Attention please, quiet in all rooms, quiet in all rooms for announcements! These words are often heard over the speaking system in all classrooms by Mr. Dent, the superintend- ent. The administration duties require a lot of time. In addition to handling a study hall period and teaching LatinI. Mr. Dent supervises the hot lunch program at the grade school cafeteria and spends a couple of periods each day checking on school problems at the Warrenton elemen- tary school. He spends most of his time at the high school. He keeps the books and financial records for the Student Body, makes out all necessary reports, and acts as advisor of the Student Body Council and Finance Committee. He is active in community activities of all kinds. His secretary is Mrs. Ethel Carrington. She is assisted by Luella Dunn, Sally Olson, and Doris Robertson. Mr. Dent's assistant and principal of W.H.S. is Mr. Moberg. DORSEY E, PRES, BUD PLUMMER VICE-PRES, DICK FORD The Student Body Officers were elected in May, 1950, to head the activities of the 1950-51 school session, Under the scrutinizing eye of Student Body President, Bud (Elmer) Plummer, the Student Council got off to a big start this year. The Council worked like the Senate. First, they agreed and then disagreed, but the Council on the whole worked very smoothly and efficiently. The Student Council had many confusing bills to decide upon; when the Council passed them, the bills were brought before the Student Body, for a final vote. The Student Body should be proud of the work done by the Student Council.

IN Senior (Spar History In the fall of 1947, thirty-three Freshmen invaded the halls of Warrenton High School in quest of higher education. Mere words cannot express how important this new venture made us feel -- that is, until the Sophomores decided to put us in our place by a traditional four-day initiation followed by a dance. Having survived this, we hit the books and busied ourselves with making acquaintances -- both with students and the new ways of the school. We found all this to be interesting as well as educational and the fall of 1948 found us 33 strong. The Sophomore year began by taking our turn with the paddle and initiating the Frosh. After this traditional event was over, we began to participate in the various activities and be- come active members in the organizations sponsored by the Student Body. As Juniors, we enrolled 26 strong. This year we attended school in the new building and being upper-classmen we were very proud. This called for some real work for we had to earn money for the Junior-Senior Bariquet, an annual spring event followed by the Junior Prom. Our treasury was gradually built up by selling candy and ice cream to the Student Body at noons and to the spectators at the ball games. With lots of hard work and the unsurpassed directing of Miss Waite, the play “Willie's Week End was successfully given. A Dutch theme was carried out by the Juniors in the last activity of the year, The Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. At the turn of the century, 28 Seniors pegan the final mile with Miss Waite and Mr. White as their advisors. Some dropped out of school and enlisted in the service. We are proud to have four members of our class who have been together all twelve years of school. This year, again under the very capable advising of Miss Waite, we presented a class play Grandad Meets A Pal. Our second activity was the Christmas Ball whose theme was White Christmas. Now that the final year had come everyone felt a little glad and a little sad over the thought of graduation. With the thought in mind, We owe everything to the faculty and the patience with which they taught us, we graduated from our Alma Mater, Dear Old Warrenton High. 13 LASS a Nah Ap AG dk AN D TESTAMENT We, The Senior Class of 1951, knowing that our High School days are approaching the end, and being physically and mentally sound, do feel that we are compelled to publish this, our last will and testament, After having adjusted all of our zeros and other troubles and received just reward we do here- by bequeath our treasures and privileges. To the Faculty, we leave our kind appreciation of their patient, faithful, and untiring efforts in guiding us along the path of life. The Senior Class leaves its seats and sympathies for their impatience to be Seniors to the Juniors, to the Sophomores our wish that they will aid the Freshmen with knowledge they have gained during the first year, and to the Freshmen the hope they will grow out of their greenness and become civilized people.

Int is Ce V2 1520 E, 14th Madison, Wisconsin June 20, 1956 Dear Miss' Waite: The fifth annual reunion of the Senior Class of 1951 was held at my home on beautiful Blue Lake in Wisconsin. Allof my former classmates attended, among whom were Pearl Klein, the wife of Bud Ragland, a New York park leaf-raker; James Hudelson, the manager of the ‘Florescent Socks’ baseball team; Gladys Nygaard, the wife of Keith Dyer, a prominent New York street cleaner. Also Gerald Alsman who is the chief peanut cracker for Planters; Roberta Simonsen, the Coach of the Bloomer Girls at Yale; Ruth Ann Smith, a pint-sized midget ‘barker for the famous East Coast Shows; and last but not least Earl Graham, a cracker salter for the Nabisco Cracker Company were present. The people who attended from the West were more numerous: first of all there is a good friend of all who owns the 'Pear-pickers Football Team , Bud Plummer; Zelma Braley, a white collar worker for a glue factory; Fred Jensen who didn't leave the old stomping grounds, but who is now the Hammond garbage collector; Albert DeHaven, ad writer for the ‘Hammond Gazette'; Shirley Combs, a stuffer of pills into pale people at the Columbia Hospital; Dick Williams, head engineer of a firm building a dam on the Shipanon River; and Charles Hansen, the comber of peacock tails at the Portland Zoo. From Seattle, Washington we find Ronald Doney who is a Top Sergeant in a company recruited from the freshmen boys in W.H,S. We also find Eugene Gray in the Army as a Sergeant; Doris Robertson is chief manicurist at Madam La Monty's Ladies Saloon. Of course there is Harley Crowder who is a shoe string salesman. We are sorry that you were unable to attend the reunion, but we know that you have been busy teaching school at our Alma Mater, “Warrenton High School , and helping Dorothy Willener in your spare time, with her home work from the first grade.

SALMI ALICE SHAWCROSS ANN SHAWCROSS 18 USN eI OmReS Well--here we are now--Junior year over at last, and we still have hopes of sailing through our last high school year. Class officers this year have made noble efforts to keep the Junior Class out in front. As a result, we have been very active, not merely in athletics, but like wise in other fields, The Juniors began building up their treasury by selling candy, pop, and ice-cream during the lunch hour. They also sponsored the Sadie Hawkins dance, The Juniors were exceedingly proud when their candidate for the Carnival Queen, Marcia Lenhard, won the honor. In February we presented a very successful play, The Groom Said Nol under the direction of Miss Waite. The proceeds from this were used to finance an enjoyable banquet and Prom given in May for the de- parting Seniors.

In sports, the sophomores were outstanding, as five of the eight volleyball members were from our class. A like number of boys represented the sophomores on the basketball team.

Well, one morning it came, or rather the girls came to school dressed in skin tight sweaters, men's shorts, one hip boot, a slipper, and their hair in five or more pig-tails with a balloon on the end; the boys wore a woman's hat, a stuffed bra, a girdle, nylons, high heels, and lip- stick all over their faces. At the end of the day, we were given a dance and party by the Sophomores. After that things began looking better. Every P. T, A, attendance prize of two dollars was won by the class. Sally Olson and Kay Magnuson were chosen as members of the Pep Club. Rose Stilwell, Luella Dunn, Sally Hopkins, and Marge Richardson were elected into Sigma Tau. Sally Hopkins was chosen princess in the Carnival. Judy Johansen made the first string on the volleyball team. For the boys, it was Clyde Rhoades and Jerry Garriot who were taken into the Letterman Club after passing initiation. All in all, we feel the Class of 1954 has a good start on a successful high school career. 22 RABY tay ay , Ry NY y sy 16 ig) fey Te) 4h SEPTEMBER School Opens National Assembly Freshmen Initiation Sacred Heart (here) Nehalem (here) Lettermen's Dance Girls League Pee loeA: National Assembly Concordia (here) OCTOBER National Assembly Knappa Swensen (here) Pep Club Initiation Senior Dance Teachers Institute Wheeler (here) Nestucca (here) National Assembly PoeleA.

During the year two dances were given to raise money for the Sigma Tau banquet, which will be held in March, The first dance was held in the grade school auditorium, December 16th, and the second one was a Valentines Day dance given, February 14th, in the grade school cafeteria. Both were very successful.

Wa 35.1 oC DEPARTMENT The year 1950-51 proved to be a most interesting year for the Music department. The first produc - tion of the school year was the Christmas program given in the Warrenton Theatre with outstanding success. The evening opened with a candlelight processional followed by Christmas carols by the Boys' Glee Club, Girls’ Glee Club, and Mixed Chorus. The play was Home For Christmas , This was a 3-act-comedy by James F. Stone, with Corrine Bergin and Donald Hansen in the leading roles. The receipts were quite satisfying and will help the department to purchase needed material. The next program to follow the Christmas program was the Easter play, “Chinese Gold , by Elliot Field. It had as its theme, “In Christ there is no East or West, but one great world brotherhood. Oriental costumes and stage effects added much to the thread of mystery and dignity so characteristic of the Oriental. The final program of the year was the operetta, Waltz Time, by Charles George. The plot re- volved around a young, ambitious composer (Don Hansen) and his many failures and final success of his writing. Sue (Mary Jo Chase) was his inspiration throughout the play and of course, there were the usual complications incited by the rival bother and girl friend. All in all, the department enjoyed a most successful year. 30 a “We eaenigt ahi eS FRONT ROW: Taylor, Neal, Hixon, Ford, Reeves, Peterson, Corkill, Sickler.

Each class was in charge of two booths. The Seniors had the Baseball Throw and a Roulette Wheel; Juniors picked the Souvenir and Darts and Balloons; the Sophomores chose Ring Toss and Tin Pin Alley; the Freshmen had the Basketball Throw and the Gandy booths. The Lions Club picked a Roulette Wheel for their booth, andthe American Legion Auxiliary had chosen the Bingo game which was held in the auditorium. The Chamber of Commerce had a roulette Wheel and the Rebekah Lodge had the Fishpond. Various school clubs also operated booths, The Carnival Queen was the Junior's representative, Marcia Lenhard, Her princesses were: Sally Hopkins, Freshman; Zelma Braley, Senior; and Barbara Richardson, Sophomore. After the crowning of the queen, was the drawing of the door prizes, which consisted of a can of anti-freeze, a turkey, a set of sheets and pillowcases, and atie, All the prizes were won by outsiders, with the exception of Mrs, Grant, who received second prize. To promote interest and honesty in the carnival, a prize of ten dollars was given to the class who took in the most money in their booths. This was won by the Juniors. The Student Body made a splendid profit on the Carnival with the excellent help of everyone. 35 Ee - x ‘ eas ’ Garriott, Ford, Lee, Dyer, Berguson, Dunn, sti 8 Resa FIRST ROW: Mr. Steck, Eggleston, Jensen, Hudleson, Head, Hansen, Davis, Smotherman, Coach White.

FOOTBALL The Warrenton Warriors under the able leadership of Coach Carl White took undisputed possession of second place in the Tidewater B league losing the last game of the season to Garibaldi in one of the coldest, wettest games that has ever been played, With eight of the eleven first-stringers from the previous year returning and a large turnout from the lower classes the Warriors quickly whipped into shape and had little trouble beating all the teams up to the last game of the season when superior weight and bad weather were against us, The prospects for next year are not too bright with nine of the first eleven leaving, either through graduation, joining the service, or quitting school. Also the Warriors will be playing in the A-2 league, which contains the smaller A schools. But you can be sure of one thing, they will be in their fighting with the old Warrenton spirit and might surprise everyone in the league.

A STRING In basketball White's Warriors got off to a slow-start in the non-league tilts but started the league play off with a bang by beating Star of the Sea, who were favored to take the league this year. Then the Warriors dropped games to Knappa, Wesport, and Star of the Sea all away from home. At the end of the season Warrenton and Star of the Sea were tied for second place with five wins and three losses. Warrenton won every game they played on their home floor and won only one away from home in league play. In spite of losing five of the first ten players, this year, there are some good prospects coming up and Warrenton will be a triple threat to others in the league next year.

BeApo sce DeAelLa ce The Warriors started baseball practice under Coach Keith Steck about the middle of March, with six returning lettermen and a large number turning out for the first time. Those returning are: Hudelson, catcher and first base; Plummer, short stop; Corkill, outfield; Ford, second base; Johnson, third base; Crowder, catcher and outfield. The following non-lettermen are also turning out: Bjorkman, Sickler, Olsen, Vollmer, Dunn, Fenton, Wakeman, Rhoades, Head, Eggleston, Watson and Black, Warrenton has one of the roughest schedules of recent years, with an eighteen game schedule against both A schools and the B schools in our league. This year for the first time the Warriors will play under lights at Vernonia and Clatskanie. Prospects are good and Coach Steck shows much optimism for the coming season. 40 FRONT ROW: Heaton, Nygaard, Lacey. BACK ROW: Combs, Harrod, Klein, Clup, Johansen. During the year of 1950-51 the girl's volleyball teams, both A and B teams, did an excellent job. The A string 's winning streak was broken to Westport which was the first defeat the team had suffered in two and a half years. SHULTZ 6 But we are proud to say that the girls accepted their defeat with MISS WAITE courtesy and good sportsmanship. Coach Score-keeper The B string which consisted mostly of freshmen finished the season undefeated. We hope they will always do as well in the years to come.
