Rogers Advisor Dorothy Magnuson BLUE TRI After a three year absence at Washburn the Blue Tri organization made a hardy comeback. Composed of approximately fifty senior girls, Blue Tri met once a week to plan service to others and promote friendship and fellowship amongst themselves. During the holiday season the girls carolled at nursing homes and trimmed the halls of Washburn with decorations they had made. On Valentine’s Day Blue Tri sold carnations. In the spring the girls painted the field bleachers orange and blue, the school colors. Blue Tri is alive and well once again, doing what they can for the betterment of the school. 66

BOYS’ STATE In June, 1976, four Washburn students were each sponsored by an American Legion Post to participate in Boys’ State at St. John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota. With over one hundred other state boys, they set up and elected a Minnesota government. Activities included party conventions, organizing platforms and listening to speakers. T. Petarson, J.

This could have included introductions and descriptions of the United States, Minnesota, the community and or Washburn. New students were individually called by a Reach member who answered questions, showed them to class, introduced them to others and who became a friend.

Cheering for the orange and blue, the Pep Club rallied and returned this year with new hope and spirit. They eagerly attempted to promote all sports by painting pep-stirring signs and inspiring the teams to victory at games. This club was missed in its absence and is now developing into an exuberant crew determined to fight all the way for Washburn High. PEP CLUB ROW 1: D. Strand, M. Aubrecht ROW 2: L. Curry, L.
