The book they produce usually looks pretty much like the ones they have produced in the past. In this Brainonian we recognize this weakness of human nature. We subscribed to the adage that there is nothing new under the sun. Yet your book has not been built with a defeatist attitude. We adopted the philosophy that we were going to build a logical book, one that presents the year as far as possible in its chrono- logical sequences; and a book that would be new to Washington High School. j No amount of effort has been spared in telling you the story of 1939-40 in as 7 accurate and interesting a way as pos- sible. The extent to which you enjoy this book is the criterion of its success. : «io — EP RT TT TL a TT Te Pe St ee re ae Oe oe ee — oe “Saas oe ee . . Dedication 5 uv these years our fathers and mothers have held high hopes and dreamed dreams that we may be a little better, a little stronger, that life may be a little kinder and treat us more gently, that we may be a little better prepared to carry on the work of the world. For this they have labored; for this they have denied themselves leisure and comfort, that we may have more. Every parent lives again in his child- ren and most rare is the father or mother who does not most ardently hope that this generation may start at a point he at- tained after years of labor. To father and mother who have not only given us life, but have sacrificed to make our lives fuller, we dedicate this book. : | Re Ree te RS fo i, TRO = PR. ee ee MOM BRE Te AS 2 led erm re eeelilies eo Reading, Riting, and Rithmatic Lest you forget; we shall remind you of history, where you read of wars, Indians, and treaties; English, where you struggled with verbs, nouns, and gerunds; Latin, which you translated and learned about Caesar; geometry, where triangles appeared exceedingly complicated; biology, where you dissected frogs to satisfy your- self as to what makes them go; and we could go on down the list bringing back memories of your former class days. Or if you weren't the bookworm type, notice the next page. You may have prepared a meal and burned your fingers, or perhaps you were your mother’s pride and joy at that op- eretia. It is hard to know of what these pages will remind you, but they will re- mind you of some- thing. KLE REE = gis sala ape ek é | § Wists Sector, Se sinisiete Manual!

This marked the Warriors’ fifteenth game without defeat. Carl Englert and “Frog” Veillette scored the pair of touchdowns for Brainerd. The next game saw the Warriors’ winning streak stop- ped by a former Brainerd athlete, one Tony Hubbard. For two years the “Blue and White” of Brainerd had engaged the toughest teams in Central Minnesota and had walked off with two “Central Six’’ championships, but as all good things have to come to an end, so did Brainerd’s fifteen game winning streak. The stage was set as the Brainerd team marched onto the field. Tony Hubbard, a former Brain- erd player, was captain of the Bemidji eleven, and in his heart was the hope of every athlete—that he might return and defeat his old Alma Mater? He did just that in playing the game of his life. Novotney scored the lone Brainerd tally. Keminiscing ee Brainerd .. . Aitkin 0 Brainerd .. . Bemidji 14 Brainerd ...

Brainerd scored her lone touch- down on a pass from Brandt to Englert in the first period. Playing before a large Homecoming crowd, and on Friday the 13th, the Warriors defeated a fast Crosby-Ironton team 12-7 to add another dramatic chapter to the “Martin and Coy” rivalry of the two schools. Gene Brandt, sopho- more halfback, was the star of the game, throwing passes with deadliness. Englert and Novotney were on the scoring end of the two touchdown passes. ‘Fish’ Lawrence also played an important part in the victory. Feeling very much alive after their victory over Crosby- Ironton, the Warriors romped over a weak Fergus Falls team to the tune of 33-12. Veillette and G. Johnson made beauti- ful long runs for touchdowns. Englert and Novotney played brilliant ball. In the final game of the season the Warriors lost their third game to a fast and powerful St. Cloud Tech. team by the score of 6-0. Hary, for St. Cloud, won the game in the third period when he dashed thirty-seven yards in an off-tackle jaunt for the only touchdown of the game. Co-Captains Veillette and Englert appropriately chose the final game for the outstanding performance of their high school career. aos Geraldine Erickson, Doreen Mageli, Edith Carl- son, Queen; Betty Spencer, Charlotte Spencer , | Quel Badinage !

Those of you that have taken part in plays and activities held in the auditorium know the value of their work. The respon- sibility these boys have taken in setting stages and props accounts for the succes of many programs. LIBRARY CLUB: The amount of time spent by these girls in the library has been of benefit to them as well as the student body. They have gained a knowledge of library science in their study of book arrangement while the students have had the advantage of their services. Sure- ly they are worthy of this small recognition. TRAFFIC PATROL: Undaunted by disagreeable weather, the boys on the Traffic Patrol have offered invaluable ser- vice to the student body. For the time they put in they receive no special merit or reward, but they have a feeling of satisfaction in thinking they might have saved a life during the year. To them we extend a hearty “Thanks”. TRAFFIC PATROL: Campbell, J.

The modern school lassie may be seen tripping through our halls dressed as our stude “Blondie.’”’ The prevailing fashions for our Washington femmes are moc- casins, or perhaps saddle shoes, sloppy Joe sweaters, skirts and hair ribbons. Our lads are dressed like Beau Brummel Kittleson, in saddle shoes, slacks, sport coats, and sweaters. When the warm spring days roll around the modes change. Jerry portrays the suitable fashion then, dressed in a light slack suit. So much for our sport clothes. At formal occasions such as the Prom, our students are transformed into formals and dress suits. Such are the prevailing styles and popular fads that come and go. gt “You Can't Take It With You” Junior College Production eee Editor Edith Carlson Willing Workers Spencer, Aylward, McComas, Jyleen, Finney, McPherson, Helgeson; Olsen, Hennessy, Boberg.

An hour or more each day was devoted to practice from which came A or B rating at st. Cloud. The problem of financing band trips and expenses is always a serious one, this year being no exception. To meet these expenses the band sponsored several pop concerts, played at the auto show, and held a very suc- cessful tag day. Also the school board con- tributed.

To the high school came choirs from neigboring towns in this district to participate. On Saturday afternoon section- al practices were held in different rooms. In the evening Mr. Preston, guest Conductor, led the massed choir in several renditions of song before an enthusiastic audience. A boys’ glee club came with Mr. Preston from Moorhead teachers’ college to sing several numbers. Next the choir sang at two conventions, the Baptist = and Grange.

These small organizations were newly organized this year, the participants being taken from the large choir. The Mixed Octett sang at the Presbyterian Church, P.T. A.s at the Senior Christmas Banquet and of course all the pop concerts. This group won an “A” rating at both the District and State. Among the favorite songs are “Climbing up the Mountain,” “Beautiful Savior,” and “National Peace is all in April Evening.” The Sextett received an “A” in the District, but BOE OCTIENT: Eeccern evar icae lost out in the state.

The rating enabled the choir to participate in the National contest which was held in St. Paul. Tag day was sponsored by the choir and the band in ™ order to raise money to go to the National in St. Paul. This Tag Day proved to be a success as the towns people sup- f | ported it and $216 was raised. The additional expenses — were met by donations from the school board. This year the choir has established a fine record, a | record for all supporters of the musical organization to be proud of the choir’s reputation and wish it continued suc- a cess.

The story centers around a pert, young maiden known as Miss Phoebe, who expects to marry the dashing Captain Brown. He leaves for the war and she; together with her sister Miss Susan, start a school for small children, to con- sole themselves. Later, Captain Brown returns and tells Miss Phoebe she does not look the same. Then she realizes her school- mistress garb is not very becoming. The next evening she dresses up in a beautiful gown and styles her hair as it used to be. When Brown discovers her, he fails to recognize her so she introduces herself as Miss Phoebe’s niece. From this point, to the finale, there are many trials and tribulations while getting the situation straightened out. Three old maids who live across the street add humor to the story, playing a part of see all evil, hear all evil, tell all evil. Despite this it all ends happily. ol —= a 6 ——— = —— SS ae ye ae Pe ae A Stas 2 a a se ——— =e eS —— . —_ as - . lia Ie, — — ia ’ ! —— = . a tj al Re, ee Bud Burton Edith Carlson fe re re) wn oS Seat E 3 e) | a © o o : O g - tJ % G fe} A L g ° o C f: a © = 5 : co oO Coach Engebretson tne 1D BOX-SCORE Won 6, lost 12. ae Wadena ...... 22 ae Alexandria ....27 ahs Little Falls Gus Novotney, Co-Captain; Stewart Kunde, Carl Englert, Co-Captain; Gen e Brandt, Jack Enright, Coach Engebretson. eee Gilbert .......36 26...

Staples Gus Novotney Jack Enright Stewart Kunde “Wimp’s” WARRIORS Gus sinks one in the Crosby game Gene Branat GUS NOVOTNEY played guard on the Brainerd five and was one of the main rea- sons why the Warriors advanced to the semi-finals of the district tournament. Gus is a three yeor letter man and reached his peak in his junior year when he was named on the all-district team as a guard. JACK ENRIGHT was the southpaw forward of the team and although standing several inches under six foot was one of the best rebound men in the district. Jack was an ex- cellent ball handler but lacked the shooting ability to stand out as a star. STEWART KUNDE played his first year as a regular and although he had little ex- perience he gave a good account of himself. Stewart, a senior, lacked the scoring power to become a great center but was a good man on the rebounds. GENE BRANDT, a sophomore, was named on the all-district team as a forward and | was the leading scorer of the tournament. CARL ENGLERT was co-captain of the War- riors and an all-district guard in his junior year. Carl was one of the leading scorers on the team and will be sadly missed on next year's five. Carl Englert h | fi iY a qi q = i f ma Ed Marshall GENE JOHNSON, a senior, was the out- standing reserve of the team and gave many sterling performances. Gene was a good man to have under the basket but his shooting stopped him from stepping into the starting lineup. EDWARD MARSHALL was the tallest man on the team and would have been a regular had not an operation laid him low early in the season. Ed, a junior, should be a big asset to next year’s team. WARREN BENSON, a senior, was the first string guard reserve on the Warrior five. A good shot, Warren played his first year on the varsity and gave a good account of him- self when he was injected into the lineup, but was handicapped by his lack of height. GILMORE LAWRENCE was a mid-year man who was sadly missed atter he left the team at the end of the first semester. A good shot, he furnished the spark for the team while he was in the lineup. ALAN LUKE was handicapped by his lack of height but gave a good account of him- self when injected into the lineup. Alan play- ed his first year on the varsity as a senior. Warren Benson “Romeo” Enright on the rebound Gilmore Lawrence Alan Luke A tense moment in the Aitkin game. Ritari takes a shot Intramural Finals The B Squad Witb the disappointing season the Warriors had this year, much of the attention was turned to the “B” squad and possibility of a winning team for next year. Although the junior Warriors did not have an empressive season as far as victories go, they did in spots show the form that in time could mold them into a winning aggregation. They had the speed and the height to win but lacked the scoring ability. In Ritari and Nutting they had two guards that were good defensive men who did their share of the scoring. Wolhart, a sophomore who stood well over six foot four, did most of the rebound work, while Warner and Fredstrom at forward were two of the fastest men in the district. This made up the first five but the brightest spot was that Coach Engebretson had four more boys who ranked almost on a par with the starting five. The two Andersons, Francis and Andy, gave them two small but fast forward reserves, while Hellen and Enright are two fine reserves at guard. Although Nutting will not be back for service next year, the Warriors will gain the services of Roy Cot- tom who should be a big as- set to the team. Don’t look for these boys to be playing on the 'B” squad next yeur, for they will be members of the regular Warriors and on their ability will rest the suc- cess of the Wariors of future years. “B” SQUAD: Seconp Row: Nutting, Anderson, Enright, Wolhart, Schiel, Cass.

As many as any per- son could possibly want, could always be found at the regular Thursday morning meet- ings of the G.A.A. The meetings, however, were only a very small part of the activities participated.in by the members. Every Tues- day morning and Friday afternoons were set aside for all the girls to take part in all kinds of sports. All the girls time was not spent in school. There was skiing, skating, bowling and various other sports also listed on their cur- riculum. The Girls’ Athletic Association is a club whose time is well spent. Their activities are wholesome, good exercise, as well as enter- taining. There is a spirit of friendship among the girls that is seldom found anywhere else. That spirit is always carried by every girl to every hike, party, meeting, and also in each girl's personal home life. f ad Se AsovE: Volleyball is an early spring sport participated by everybody. Tourn- aments are held between the classes. Lert: Softball is a sport played in the spring of the year. It is played for en- joyment only. Table tennis is enjoyed by all the year around. A tournament is held for anyone that is interested. Winners of table tennis are Jackie Lee and Leona Lehman Runners-up are Myrtle Anderson and Lois Gordon Badminton tournaments are held during the winter. Delores Erickson and Mardelle Rossini were the winners this year, with Myrtle Anderson and Dorothy Engle as runners-up. Speedball tournaments are held in the fall of every year. The junior class holds the winning honors this year. Tap dancing is an excellent mus- cular exercise, being taken up within the classes only. It is taught for the purpose of devloping muscular control and for giving the girls the rhythm for dancing that will be necessary during their school life. In connection with tap dancing, modern dancing is also taught. It too, is taught for rhythm. Fundamentals of tap dancing are shown by Leona Lehman, Myrtle And- erson, Jean Turcotte, and Virginia Jy- leen. = Seine ae - Ss. — SS ee = — SS ee rams 2 wae ee $A See 28 eeKES 3 vere a “When in R me do as the Romane do” Latin Banquet, April 9 | ‘The Windmills of Holland” Junior High Operetta, March 14 Stevens, Stedman, Larson, Beaumont, Adams, } | “The Man in the Bowler Hat” ' Yokie, Warner Jack takes “Coon” and gives Luke the broom Senior Spring Dance ee ‘Sarr ey “aE ; Swinging it at the prom es What a sight met our eyes as we stepped into a bit of old Hawaii, far from our humdrum, everyday lives. Festoons of Span- ta ish moss hung from the ceiling and exotic, tropical flowers peep- | ed out at us from the walls of the grass huts placed in the bs corners. On one side of the room, two huge steamers putfed a their way into port, while on the other side charming native | girls smiled at us. A blue lake nestled between gigantic vol- - canos. Hawaiian girls in grass skirts piloted us to our tables under bs dancing ballons, where leis were placed around our necks by oe Hawaiian boys. 7 Patty Roth and James Nelson The grand march, led by the president of the junior class, rc on their way Dean Warner and Mary Lou Carlson, and the president of the | | senior class, Carl Johnson and Lorraine Gaustad, made a color- = ful picture as they promeaded to the strains of Hawaiian music by Larry Roberts and his orchestra. After an announcement by the master of ceremonies, Rus- sel Fitzsimmons, the floor show began. Two young artists, Judy Ross and Nikki Callies entertained with three tap dances, and 4 i t c Jerry and Don, high school alumni, danced a modern Hawaiian [ ai ¢O F ae war dance. After the boys’ quartette had sung several numbers, a light refreshments were served. 7 At twelve o'clock, tired but happy prom-goers filed out to : | get their wraps.

The Warriors had but three returning lettermen and were faced with the problem of competing in the meet with almost a green squad. Led by Captain Carl Englert, the Warriors scored 45 3-4 points to Staples 73 3-4. Carl placed first in the discus and third in the shot put, while Saarinen took honors in the shot put and the second discus. Alan Luke and Eilert Olson finished first in the high and low hurdles. Virgil Austin and Gene Johnson also took honors in the 440 and the 100 yard dash respectively. Ed Marshall placed third in the broad jump. The rest of the Warriors squad gave excellent performances, namely Flahave, Benson, War- ner, Stevens, Fredstrom, and Gardner, a freshman.
