THE NEW WASHBURN HIGH We, as students, are proud of cur new high school and we would . like to display to you our building as we see it every day. For the past three years we have been attending school at the Du Pont Club. Although we are grateful to the DuPont Company for the use of their building, nevertheless, we are glad to have a new school of our own. In contrast to the “Club” we have adequate lighting facili- ties, better seating capacity, pastel colored walls and bright-colored title floors, and an ample heating system. We thank everyone from Washburn and surrounding communities for their generous contributions and their warm interest. Doll.5 !

BAND HISTORY The past year found the Washburn High School Band a very suc- cessful organization of thirty-six members. We got off to a fine start by marching in the Northland College Homecoming parade during freezing weather. We also marched in the W. H. S. Homecoming parade and played at three football games. The Band played at the All Star basketball game at Ondossagon in March. We gave three home concerts and concerts at Port Wing, Bayfield, and Ondossagon schools. Several solos and ensembles were present- ed at each. The other schools ret urned concerts. The Band plans to participate in the Music Festival in Ashland on April 28. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 51 FOOTBALL TEAM Left to right: ROW 1: Larry Arnson, Bernard Roberts, Gene Newhouse, Kenneth Welton, Ralph Handberg, Bill Hagstrom, Ken Newman.

THE 1950 FOOTBALL SEASON With only two weeks of hasty practice, the Guards ground out a 14-7 victory over the Phillips’ Loggers. Washburn came from behind in the last period to win. The Castle Guards gave a repeat perfomance of the Phillips’ game by overpowering the bigger Duluth East Greyhounds 7-0. Washburn gained revenge for the previous year’s defeat by pound- ing out a 21-13 verdict over the Cathedral Panthers after trailing 13-7 at the halftime. The Hayward Hurricanes handed Washburn defeat No. 1, plas- tering them 20-0. The Castle Guards made repeated gains on the ground but used it all up in attempts to get out of their own terri- tory. Chequamegon Bay supremacy continued to lie in our hands as the result of a thrilling 20-13 victory over the DePadua Bruins. The final game of the season, playing the Hermantown Hawks for the first time, the Castle Guards battled their way to a 20-16 vic- tory. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 51 BASKETBALL “A” TEAM Left to right: ROW 1: Stanley Stefinske, Ken Newman, Dick Bellile, John Smith, Jim Warren. ROW 2: Manager Bill Smith, Tom Arnson, Robert Bolin, David Swanson, George Nowak, Coach Johnson. The Castle Guards rounded out a mediocre season this year, grab- bing 5th place in Indianhead loop play. They ended that play with 5 wins, 7 losses. In the tournament the Guards dropped a hard fought decision to Iron River 49-41 in the first game. In consolation semi-finals they were sw amped by Drummond 64-32. As was ex- pected, Dick Bellile, only returning regular, led the squad wdth his stellar play and shooting. The rest of the first five was comprised of seniors, Stan Stenfiske, Jim Warren, John Smith, and Bernard Roberts. Although short, averaging 5' 10 in height, thev provided the opposition wdth plenty of trouble. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 51 INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS WASHBURN HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL SEASON (excluding tournament) PLAYER GAMES PF FGA FG AVE.

Bernardine Johnson was elected from a choice of five girls. Ruth Summerfield, Phyllis Beilile, and Carolyn Mattson, retained their positions from the previous year. The cheerleaders chose Coach Johnson’s four-year old daughter, Judy, to cheer with them at the tournament. The five cheerleaders have done a fine job this year in promoting better sportsmanship in the school. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 51 PEP CLUB Left to right: Fay Harris, Secretary-Treasurer; Robert Bolin, Vice-president. This year all the students of Washburn High School were mem- bers of the Pep Club. The organization was very active under the leadership of Robert Bolin and Fay Harris. The most important ac- tivities were mixers, pep meetings, and the selling of W. H S. em- blems. 51 19 CHEQUAMEGON CLASS PROPHECY By June and Pal May 27, 1971—Dear Diary, Today I received a most pleasant surprise in the form of an invitation to the re-union of the Class of 1951 to be held at the newly erected Bellile Gymnasium at Washburn. Deighted that Washburn has at last acquired a new gym and at the prospect of seeing my classmates again, I immediately called in my business manager and private secretary, June Olson, to inquire hrw little hard-up Washburn had ever managed to build such a magni- ficent structure. June informed me that Dick Bellile had made a fortune playing professional basketball and he and his wife, the busy, petite Mary Peake of high school days, had financed the erection of the gym. Excited at the prospect of visiting with our old classmates, June and 1 closed ‘ Palmya’s Antique Shoppe” and started an our journey to Washburn. May 29, 1971—Dear Diary, Today dawned bright and cheery and proved to be full of promise of re-union, for the first person we met was Claude Ross, owner and operator of the flourishing “Washburn Cab Corporation.’ He knew our destination and took us directly to the gym. On the way Claude told us that many of our classmates were residing in Washburn and furnishing him with most of his busi- ness were Howard Hanson, English and Social Problems teacher at the h'gh school; Robert Burlager, owner of a group of cabins on Lake Superior; and Patt Rogers, who had invented a new type of blue jeans for women, called “Patt’s Jeans.” Same old “home, ec.” Patt. When we reached the gym, we were greeted by an exquisitely- dressed, diamond-bedecked, Lester Lindblad, who informed us that he had inherited a fortune from an unknown relative and still did not have to work for a living. Sitting next to him was a tall, dark person dressed in a very chic looking Norwegian sweater and ski pants. Coming closer we discov- ered it was Larry Arnson who had so taken his hobby to heart that he became a professional ski jumper and toured Europe, winning many medals and trophies. Just as we found our places at the banquet table, we heard a solemn voice trying to quiet the audience and looking up we discover- ed it was the Reverend Stanley Stefinske about to give the invocation and beginning the program. The next things on the program, announced toastmaster, Eugene Newhouse, emcee on Ladies” Fair, were two musical numbers; the first rendered by Miss Glenore Chappa, world renowned jaz cornet player, and the sceond by Jean Cordts, soprano, who had just returned from studying voice in Paris. During the program we learned that the food was donated by our old classmates, Billy Anderson and Jerry Swanson who are now in competition in the grocery business, for Billy owns a chain of food markets throughout the United States and Jerry is still struggling to get “Swanson’s Grocery” (the former “Bergquist’s Grocery”) up to meet the standards of “William’s Super Market.” 19 CHEQUAMEGON 51 The rest of the program consisted of speeches by Kenneth New- man, (now very heavy-set), athletic director at a Southern College; and Donna Peterson, ghost writer for John Smith, the newly-elected head of the Foreign Relations Board in the United Nations. Donna’s speeches must have done the trick. Next we saw sitting by us and engaged in hearty conversation, Venette Holzer, whom we learned had taken over Miss Lowe’s office job at Washburn High School, and a Mr. Frederck J. Koskolonski, archi- tect and builder from Chicago, Illinois. Suddenly I felt a jerk at my shoelace. Looking down I discover- ed Jimmy “tease-the-girls” Warren. “Has not changed a bit,” I mus- ed. After we had chatted a bit he told me had taken over his dad’s dairy and that “Hillside Dairy II” was prospering very well. Finishing the main course we attempted to get up and meet some more of our old schoolmates, but before this could be accomplished, someone whizzed by our chairs, almost knocking us down. I inquir- ed who that was and wes told it was John Eskola, who was in quite a hurry to get to Ashland to see his girl friend. Well, we finally got up and began to look around. On one side of the room we saw a woman with a unique hair-do. We wandered over to vet a closer look and much to our surprise, we saw Ivadell Carl- son. She w’as now one of the more famous hair stylists of the w'orld, and was working in one of the Hollywood movie studios. While we wrere talking to Ivadell, we asked her where her friend, Ruth Swanson, was. She told us that Ruth was married and living in Sweden and she couldn’t come to the class re-union because her hus- band and her children had the chicken pox. Guess she still loves her chickens. Next we saw a woman dressed in a leopard skin and wearing a bow and arrow slung over her shoulder. We were told that the woman was the famous Alicia. “The Huntress,” Odegard. She had been all ever the world trying her luck at hunting, although she hadn’t bagged any game since the one hundred-eighty pound doe she shot during hunting season in her senior year of high school. We were interrupted by dogs barking outside. When we rushed to the door we saw’ two men dressed in furs and skins, and, of all things, driving a deg team and none other than ‘Red” Roberts and Bob Conklin, famous trappers who had left Alaska, with their dog team, the day they received their invitation to the Class of ’51 Re- union, but didn’t get to Washburn until just now. The going was easy until they had got out of the snow country, after that they had pretty tough sledding. Standing nearbv and admiring the dog team, was a bulk of some- thing which resembled a hospital laundry bag. Upon further inves- tigation it was discovered to be Ralph Handberg, bandaged from head to foot as a result of an accident which occurred in his Hell Driving profession. I heard someone behind me talking to her self about some chemis- try equations. Turning around I saw Patricia Hebert, Professor of Chemistry at Columbia University. But it seems that she wasn’t do- 19 CHEQUAMEGON 51 ing so well as a chemistry teacher, because all the students seemed to know just a little more about chemistry than she. Spying a drinking fountain near.by, I went over to get a drink. There was a woman ahead of me who looked vaguely familiar. When she had her drink of water she held the fountain for me while I got a drink or, rather tried to get one; for when I bent over I got my fa.a full of water. Looking up I recognized Ruth Summerfield. She said she was sorry, but she just couldn’t resist the temptation. She had tak- en Judy Canova’s place on the radio and now went by the name ot “Ruthy Lane.” After talking with Ruthy Lane for a few minutes, I asked her where Betty Steen was. Ruthy pointed her out to me. There she was in the corner handing out theatre programs. As we exchanged greet- ings she told me that she was now president of the Washburn Thea- tre Guild. She asked me if I was going to attend the movie the next evening which is “Skating to Stardom” starring Carol Weber and I told her I would be there with bells on. Looking out the window I saw a brand new 1971 jet-propelled Chevrolet standing near the curb. Turning to someone near me I asked to whom that cream-colored vehicle belonged. I was told that it belonged to Douglas Karker. He was now married to his high school sweetheart, Anne, and owned the Karker Kreamery and the Chevrolet Garage. Soon it was time to leave, and as we went to get our coats we met the janitor and night watchman, who was David Kurschrgr. After saying goodnight to Dave and to some of the others, we be- gan our weary journey back home. May, 1971—Dear Diary, Having shared a wonderful experience such as this, one cannot help but have a feeling of satisfaction. But, you know-, Diary, I always knew the members of the class of ’51 would be successful. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 51 SENIOR CLASS WILL I, WILLIAM ANDERSON, will my job to anyone that wants it.

Donna Peterson was general chairman and Eugene Newhouse was toastmaster. We chose as our theme “The Gay Nineties.” The room was de- corated with a spinning wheel and other antiques. After the very delicious dinner, served by the ladies of the Emanuel Lutheran church, we enjoyed a program of speeches and music rendered by the students and teachers. PROM The major social event of our Junior year was the prom which was held in May. Fred Koski served as chairman. The theme was Hawaiian Cruise and the predom inating color was blue. The crown, ing of King Richard Bellile and Queen Ruth Summerfield climaxed the Grand March. HOMECOMING The Washburn High School Homecoming was celebrated on the 13th and 14th of October. Many enthusiastic plans were made under the chairmanship of Bob Bolin, but because of the rain on Friday night, the parade was postponed. On Saturday afternoon with favorable weather, we again proceed- ed with many lovely floats, although they were slightly damaged from the rain. Because of the scheduled game that afternoon, many fcotball players could not partake in the parade, so several alumni took their places. We Washburn fans then witnessed a sad defeat with Hayward 20 to 0. At night the Blue Rhythm Band furnished the music for our annual homecoming dance. The following Wednesday our band, cheerleaders, and townspeople participated in the burning of the delayed bonfire which was too wet on Friday night to burn. It was used for a pep rally for the coming DePadua game. Several encouraging speeches were given and our spirit was high, so the ending of our homecoming was enjoyable. FORENSICS Last year a great many of the W. H. S. students participated in four fields of speech work. The first place winner of these groups re- presented our school in the Indianhead contest. Both the first and second place winners participated in the annual Hurley contest. A six inch letter was awarded each of the following for participa- tion in the contest: Tom Anderson, Donna Kluge, Ruth Summerfield, Donna Peterson, Charlotte Bednarski, Jean Nowak. This year we are hoping to see many more students with an in- terest in speech work. 19 CHEQUAMEGON 51 NAME HUMOR WOULD LIKE TO BE WILL BE William Anderson Hot Rod Racer Trucking Larry Arnson City slicker Hay pitcher Richard Bellile Pro-basketball star All balled up Robert Burlager Card shark Joker Ivadell Carlson Beautician Getting the works Glenore Chappa Movie star Just an extra Robert Conklin Trapper Trapped Jean Cordts Reporter Peddling newspapers Palmyra Grupstra Shorter Stringing along Ralph Handberg Meat packer Meatball Howard Hanson Miss Finley’s adviser In her flock Patricia Hebert Ballet dancer Tip-toeing around Venette Holzer Secretary Home wrecker Douglas Karker Model man “Burma Shave” model Fred Koski Fireman Fire-bug David Kurschner Settled down “Wanderin’’ Lester Lindblad Electrician Live wire Eugene Newhouse Bartender Barfly Kenneth Newman In Heaven Vice-versa Alyce Odegard Horse owner Horsing around June Olson Wave Ripple Mary Peake Tall Half there Donna Peterson Psychologist Patient Bernard Roberts Barber Cut-up Patricia Rogers Ice skater Slipping around Claude Ross Preacher Preached at John Smith President Present Betty Steen Chorus girl A-yodeling Stanley Stefinske Six feet Five feet Ruth Summerfield Artist Posing Gerald Swanson Bugler Bungler Ruth Swanson Cute chick Just plain chicken James Warren Umpire Tormenter Carol Weber Surrounded So-round 19 CHEQUAMEGON 51 September 5 15 October 5 19 November 10 17 23 27 28 December 4 11 20 25 January 1 8 24 February 21 March 22 27 April 7 May 4 29 31 CALENDAR Well, here we are—the beginning: of another school year.
