SEN I II li CLASS WASHINGIQILHIIEF salmon 1946 Fllllllwllllll This year the Hi-Life Staff has been aided by a larger supply of materials and a broader financial backing. With this in mind we have tried to give you a bigger and better annual. If this, the 1946 Hi-Life, brings to anyone the smallest bit of happiness, our work will have been well worth while. . lllllllA'l'lllN We, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred forty six, do dedicate this twenty-seventh volume of the Hi-Life to Miss Marjorie Stivers, our teacher, and friend, in grateful recognition of her many years of faithful and devoted service. IN MIlMllIllAM Helen Knupp, our friend and classmate, passed away sud- denly on January 5, 1946. Her cheerful disposition and pleasing attitude are missed by all of us. May we extend our deepest sympathies. E w J' Q ef' Q W P66 .. A + Ki-f' 'f FJW? J7 + + dm ' S455 w g.

The chief problems confronting them this year have been the questions of a, new gym and auditorium, and reopening the Junior College. Those serving on the board are President, Harry Ramseyer, Richard Stewart, Henry Bailey, B. F. Bostwick, Jr., and Marion George. C. P. Weldin and Frank Kos serve as secretary and treasurer, respectively. May we express our appreciation to Mr. Schell, superintendent of schools, who has worked diligently and has helped us through our school problems. We feel that he has most oapahly filled his post and its many responsibilities. In behalf of the senior class and other high school students, may we take this opportunity to thank Mr. Tervelt, our efficient and well' liked principal, for the generous help he has given us throughout the school year.

Coached in the backfield by Bert Seidler and in the line by Gus Alsip, the squad accounted for 22 or 23 boys making game trips. The squad brought in a 4 win and 5 loss record which, considering the inexperience that was prevailing, was very good. The three lettermen, Pratt, Pauls, and Livingston, all con- tributed greatly to the team's success. Pratt and Livingston were elected as co-captains. Marshall, Livingston, and Kelsey received honorable mention on the Des Moines Reg- ister All State Team. Washington's brand of football was an entirely new one to the Little Six Con- ference. It thrilled and baffled the crowds. and brought in bigger crowds than those of many years past. The Demons earned the title of being the most potent passing team in the Little Six. In their games they out-gained all opponents in the air. They lacked only the necessary experience to make the touchdowns. Coach Seidler is to be complimented on awarding more letters and letting more boys iIlt0 the game than any coach for some time past. Losing 8 letter men and keeping 12, Washington faces a prosperous season next year. To Raymond Carter goes the distinction of being the only freshman letter winner on the squad. an F00'l'BALL FOOTBALL SQUAD Front Row: Duane Redlinger, Raymofnd,Carter, Dick McC1eery, Don Wilson, Bob Liv- xngston, John Green, Bob Anderson, Bill Kelsey, Dale Eyestone Second Raow: Dick Young, Mervin Kern, Dick Dare, Dick Brock, Carlton Mangold, War- ren Stewart, Don Stone, Grant Walker, Dick Maxwell Third Row: Bob Noonan, Dick Paul, Wayne Marshall, Jerry Denison, Keith Williams, Jerry Longer, Bob Kelley, Bob Berdo, Leo Olson, Bob Bell Fourth Row: Don Thornton, Bob Dodder, Paul Beenblossom, Lloyd Turnipseed, Leon Swift, Charles Pratt, Adolph Perez, Jim Walker, Kenneth Hines, Tom Murphy Fifth Row: Jim Holbert, Dale White, Coach Gus Alsip, Coach Bert Seidler, Manager Bob Crandall, Jack Pauls, Bob Redlinger FOOTBALL ' h re ..................

H. Seldler I The Washington Demons started out with a bang this year, only to fall behind in the first half of the season. However, they picked up greatly in the second half, win- ning a good percentage of their games and giving some hard and exciting tussles. Ot- fering a better record than that in several years, they rplayed a fast tyrpe of ball with the guards -doing as much or more of the scoring as the forwards and center. They had a balanced combination, broken only by Pauls' high scoring. Jack ,was put out of action in the Ft. Madison game hy an ankle injury, which caused the Demons a serious blow. Until then Jack hadi held third, and then fourth plate, scoring honors in the Little Six. The Demon's tyvpe of ball was a thrilling and fast one, drawing crowds far larger than our gym capacity. They earned the credit of rolling up more points than any other team in the League. The Demons had five letter men back along with sev- eral first year boys out there doing a swell job.

They played against all of the teams in the league and showed ability and spirit that will- surely be valuable next year. They played fast and active, being alfways alert and fighting. In all of their games, they were outsized' both by height and weight which caused them some rough moments and Tad falls. Fighting right back every inch of the way. these little Demons have shown a brand of ball which will always insure W H S of having a good team. Coached by Gus Alsip, these boys constantly have shovwn the marks of well drilled players, BASKETBALL Washington 48 here. . .Sigourney 34 38 there.. Iowa City 72 38 there.. Mt. Pleasant 36 21 here.
