PUBLISHED BY THE GRADUATING CLASS OF WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL COLORS: MAROON AND GOLD THEME: OUR SCHOOL January FORCUJORD As you turn the pages of this book, you will note that an attempt has been made to revise, somewhat, this edi- tion. Although not too radical, the change is quite notice- able. Due to war conditions, our problems being many and varied, it has been most difficult to publish our edi- tion this year; however, the Lens staff hopes that you will appreciate this book. If it does meet with your approval, we will be amply repaid for our efforts. DCDICflTIOn The Senior Class of Washington High dedicates this book to Our School. During our years at Washington High, many of us have failed to recognize the important part our school is to play in our future life. As we are about to graduate, we cannot help but become more appreciative of that importance. When we depart through its portals to com- mence a new life in our various fields of endeavor, we should pause and give thanks that we were able to com- plete our course of instruction in an exceptional institu- tion. May we always cherish the memory of our school. flppRCcmnon Both the Lens Business and Editorial staff wish to thank those who have aided us in publishing this edition. To the Lens advisors, to the photographer, the engraver, the printer, and to all those whose efforts made possible this edition of the Lens, we thank you. Graduation marks the end of your formal high school education. To most of you. it has been a serious endeavor to learn and profit by the experiences of those in charge and from the interchange of ideas with others. To a few, it has been putting in time with the idea of just getting by. To all of you, it means active participation in a regimented life, either military or on the home front. The seriousness with which you have taken your secondary schooling will determine your useful- ness during the present emergency. It is predicted that in the future, college entrance will be based on ability to learn rather than on finan- cial circumstances enabling the candidate to meet obligation. Sec- ondary schools will assume a new and a greater importance. An opportunity is offered; the serious minded will benefit, and the idlers will be shoved aside by both school and society. STEPHEN E. SMITH, Principal MR. WINDNAGLE For over one hundred years, Americans had been almost entirely free of any serious foreign chal- lenge. We were free to develop our mental, moral, and spiritual quali- ties and our material resources. Now our generation has seen our world contract until the maniacal raving of an Austrian paranoic has jeopardized every American ideal, every American spiritual value, every American material accom- plishment, every American life. You January graduates, along with others of your immediate gen- eration, will bear the brunt of the conflict. You graduates, forming the nucleus of a trained personnel, must also win the peace to come. Your tasks will not always be pleasant. Reverses and disappointments will come. Whatever your tasks, no mat- ter how keen your disappointments, we have faith that you will continue to serve honestly, faithfully, and well. You are the group to whom future Americans must say, “Never —was so much owed by so many to so few. MISS OHMERT There comes to us a certain pride in those things which we label Ours — our family—our school — our country. A sense of belonging— a sense of security—a sense of be- ing needed spur us on to do our best. You have had at Washington High School an organization which you have been proud to call yours. You have been citizens of a small community which has been giving you practice in group living. We cannot help wondering at this time, when we of America are fighting for those cherished things we call ours, just what part each of you will play. Our sincerest hope is that you will always look upon Washington as a home—a place where you will be welcomed whenever you may re- turn. You may be sure we shall be watching and following you with interest. OFFICG STAFF We of Washington High School regret the loss of Miss Dorothy Dowd. She left us at the beginning of the term for another position. Mrs. Ashcraft has taken over her duties and she and Miss Sykes have worked faithfully through- out the term. The Class of January '43 wishes to thank you. Miss Sykes and Mrs. Ash- craft, and we hereby dedicate this page to you. FACULTY MISS ARMITAGE Latin MR. BOUCK Biology MISS BROWN English MRS. BUSEK English MISS CAMPBELL Biology MISS COMSTOCK Latin and English MRS. MEYERS Retail Selling MISS BARBER MISS BEACH English Math MR. BOGARD Band and Orchestra Under the theme Our School ' nothing should be given higher ap- preciation than the work of the fac- ulty. To them we owe the greatest debt of all. They have taught us not only the knowledge we will need in life, but in the four years we have been here have shown us how to live as good citizens and individuals in the social scheme. This work, re- quiring the utmost skill, tolerance and, above all, patience, is the won- derful one of molding young minds and characters into leaders who will direct this nation in its struggle out of the chaos of war. A teacher's education is never finished. Not only does he constant- ly attend classes and lectures, but he obtains the main part of his train- ing from experience. He has to be able to apply what he observes and learns from the experiences of others in the profession. The teaching MRS. COOK MISS CREWDSON MRS. CURRIER Spanish Latin History schedule is never the same from year to year, and the faculty is forced to adjust itself to constantly changing conditions. This term the courses had to be altered somewhat to fit the lengthened class periods, and the next term a still different program is to be used. A teacher's job is not an easy one, but it is most certainly an important and satisfy- ing one. This is the last term in which classes have been carried on in much the same manner as in the past few years. Next term will be different. Every course will be changed to comply with the new war preparation program. One most instructive and useful course is the English program of- fered at Washington High School. This department is considered one of the best in Portland and is taught by an outstanding teaching staff. It MRS. DUNCAN Shorthand and Typing MR. EXLEY Physical Education and Health MRS. FINNIGAN English MISS GEBALLE Chemistry MISS GRANBERG Typing MISS GRANT Math MISS GRAVES English MISS HAYS English MR. HEDRICK MISS HOBBS English Typing is almost unbelievable to look back, as seniors, on all we have covered in this extensive course. Very im- portant are the fundamentals of composition and speech taught, and no less so are the classes in maga- zine and movie appreciation and the study of English and American literature. These classes give us a knowledge of the classics and au- thors that will help us a great deal later on. Under the English department come the interesting extra-curricu- lar courses of Journalism and Oral English. The journalism classes this year have taken over a great deal of the reporting for the Washing- tonian and have done a fine job. The oral English and public speak- ing classes have been very helpful to many students by giving them self confidence and voice training. The History course in Washington MISS KpHNS MISS LANCEFIELD MISS LANGILLE MISS MqcLEAN English Library History English and Health High is well-equipped and the re- quired two years cover the complete history and government of our na- tion. It gives a background for our country's history, makes significant the events of the past and shows the relation these facts have to our pres- ent conditions. More and more stress has been placed in the past year upon the future problems of the na- tion and, by discussing and arguing these points, the students gain a thorough knowledge of the cog- wheels of the government. One of the most needed and significant courses of this present day is Mathematics. Boys especi- ally need the knowledge taught by our competent faculty to enter into many phases of industry or the armed forces. Proof of this is the ex- tra stress placed upon these classes in next year's program for both girls and boys. MR. MAIN Math MR. MATSON English MISS MOORE Glee MISS MURPHY Physical Education and Health MR. NICHOLSON Bookkoeping MISS OBERG Biology MRS. PECK MISS PLYMPTON MRS. PROEBSTEL Spanish English Math Just as important in this world of war is knowledge of the sciences. These courses are the basis for fu- ture study in medicine, radio, elec- tricity, and many other important professions. These are four science courses taught at Washington; Gen- eral Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Next in the academic line come the foreign languages. First is Latin, which is a foundation for almost any other language a student could wish to study; then French, and lastly, Spanish, which becomes more im- portant each day as we unite more closely with our Latin American al- lies. Much needed now are trained stenographers and typists to help in the present labor shortage, and what could be better, for a student not planning on college, to take MRS. SEE History A these courses from highly trained teachers while still in high school. Not only this but a very extensive course in bookkeeping is taught, for the benefit of future business men and women. Many boys are inter- ested in the Manual Training which is offered in well equipped work- rooms at Washington, and others appreciate the popular course in Mechanical Drawing. Special courses, aside from acad- emic study, are indispensable in giv- ing the student a well rounded edu- cation. Included in these are the music courses, sewing, cooking, art classes, library and athletics. We thank our faculty for all that they have done for us in the past four years and we hope that we can do justice to them by following the high ideals they have set up for us and by becoming good citizens.

BILL SILLS Christiansen The Executive Committee presided with considerable interference this term, but we of the committee were surprised ourselves by accomplishing all and more than we thought possible. Our meetings were of necessity held before school where our somewhat less amount of business was attended to. The Executive Committee presented several dances to the Student Body, which were all successes. Also, needless to say, Mr. Smith's cooperation and assistance in all our activities were invaluable and we wish to express our sincere gratitude to him for all he did. In our contest with Franklin to sell the most Student Body cards by a cer- tain date, Franklin reached the 100 per cent mark first, but with our Wash- ington spirit, we came in immediately after with 100 per cent also, the first time that we have ever reached that record. Our contest with Lincoln to sell the most tickets at the Inter-School Dance came out without a doubt victori- ous for us, and would have been victorious with anyone, since we had more couples there than any other school represented. Our bond drive is coming along very well at the last report and We will undoubtedly pass the S50.000 mark by June. Because of the lack of opportunities to show the students how the Student Body government was conducted, many people were unaware of many of the activities of the Executive Committee, much less who the members were. However, we feel that we did all in our power to make the past term a suc- cessful one. sgrvicg commnrees FIRST ROW: Pat Hanley, Joan Apploget, Margaret Proppe. Dona Chapman. Jean Decker.

The theme of the week was “Say It With Music.'' Under the cap- able leadership of Barbara Hood, President, each day's program went smoothly. Since our object this term was service to our country as well as to our school, sums of money were given to several war agencies. Twenty-five dollars went to the Red Cross. S25.00 to China Relief and S50.00 to other worthy causes pertaining to the war effort. The making of fifty ditty bags for soldiers was another of our accomplishments. We owe a vote of thanks to the officers and girls who helped make this term one of our most successful. SHIPLEY KNOUFF MURPHY BLINCO OLIVER STUDem counciL FIRST ROW: Doris Spearow. Ted James.

An important activity of the term was Good Book Week which promoted an unusual interest in good literature. Another activity was the Locker Search in which lost and over due books were recovered and penalties were inflicted. The Student Council is composed of the members of Presidents of major clubs. Senior Classes, the Girls' League, and the Student Body Association. Other members are the Editors of the Washingtonian and the Lens and two members at large. This organization was originated in 1925 by Miss Lance- field to prevent the loss of books and to explain and enforce library regula- tions. Room LivcmiRCS FIRST ROW: Doris Friberg. Evelyn Tontz.

If it were peace- time, most of us would be looking forward to furthering our education in some institution of higher learning, but since our country is at war. we must postpone our plans and do our part in winning the victory. In this war of wars, both men and women have found places to be of service to their country. From my personal acquaintance and association with the members of this class, I know that each and everyone will do his level best to serve his country in the manner that our government deems best. After a final glorious victory, let us hope and pray that everyone of us will return to the life of liberty and freedom that we have always known, and be free to pursue the future to which we had always looked forward. We would like to thank our advisors, Mrs. Finnegan and Mr. Bouck, for the splendid work they have done guiding us through four glorious years. We would also like to thank the faculty for the time and patience they have devoted to us so that we might receive the best possible education at Washington High School. To the students who remain behind, we wish the best of luck and happiness. We know they will carry on their duties at Washington to the best of their ability. CLASS ADVISORS MRS. FINNIGAN MR. 80UCK The success of any organization always depends upon the advice given them by a person more objective. The organization itself is apt to act upon impulses, rather than to think a thing out clearly. Thus it is with our class. We were lucky to have Mrs. Finnigan and Mr. Bouck as class advisors. They have given up their time freely to solve our many problems and have been greatly interested in all our activities. We extend our sincere appreciation to these two for their untiring efforts in aiding us, and we hope that each following class may have advisors as wonderful as ours. semoRS CONNIE ARNOLD. Gonoral.

ACTIVITY CUP CHRISTIANSEN SPEAROW One of Washington High School's most treasured traditions is that of en- graving the name of the outstanding Senior boy and girl on the Activity Cup. Judges, consisting of Miss Ohmert, Mr. Smith, Mr. Windnagle, Mrs. Finnegan. Mr. Bouck. and the Executive Committee, having considered the candidates upon the merits of activities, scholarship, responsibility, courtesy, personality, and cooperation, have selected Doris Spearow and Elvin Christiansen as this year's deserving winners. On the Washingtonian staff, Doris Spearow has more than proved that a pretty editor can also be efficient. Because of her capabilities, she was elected Vice-President of the Oregon High School Press Association, Program Chair- man and Treasurer of Phreno and Editor of Gulick. Other activities in which Doris participated were: third term Girls' League Princess, Livewire, Secretary of Cabinet, a member of the Student Council and Ex- ecutive Committee, seventh term tea, sixth term party, assistant yell leader, senior prom chair- man, co-chairman of the pin com- mittee, Usher for the June '42 class, and many assemblies. As President of the Student Body, a member of Hi-Y, Pack, and the fire squad. Christy is a favorite among his classmates. He was the Freshie King. Editor of Stratagos, chairman of the class pin committee, a livewire, a member of the cafeteria board. President of Cabinet, Secretary of the Student Council, on the Inter- School Council and in many as- semblies. He also took active parts in the Freshie Frolic, sixth term party and Midsummer Night's Dream. Christy was an all-round sports- man, participating in track, bas- ketball and football. In fact, he made one letter in basketball and two in football. SeniOR SCHOLARSHIP JOHANNSEN KENNEDY CAMPBELL GATEWOOD It has been the custom of the Student Body since 1929 to make awards to students who attained a high degree of scholarship. The January '43 class numbers among its members four students who have received one or more of these awards. These scholarship pins are given only to persons earning at least a one average in three major subjects, with no other grade below a “two. The first pin is characterized by one bar, the second pin by two bars, the third by three, and so forth. The metal in the pin differs for each year; bronze is used for the first year, nickel for the second, silver for the third, and gold for the fourth. Special recognition should go to Paul Campbell, who, graduating in seven terms, has received five scholarship pins. Robert Johannsen, an eighth term senior, has also received five pins. Dean Gatewood, a graduating seventh termer, and Joyce Kennedy have each received one pin. It is hoped the outstanding achievement of these students will be con- tinued throughout college and in later life. JAIUJARY '43 CLASS HISTORY It was a bashful and humble group of Freshies who entered the portals of Washington High School during the cold, bleak weather of January, 1939. However, after that grand and glorious Frolic given us by the graduating Seniors, in which two darling and deserving Freshies, namely, Winifred Sanders and Elvin Christensen, were elected as Freshie Queen and King, we felt more at home in this huge building. As Sophomores, we felt definitely educated to the ways of the world and enjoyed ourselves immensely by looking down upon those poor, ignorant Freshies. Social life became secondary after this event until our sixth term party. Beverly Lundstrom and Dick Muir were in charge of it and it was due largely to them and to their various committees that everyone had a wonderful time. The class soon met again—this time to organize. Dick Muir became our popular President; Evelyn Tontz was elected Vice-President; Roberta Garth, Secretary; Ted James, Treasurer; Bill Sills, Sergeant-at-Arms; Gene Webber, Editor of the Lens and Robert Johannsen, Business Manager of the Lens. Traditionally, during the seventh term, all new girls in school were guests at a seventh term tea. Evelyn Tontz was in charge. After successfully passing scholastic and social hurdles, we emerged Seniors. Now we got the privilege seats in assembly. Let others scramble for less desirable vantage points. We had attained the heights. In our first important meeting, under the leadership of our Editor. Gene Webber, the Lens staff decided the colors and theme of this, the January, 1943 Lens. As graduating Seniors, we honored the graduating class of June, 1946 with a fun-loaded Freshie Frolic, under Jean Truitt's responsibility, and she discharged it very well. The Freshie Queen elected was Carol Chambers and the Freshie King elected was Dick Parker. Because of the war, we had several disappointments. We were informed that it wouldn't be advisable to try to give a Class Play; so we put all our energy into a long remembered Senior Assembly, which was under the cap- able direction of Stan Veltman. At last the week of graduation arrived. On January 17, Chaplain Beard gave us an inspiring message at the Baccalaureate Services held in the Mt. Tabor Presbyterian Church. Then—graduation! It was Thursday, January 22 that we donned our caps and gowns for the last time and marched down the aisle to receive our diplomas. In the Sunken Ballroom of the Masonic Hall, with soft lights- dreamy music, and flowing formals. we were all together once more. That was our prom— probably the most cherished memory of our entire high school career and a fitting finale to the four years at Washington High School. The graduating class of January 1943 is leaving. Many of the boys will soon be in the armed forces of Uncle Sam. In pride and humility we salute those boys. May God bless you and help you speedily to return.

Jean Truitt Evelyn Tontz FRGSHIC FROLIC This term a Senior Class of seventy-five members welcomed a Freshman Class of almost four hundred. This was not an easy task; but with Jean Truitt as able director, and mistress of ceremonies, it was a complete success. The Freshie Queen, Carol Chambers and Freshie King, Dick Parker, were chosen by the judges, Elvin Christensen, Winifred Sanders, Pat Lynch and Dick Muir. The King and Queen were crowned by Winifred Sanders and Elvin Christensen, the King and Queen of the January '43 Class. Dixie cups were served at the door as the happy freshies and superior seniors left the successful Freshie Frolic. ALL-SCHOOL PLAY Because the graduating class had only seventy members, the Class Play had to be omitted as there was too much work to be done. In its place, Mr. Matson produced Stage Door, one of the best plays ever put on by high school pupils. The audience was completely interested in the play and did not once have to force itself to attention. Betty Emholz, as Terry, gave a wonderful performance with the help of Bud Curtner as David Kingsley. Other excellent characterizations were Bob Miller as Keith Berges; Janet Vester as Jean Maitland and Jean Truitt as Judith Canfield. Equally important players were Marla Knauss, Pat King, Laurabelle Gardner, Marie Mitchell, Martha Yost, Pat Powell, Shirley Viethauer, Ariadne Hoffman, Frances Barta, Priscilla Alden, Peggy Weakland, Kay Murphy, Evelyn Hontzman, Georgia Leupold, Beth Shipley, Nathan Heath, Bill Sher- man, Eugene McClelland, Bruce Wight- man, Jack Anderson, Mary Smart, Nancy Tausman, Donna Richards, Bob Faber, Jack Griffith, and Duane Piazza. The cast wishes to thank the business manager, Nancy Hoaks and her staff, the stage crew, property manager, make-up artist, Mrs. Cecil Matson, and the promotion and publicity staff. In this play Mr. Matson used the larg- est cast he has ever used in a high school production. In spite of the fact that the number was almost too many to direct. Mr. Matson succeeded in pro- ducing a highly successful comedy. CLUB Pins COLONIALS NEAKAHNIE PHRENO DOMINO EL LEON L'AMITIE MASQUE ORDO ROMAE KRENEON PACK ROSCIUS HERMION V .

Domino can really claim that the Fall '42 term will long be remembered as an outstanding one in the history of the club's progress and service. The energy and efficiency of the officers under the leadership of the President. Dick Morton, will remain as a goal for the succeeding membership to emulate. The apex of the term's activities was the sponsorship of the Salvage Drive, through which approximately one hundred and thirty tons were ag- gregated to further the war effort. This was accomplished by close coopera- tion between the Student Body, the School Administration, and all the major clubs. The honor we received in this event was the award of second place in the city-wide drive. The club wishes to express its appreciation to Mr. Main, our new advisor, who has helped us greatly.

During the month of October, El Leon had two social meetings which turned out very successfully. The second meeting was held with L'Amitie and, from reports of members from both clubs, everyone had a grand time. Mrs. Peck has admired the way in which the Spanish paper, El Reverbero, has been handled this term. We wish to thank Eva Ann Rydalch, the editor, for all the splendid work she has done, and the complete staff of writers and typists who cooperated so wonderfully for the success of this publication. This term, more than ever before, El Leon has tended to further the speaking of Spanish. The understanding of the Spanish language and customs is im- portant in aiding our Latin-American neighbors who are playing such an im- portant part in this war. FIRST ROW: Mr. Hedrick, Don Mills.

The outstanding social event was the barn dance held on Hallowe'en in Dick Muir's bam. It was acclaimed as the best Hi-Y party in many years. The annual Thanksgiving service at the City Auditorium, sponsored by the Hi-Ys of all the schools, was more important than ever in this critical period of world history. One of the largest gatherings in the history of this service was present, and it will be long remembered by all who attended. We wish to thank Mr. Otto for becoming our advisor as he has really been a great help to us. We regret the loss of Lt. Cal Clements, who has been our advisor for the past eight years and we know he will make a fine naval officer. This year Hi-Y is losing by graduation the following members: Elvin Chris- tensen, Bill Cobb, Ted James. Dick Muir, Bill Sills, Bob Smith and Stan Velt- man. We regret to say goodbye to them, but we hope that they will be very successful in the future. imeRnfiTioimL FIRST ROW: Mrs. Wells. Elizabeth Trump. Mary Rink. Franklin Scott. Ed Krause.

Among the highlights of the term was the initiation at the home of Alma Lee Stewart. The outstanding social event was the entertaining of the St. Helen's Hall International Club.

The first social activity of the term was an impressive formal initiation, at which eleven new girls, amidst the flickering candle-light, realized the signi- ficance of the background of this creative-writing club as they recited the Isto creed. Isto's annual all-school short story contest was held with ten dollars in war stamps given as first prize and five dollars in war stamps as second prize. Many members of the Student Body participated in the contest, resulting in a very successful venture.

The activities of Kappa Alpha Gamma for this term consisted, first, of a candy sale in which all the members assisted. This proved to be very suc- cessful. Later, for the benefit of all those interested, we presented an educa- tional film entitled The Origin of Mathematics. Because the Senior Math Club has disbanded, plans were made to allow anyone of the eight terms to join our club.

Since we are not sure that the club will be continued after this term, it was decided that we should have a full page in the Lens instead of the half page which we have usually had. The main social event of the season was a joint Hallowe'en party with El Leon. L'Amitie acted as the host, and the party was held at the home of Nancy Nell Hoak. Several alumni were present and the party had two soldiers and a sailor as honor guests. Everyone enjoyed it immensely. We hope that our small part in the war effort was really a help and wish there were more we could have done. mflSQue FIRST ROW: Miss Kaser. Joyce Kennedy, Janet Vester, Margaret Proppe, Beth Shipley.

This was combined with a joint meeting of Hi-Ki-Ki, a Franklin girls' club. This term we have tried to tie in the purpose of our club with some of our activities. Ruth Baumer, program chairman, used much imagination and initiative in this undertaking. At the close of the term our traditional tea for the installation of officers was held and we extended the following girls congratulations on their gradua- tion: Ruth Baumer, Margaret Cook, Janet Ellstrom, Doris Friberg, Roberta Garth, Beverly Lundstrom and Lucille Oliver.

Ordo Romae's first project was a great success. A benefit was held with all proceeds going to the United War Chest and the Red Cross. In this case, we participated in the school campaign to equip First Aid kits. This term Ordo Romae welcome eighteen fine, cooperative new members. They were initiated at the home of Rod Gillespie in the second week of No- vember. According to our custom of having an annual banquet at a foreign restau- rant, a Russian banquet was held at the Samovar. It was unquestionably the gala event of the winter season.

During the big scrap drive Pack was responsible for many a pound of the vital metal. Although this term was not as colorful as usual, fellowship and a good time was had by all members. Under the supervision of our new advisor, Mr. Tolvstad, Pack should grow even stronger and better in future terms. The only regret, of this term, is the loss of the graduating members. They are as follows: Elvin Christensen, Ted James, Dick Muir, Chuck Dietz, Bill Sills and Stan Veltman. PHRCnO FIRST ROW: Shirley Karau, Nancy Base. Betty Imholz. Doris Spearow. Alicia Lang.

After the plays were over, members trooped backstage to glean bits of helps and hints from the actors, props, and scenery. You certainly have heard of the all-school play! The members of Roscius who helped make it a success were Bud Curtner, Priscilla Alden, Patricia King, Georgia Leupold, Bruce Wrightman, Duane Piazza, and Dick Pollock. Roscius gives much of the credit for its success to the faithful President, Bud Curtner. and to its advisor, Mr. Matson. The new members inducted this term were Evelyn Allen, Patricia King.

Students shown working on planes are Morris Petersen [left] and Bill Walker. The models are made to scale and at 25 feet look like real planes at a half-mile. Lens ADVISORS MR. GREEN MISS OBERG MISS YAGER Proper supervision is the most important factor necessary to any endeavor. The Lens is proud to have three advisors who have contributed to the final success of this issue. The greatest problem that confronts a new Lens staff is that of finance. It is indeed fortunate that the financial ad- visor is a man whose able advice and steady hand in money matters has guided the Lens through many a successful year. To Mr. Green, we wish to express our appreciation for his never failing help and expert advice. Miss Oberg, our English advisor, has undertaken the cor- rection of the editorial copy, a task vital to the success of this class publication. Her wise counsel has been responsible for clearness of thought and expression. To her we bestow our thanks in acknowledgment of her time and effort. Artistic arrangement and design in cover and illustrations are of utmost importance in producing an attractive Lens. To Miss Yager, our capable art advisor, we extend sincere grati- tude for her ability and patience in helping to solve the many difficult problems of plan and lay out.

Gene Webber, and his able staff, have tried to make the Lens different from that of previous years. In comparing this Lens with those of the past, it is evident that they have succeeded. The staff wishes to offer its sincerest appreciation to Logan and Markham, class photographers; Mr. Stevens, Lens photographer; Messrs. Bernard and Clifford Bridges the printers; and Mr. Peterson, the engraver, for their com- plete cooperation and advice. The staff also wishes to thank the organiza- tions which placed their advertisements in the January '43 Lens. Miss Yager, art supervisor, should certainly be thanked for her help, and also Mr. Green and Miss Oberg, financial and literary advisors. Without these people the Lens could not have been successful.

CAROL FREESE Club Manager..........................RAY HAYDEN The Editorial Staff may work as hard as it wishes, but without the help of the Business Manager, Robert Johannsen, and his staff, the Lens would not come out. They have worked hard to secure advertisements, with which to finance the publication. Robert has kept the Livewires on their toes in collecting the necessary money from the many subscribers. This year, because of the rise in prices, it was necessary to raise the price of the Lens, but the Livewires, undaunted, kept right on plugging and secured as many subscriptions as Livewires in former years. Now the Business Staff wishes to sincerely thank their business advisor, Mr. Green, whose steady hand in financial matters, helped them through a successful term.

SPEAROW SCHIEWE Under the capable leadership of Doris Spearow, editor, the Washingtonian enjoyed one of its most successful terms. The character of the paper has im- proved as a result of the application by the staff of rules learned in the journ- nalism class. The staff wishes to thank Miss Tillson, Journalism teacher, Mr. Lindley and the Journalism class for their kind help in making this improve- ment possible. In mid-term, a contest was staged for the reporters. Prizes were given to those who contributed the most material to the paper. Frances Carlson won the contest. Through the hard work of various members of the staff, two special issues were produced this term, a War Bond issue and a Christmas issue. ujflSHinGTonifln Business staff FIRST ROW: Mrs. Duncan.

FRANCES CARLSON These students are the members of the Student Body who, this past term, have published for you the school paper. The Washingtonian. They have worked hard to produce a paper of which we can be justly proud. Individually, they have been given assignments and have produced re- sults. The paper, editorially and financially, has grown. For hard work and good work—we, the Student Body of Washington High School, thank you and congratulate you, members of the Washingtonian staff. Jim Sampson, who took over the position as business manager during the term, has taken the responsibility in a thorough and efficient manner. He has organized his staff and produced results. He deserves much credit for fine and successful work. This term the staff has had as business advisor, Mrs. Bernice Duncan, who has given her advice and support enthusiastically. She has been responsible for definite improvements made in making the paper a self-supporting pub- lication. During part of the term the staff has had the excellent advice of E. S. Lindley, one of the Washington Dad's who has had much valuable experience in business and journalism. COflCHGS MR. HATTON MR. EXLEY MR. NICHOLSON MR. HATTON This will be the last term at Washington for the young fellow who is af- fectionately considered One of da boy's. Yes, Uncle Sam's Navy is claim- ing Hal Hatton, one of the best all-round coaches Washington has ever had. Mr. Hatton attended high school at Pendleton where he also won 12 letters in major sports. Enrolled at the University of Oregon, he starred in football, basketball, track, and especially swimming. Previous coaching positions in- clude the schools at Hermiston and Coquille, Oregon. All the Senior Class can say, Hal, is to wish you good luck in your new job of coaching us guys to lick those Japs. We hope some of us can be shipmates with you. MR. EXLEY Washington High School was indeed fortunate to snatch up football and baseball coach, Gerald Exley, from Benson Polytechnic in the coaching trans- fers a few years ago. Through his untiring energy we are again climbing that hard road to Athletic Mt., where Washington High's flag waved supreme in the 20's and early 30’s. M. Exley attended Coquille High School from 1920 to 1924, where he earned the mere total of 14 letters. [Seniors will please take note that he graduated in four years, showing that some people can do it.] At Washington State College, he set records in track and participated in all major sports. At Ritzville and Toppenish, Washington, our coach produced championship baseball and basketball teams. In the seasons to come. Coach Exley hopes to turn up some hidden talent from the Victory Corps program to be inaugurated. Mr. F. W. Ager is the present basketball coach. MR. NICHOLSON “Nic did it again! was the cry that echoed among Portland athletic circles when track coach. Miller Nicholson, brought home the bacon, consisting of the cross country championship, to Washington for the third time. He gradu- ated from Franklin High School with awards in nearly all sports and at Ore- gon State College- he again engaged in many activities. After college, Mr. Nicholson obtained his Masters' degree in Education at the University of Oregon. Among his many other high school coaching jobs, were his famous championship teams at Bend, Oregon. The Senior Class hopes you will get those bigger and better turnouts you have been wishing for, Nic. FOOTBALL 5d. Moo Thomas: END.

He will be gone next season. lc. Bob Hastings: TACKLE. Bol quite a bit and will be mis year because oi his kicking MARSHFIELD 7b. Sholton Sossions: END. Sholton is a fast end and a good pass re- ceiver who will be an asset to the team next term. 6a. Jim Cowan: END. Jim lacked the experience, but will undoubtedly prove himself with the experience he gained this year. Marshfield High squeezed out a hard earned win over a fighting Colonial squad on Gold Field, at Marshfield, September 18. This game was a test for the Maroon and Gold squad. It did very well considering the fact that there were only 22 on the football squad and being plagued in the first quarter with injuries. Marshfield got the edge in the first quarter with a 7-0 score which was unchanged throughout the game. ROOSEVELT Washington won the toss and kicked the ball to the Roosevelt 15, where the Teddies were promptly bottled up. Roosevelt kicked to Washington 12, and the Colonials started a march which ended on the Roosevelt 5, as the quarter ended. In the first play of the second quarter, Roosevelt was forced to kick but Parker and the whole center of the Washington line rushed through and tackled their man behind the goal for 2 points, which was enough to win the game 2-0. COMMERCE Showing a strong offense and capable defense, the mighty Colonials pushed Commerce around the field, with the final score of 24-0. Two touch- downs were made by Stoinoff, one by Barrett, and the other by Gronvold. Toward the end of the game. Coach Exley put in his 2nd and 3rd strings, who held a strong offense. FOOTBALL 4a. Frank McCrumb: TACKLE. Frank gained much valuable experience and speed which will aid him next term. 7d. Jim Dunlap: CENTER. Jim was a greatly improved playor and a sub that could always be countod upon. 6d. Eugene Piazza: END. Eugene is a boy who roally plays “heads up football, but due to a lack of ex- perience, he didn't make the first string, but will be a valuable asset tc next yoar's varsity. 8c. John Schetky: CENTER. John was an accurate center and had power to stop plays through the center. 5a. Dick Stoinoff: QUARTERBACK. A bundle of speed and vitality was Dick, who could roally pass the old apple, and who had the drive of a locomotive. 2d. Warren Pomeroy: GUARD. Warren gained much experience for next year's varsity. 4c. Billy Bowes: MANAGER. Billy han- dled the equipment this term. He was always on time and excellent man for the job. 3a. Stanloy Neandor: END. Stanley didn’t see much action because of stif: competition. Sc. Cece Thompson: END. Cece's last year on the varsity proved him to be a valuable pass catcher and down field blocking man. 7a. Norm Cobb: HALFBACK. Norm was especially fast and shifty, being tho smallest man on the team. Graduating in June. Norm will leave a gap in the backfield that will be hard to fill. 3_. Karl Miller: GUARD. Karl has am- bition and by next year he should develop the speed for varsity play. FOOTBALL 7c. Jack Parkor: TACKLE. Jack was a fast and hard hitting tackier and a stonewall to move. He will be missed groatly next season. 2c. Orville Herndon: BACKFIELD. Or- ville didn't play much because of lack of training, but he will bo a prospoct for next year's team. 2a. Dick Wachtor: CENTER.

GRANT Washington Colonials suffered their initial defeat of the season at the hands of the men from Grant. No score was made the first half- but in the second half, the spark was set off in the Grant team. It scored three touchdowns in the third quarter and one more in the last quarter. With only a few minutes remaining, Washington made the best play of the season. Helm faded and fired a pass to Christy who started for the goal line. lust as Christy was be- ing tackled, he quickly lateraled to Cobb who wont over for the touchdown, making the final score 28-6. FRANKLIN The Quakers of Franklin were denied a score for over a quarter, but they finally began to wear through the Washington defense. Although Washing- ton did suffer its second defeat of the season. Helm, Sills, and Barrett made some thrilling passes and runs throughout the game. The game ended with the score 21-0. BENSON Because of a wet field and the fact that we lost a few major players through injuries, Washington faced a great handicap. In spite of that fact, the team held a strong offense and allowed Benson to score only once, mak- ing the score 6-0. LINCOLN The first quarter and most of the second in Washington's last game was quite evenly matched. However, just before the half, Lincoln went over for its first and only touchdown. The score was 6-0. FOOTBALL Id. Pat Howland: TACKLE. Although Pat didn't play much, ho was a real hustler. la. Dick Green: TACKLE. Because of lack of experience, Dick didn't soe much action, but he is expected to be a great asset to the team next year. lb. Dennis Johnson: FULLBACK. Den- nis was too good for the juniors, so Coach Hatton moved him up to varsity, where due to lack of ex- perience, he didn't play much but gained valuable experience for next form. 5b. Bernard P. McHugh: FULLBACK. Bernie is a one-man powor house from Washington High. He was co- captain of the team and by far the bost tackier in the city. We are especially proud of Bernio as ho war. the only representative on the All-City team. 8a. Ed Gronvold: TACKLE. Ed made All-Star and well he deserves it. Because of his superior blocking ability. Elvin Christiansen: QUARTERBACK. Due to a mid-season injury.

Mike ic o boy with the desire, but lack- ing the necessary experience. 2b. Jim Bennett: TACKLE. Jim was a hard fighter, but lacked weight and experience for much action this torm. but ho will be back next term. 3b. Craig Mayfield: 3d. Dick Muir: GUARD. As a rugged player and co-captain of the team, Dick was chosen for the All-Star squad to climax his last two sea- sons of varsity football at Washing- ton. 4b. Bob Ford: TACKLE. Because of an injury. Bob didn't play much, but was one of the most rugged of the team. TRACK In the past four years, Washington's cross country team, coached by Miller Nicholson, has won two city and northwest titles. In the first meet, Washing- ton won over Grant and Franklin, placing five out of ten. In the second meet, they won a perfect score from Lincoln and Jefferson, placing men in first, second, third, fourth and fifth positions.
