Since Ordo Romae started our Service Flag, stars have been added until now there are seven hundred and three that represent those Washingtonians who are dedicating their lives to free this world from tyranny and destruction. We look on the stars of this flag, seventeen of which are gold for those who have given their utmost, and hope that somehow in the world of tomor- row, we may do our share to make this a world more worthy of those repre- sented on our flag. QJ I DEDICATION We are being trained here in this exceptional institution to enter into life well prepared to meet its exigencies. To the graduating sen- iors the future is especially important—so important as to risk their lives for it. As to what we will have to meet in the Tomorrow one can only guess, and plan. Many astounding inventions have been cre- ated and developed during this present holocaust, but in the peace to follow these instruments of destruction will be changed to those for much better use. These will be used to better humanity and not to destroy it. It is for us the living rather to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us.” It is for our generation to make the peace a long and lasting one. It is to Tomorrow, a better Tomorrow that the January '45 class dedicates this LENS. APPRECIATION In every endeavor there are a few whose work goes without recog- nition although they have spent much time and effort. To Mr. Bridges, the printer; Mr. Peterson, the engraver; and Mr. Simon, the photogra- pher, we express our deepest appreciation. To our advisors Mr. Green, Miss Oberg, and Miss Ilgner for their invaluable help and to those countless students who have contributed so unselfishly, we offer many thanks. Without their timely advice and cheerful aid, our task would not have been so successfully completed. 0 It has been our aim during your four years at Washington High School to give you the prerequisites for a new and vital phase of your life. We have tried to do the ground work emphasizing the impor- tance of honesty, industry, integrity and fair play as well as giving you an educational background which will enable you to take your place among those with years of experience behind them. Whether we have been successful in our aim will be seen in your acceptance of your adult responsibilities, in your ability to make for yourself a well adjusted and happy life. Our highest hopes for you go with you on your way. OUT OF THE ALBUM c 3 f i-H Q ►nQ WD MR. WINDNAGLE A short time ago I heard Dr. Willard Givans, Executive Secretary ol the National Education Associa- tion, relate the following experience. On the train last week I was chatting with a returning service man. 'Believe it or not,' he said to me, 'Nine days ago, I was with my outfit on Leyte without hope of an early return. Tomorrow I will be home.' To what do you attribute the American fighters' superiority?'' I asked him. I can speak for but myself; but so it seems to me, my superiority lies in the fact that in my school in Oregon I was taught to think.' You of the January 1945 class have completed your formal high school education. The greatest accolade that could be bestowed upon your faculty would be, They taught me to think. V I c E P R I N C I P A L MISS OHMERT Our immediate tomorrow holds one supreme purpose—victory in this war. There is a tomorrow beyond that for which we are all preparing—the tomor- row after the war in a peaceful world. It is your good fortune to be among those who will have an active part in that future. The authors of The Prom- ise of Tomorrow state that It is natural that we should be worried, anxious, and confused about the present and uncertain about the future, for we are living in an age of rapid change, such as mankind has sel- dom experienced during the long centuries of human history. May the years you have spent at Wash- ington High School serve as a foun- dation upon which to build for a sane future. Our heartiest wish is that you will carry with you the spirit of Washington High School to meet the challenge which awaits you. Each day Miss Sykes and Mrs. Rice, our school secretaries, check atten- dance, write letters, and do general office work, which includes numerous jobs. These routine responsibilities occupy their time, and yet they are always will- ing to listen to our problems and to help us in every way possible. Their friendship is valued by teachers and students alike. The class of January '45 dedicates this page to you, Miss Sykes and Mrs. Rice, in appreciation for all that you have done for us during our years at Washington. Under the excellent supervision of Miss Lancefield, Washington High School's library is one of which we should all be proud. Much of our school- work is based on its use; and each study period during the day and also before and after school, students use its many books and other fine reference material. Each term new volumes are added to our library. This term a number of new ones have been received, including plays and war books. The January '45 Class wishes to thank you, Miss Lancefield, for the help you have given them, and for your efforts which have kept our library well above the average. FACULTY A school cannot be judged by the building it occupies or the location on which it rests. It can only be judged by those who teach in it, and those who are taught. In this critical period of wartime where education is being stressed more and more, the demand for good teaching grows. Washington High School can be proud and thankful that it has such a fine staff of instructors to mould the minds of its students and to send them in the right direction. Our teachers have always given freely of their time to help any person who may be in doubt, or to further instruct those who are especially interested in any field. A sound education is the basis for a sound democracy, and we can only get such an education through competent, intelligent teaching. This is the kind of training that we are given at our school. Washington High's teachers are shaping our future lives, and they are shaping them well. The January '45 Class wishes to express to the Faculty our deepest gratitude and wishes you the best of luck after we are gone. MRS.

Needless to say, Mr. Smith's and Mr. Windnagle's assistance in all planning and business, was, indeed, an invaluable asset and the committee wishes to express its thanks to them. The main activity of the term was the planning of the War Bond Drive. The slogan was A Bond a Student ; and under the supervision of Chairman Dorothy DeVeny, the drive was very successful. Washington upheld its fine spirit in the Student Body membership contest with Franklin and Lincoln. Reaching one hundred per cent first, Washington was given a dance by Franklin and a talent assembly by Lincoln. Noon movies have been shown in the auditorium and noon dances were held in the Hawthorne basement on rainy days. There was one free student body dance this term. All in all, the term was a complete success, due not only to the co-opera- tion our president received from the executive staff but from the entire student body.

V kit MR. TOLVSTAD Much of the success of the January '45 class is due to the help and guidance of the class advisors. We have been very fortunate in having Miss Beach and Mr. Tolvstad for advisors. Had it not been for their timely advice, many of our senior enterprises would have been failures. Many of us are indebted to them for their per- sonal guidance in trying to form a proper plan for our future. We sincerely hope that we have lived up to the high standard that they have set for us. We, the graduating class of January 1945, wish to thank Miss Beach and Mr. Tolvstad for their friendly and wise guidance and can only hope that future graduating classes will be as fortunate in their choice of advisors. coco trHQ SENIOR PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION On the evening of January 19, 1945, we members of the senior class will re- ceive our diplomas in the Washington High School auditorium. After four years, very short years to say the least, we will receive what seemed so dis- tant when we were freshmen. But this diploma is not the only thing that we have gained in our short careers at Washington. 'We have gained the happiest four years of our lives. We also have gained the happy and delightful memories of our school life; friends, some of whom will be lifelong; the mental and physical development that have been so well guided by a sympathetic and understanding faculty. During the course of our time in this school, we have had innumerable experiences that will remain with us for a long, long time. Some of these ex- periences have been joyful and humorous ones, and others have been difficult, unhappy ones. Through these experiences, and the way we have handled them, we have acquired a solid background that will undoubtedly help us in later life. In a way, Washington has been, to each one of us, a sort of person- al testing ground on which to try out newly developed and new-found powers. But on the evening of our commencement, we will be standing on the threshold of a new kind of world, a world that is strange and foreign to us; a world that is in the midst of a terrible global war. This new world will be another type of testing ground, only on a more vast scale than were our Washington days. The war challenges us to test our new-found powers and knowledge. In this war, and in the peace that follows, a great responsibility will fall upon the shoulders of the young people of this nation. This responsibility will come in the form of a request; a request that we protect and use sensibly the peace that our nation is so expensively buying with the lives of our young men. I am sure that our class looks forward to its part in this great responsibility with great confidence. To our friends that we will leave behind in Washington, we, the January '45 class, wish the best of luck in carrying on the affairs of the school.

ZUMWALT VESTER A C T I V I T Y C U P The most treasured tradition of Washington High School, is the awarding of the Activity Cup to the outstanding senior boy and girl. This year Mr. Smith, Mr. Windnagle, Miss Ohmert, Miss Beach, Mr. Tolvstad and the Execu- tive Committee once more based their selection upon scholarship, school activ- ities, cooperation, personality, courtesy, responsibility, and outside activities. It will be with extreme pride and honor that their names will be inscribed upon this beautiful silver cup which is a symbol of their success. Ed Zumwalt is without a doubt the outstanding boy of his class and has shown himself to be worthy of the highest praise. As president of the Senior Class, he has won the acclaim of his fellow class-mates, and has led them through a very successful Senior year. His other activities include vice-presi- dent of Euk, Hi-Y, Washingtonian Editorial Staff, Yell Leader, Fire Squad, Baseball Manager and Junior Football. Ed's pleasing personality, true friend- liness and sincere courtesy have been rewarded by the admiration of all students. He possesses a fine sense of responsibility and co-opera- tion which are equaled seldom. Janet Vester, the girl chosen as best exemplifying the ideal senior, has devoted her efforts to many fields. In starting her school career, she was first term representative of the Girls' League. Later, Janet was third term representative of the Ex- ecutive Committee. She has been very active in school clubs being a member of Masque, Ataya, and a charter member of Cleves. In Girls' League, she climbed to the top, serv- ing as secretary, vice-president, and president. In her senior term, she devoted much time to the Lens as picture editor, and served as secre- tary of the student body. In the field of scholarship, Janet maintained a high average and was on the senior honor roll. ACTIVITY CUP WILBUR K. HOOD JOHN ALDEN DRAMATIC AWARD SCHOLARSHIP TROPHY WILBUR K. HOOD SCHOLARSHIP TROPHY Washington High School has long ranked high scholastically among the other schools of Portland—many of its graduates have received scholarships to important universities. But, since its founding in 1906, Washington has not had any tangible reward for its senior honor students. This term, because of the interest of Mr. Wilbur Hood, a Washington High Dad, the most scholas- tically outstanding senior boy and girl will have their names engraved on this new cup. In order to receive this award, a student must not only have nearly straight one grades, but must be socially well balanced and of inde- pendent mind. The winners will be announced, together with the winner of the John Alden Cup, at the commencement exercises. JOHN ALDEN DRAMATIC AWARD To preserve the memory of their classmate, John Alden, and the many things he had done for this school, the members of the June '42 class pre- sented this cup to Washington High School, to be awarded to one boy or girl in each graduating class who has been outstanding in the field of dra- matics at Washington. This year the Freshie Frolic, given each term by the graduating Seniors for the new Freshies, was given the afternoon of October 5 in the school audi- torium. As always a Freshie King and Queen were chosen. This term they were Ioann Nelson and Dave Alexander. Entertainment was provided by Freshies and Seniors alike with Herb Frey and Bill Berleman acting as masters-of-ceremonies. Participating were Thora Lee, Don Bean, Walton Cannon, Wayne Alley, Ester Russell, Alicia Lang, Nannette Prestwood, Franna McHenry, Dot Treadwell, Nancy Base, Kate Delistraty, Betty Lindley, Ed Zumwalt, Fred Young, Evelyn Greene, Nancy Lausmann, Carol Grabovac, Beria Bruce, and Bob Spencer. At the conclusion of the program dixie cups were served by the seniors. Swing Fever,” the January '45 class play, was presented in the school auditorium the evenings of December 8 and 9. Due to the diligent efforts of the entire cast and the untiring coaching of Mrs. Bernice Duncan, the play was acclaimed a success. The eternal triangle was played by Evelyn Greene, Fred Young, and Lois Reimers, who were very good in their roles. Peggy Randall and Gert Arnstein were cast as the hero's parents; Dorothy DeVeny and Donna Richards, his sis- ters; Lee Hoffman the brother; and Ray Howden the grandfather. Carolyn Saddler, Nancy St. Clair, Nancy Lausmann, Bob Gesley and Herb Kariel also played in supporting roles. JUNE '45 CLASS OFFICERS BOB HOLLAND . ROSEMARY CRANE JEAN MERRIFIELD ROSEMARIE SEE .

WHS1 HJLN3A3S FIFTH TERM SECOND TERM FIRST TERM ACTIVITY S i , MR.GREEN MISS OBERG MISS ILGNER LENS ADVISORS Without advisors the Lens staff would be at a complete loss. Therefore, we of the January '45 Lens staff feel that a great deal of the credit for this publication should go to Mr. Green, Miss Oberg, and Miss Ilgner. To Mr. Green falls the task of keeping our financial affairs in order, and this is truly a task worth recognition. He guided us along a rather uncertain path until we had gained enough knowledge to carry on with frequent advice. To you, Mr. Green, we extend our sincerest appreciation. Perhaps the dullest work to be done in preparing a year book for the printer is the copy reading. Miss Oberg has spent many tedious hours at this job and her efforts are greatly appreciated by all who read the Lens. To make this year book the fine publication it is, Miss Ilgner has spent many weeks perfecting the art work. We are extremely fortunate to have Miss Ilgner's new and original ideas, and to her we express our many thanks for the beauty of the January '45 Lens.

He was given a great deal of help from Kate Delistraty. Through the co-operation which has been received from the staff and their advisors, they have put out a Lens of v hich they are very proud and which truly lives up to the standards of the past and sets a high goal for the Lens of the future.

The business staff is an important part of any publication. This term our business manager, Kate Delistraty, and assistant business manager, Alicia Lang, contributed much of their time toward making this Lens a success. Through their efforts exceptionally fine financial support was obtained. Due to the splendid work of the livewires a large number of subscriptions was secured. Another group on the staff, the ad solicitors, also deserve much credit. We wish to thank Mr. Green, our financial advisor, and Mr. Bridges, the printer, for their advice and untiring efforts, without which the high standard of this Lens could not have been achieved. 1st row: Miss Kohns, Kate Delistraty.

Under the excellent leadership of editor Norma Kinloch and aided by a splendid editorial staff, weekly issues of the Washingtonian were continued through the present term, with each issue presenting an up-to-date stream- lined make-up. One of the outstanding features was the announcement of the visit to our school of the Quiz Kids, which we scooped over local news- papers. The Navy Day issue featured pictures of sailors from W. H. S. forming the V for victory symbol on the front page. Other special issues were those of Armistice and Pearl Harbor days. Published by the journalism two class, assisted by the journalism one class, the paper maintained a well-balanced and interesting series of editor- ials, features, sports and current school news. Miss Gwen Kohns, journalism teacher and advisor to the Washingtonian, is due special thanks for encour- agement and invaluable assistance.

With several others who were active, especially Janet Holm, Karen Holm, Bob Swain, Jean Osburn, Dean and Diane were able to get more advertising than the editorial staff wanted. During the war advertising is easier to secure, but they both worked hard to manage the business side of the paper well. The new business advisor of the paper this term was Mr. Thurmond who has had a number of years' experience as faculty advisor of student publications.

Our Motto is Ars Servat,” the Latin phrase for Art Serves.” In carrying out our motto, Aro has completed various school projects, among which are posters, the painting of the goal-posts and scenery for the auditorium. Also we sponsored noon movies each Wednesday which were attended by audi- ences that filled the auditorium. We hope to continue these in following terms. Perhaps the most worthwhile objective of Aro is the presentation of a scholarship to be awarded each June to the outstanding member. This is a goal well worth the effort of every member. We offer our gratitude to Wayne Wagner, president and Miss Charla Ilgner, adviser, for their help in steering us through the difficulties of our first organization. 1st row: Nancy Peterson, Betty Gelvin, Mary Frances McHenry, Kate Delistraty, Virginia Givnan, Nannette Prestwood, Miss Ohmert 2nd row: Rosemarie See, Elizabeth Murphy, Phyllis Bates, Norma Berg, Donna Richards, Nancy Base, Nancy Lausmann, Norma Kinloch, Carolyn Murfree. 3rd row: Nancy St. Clair.

This term we sold maple bars at recess and cokes on Back-to-School Night. Under the leader- ship of our capable president, Kate Delistraty and the guidance of our advisor, Miss Ohmert, dean of girls, we have tried to make ourselves useful to the school.

It furnished two silex coffee makers with burners for an L. C. I. Ben Ellis and Jim Stewart procured them and the members donated the money. El Leon has a service flag of its own with stars for its former mem- bers. A plaque is being made with the names of its past presidents. It also has contributed to the War Chest and many of the members have donated their time at the Red Cross Center. El Leon has progressed a long way in the study of Spanish speaking, countries under the grand leadership of Ben Ellis and under the valuable ad- vice of Mrs. Peck. We regret the loss through graduation of our staff member Beverly Crake. She has our best wishes in any endeavor that she may undertake. She has been a valuable member. . . . . President . .

The many activities were enthusiastically sup- ported by all members. Our rush party was held on September twenty-second at the home of Virginia Parr. Eight girls began pledging at this time. These girls were init- iated November the eighth at the usual progressive dinner. The annual Sadie Hawkins Dance with Masque, Phreno, Neak, and Isto collaborating was held October twenty-eighth. This little bit of Old Dog- patch provided hilarious fun for all. During the term Masque participated in many wartime activities such as: rolling bandages, filling twenty-five boxes of toys for the Red Cross, and sponsoring an L.C.S. The club also decorated the George White Center dance hall for all the holiday dances. Some of the members enjoyed ushering at the Civic Theatre several times. The biggest project of the term was the redecorating of the Little Theatre. After much discussion the color scheme was selected and materials chosen. One group of girls made the curtains while another painted the walls and floor. The result amply repaid the members for all their exertions. Masque extends the best of wishes and luck to its graduating seniors, Virginia Parr, Mary Frances McHenry, Pat Ford, Nancy Lausmann, Kate Delistraty, Betty Glavin, Janet Vester, Betty Gelvin and Delores Heath.

The purpose of the club is to promote and maintain music appreciation throughout the school. We plan to give at least one talent assembly each term. Hindered by late organization we were not able to have any special pro- ject or help in the war effort but we have many plans set for next term. We have a charter membership of thirty, most of whom are talented musi- cians. Part of the club time is devoted to a varied program given by several members.

Later in the term the follow- ing girls were initiated in a very impressive candlelight ceremony: Marilyn Christopher, Joe Gold, Mary White, Alice Johnson, Ellen Leo, and Joyce Standing. Phreno has been very active this term. Menus were colored for the George White Center and scrapbooks were made for convalescing servicemen. Also the girls decorated the ballroom at the Service Center for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Comical favors were made for the Red Cross. A standing quota of Christmas boxes was met by the girls. One of our biggest events of the term was the Sadie Hawkins Dance which was held November tenth with Isto, Neak, and Masque. During the football season Phreno challenged Masque to a football game. Phreno won six to nothing. Near the end of the term a very successful tea was given for the faculty by Phreno. We also bought a war bond during the Sixth War Loan Drive. Phreno deeply regrets the loss of the following members through gradua- tion: Alicia Lang, Betty Lindley, Daphne Treadwell, Marilyn Reynolds, Peggy Randall, Shirley Karau, Nadine Koepke, Nancy Base, and Dawn Griffin. 1st row: Mrs. Proebstel, Bob Gesley.

To Mrs. Proebstel, our ad- visor, goes a great deal of credit for the proper guidance of Roscius and the handling of club affairs. Roscius, during the past term has digressed slightly from dramatics to in- clude all the theater. The members have served a number of times as ushers in the Civic Theater productions and also in various affairs occuring at the Civic Theater. As usual, the time honored custom of attending the Civic Theater en mass has been accepted and the club has been represented at every production. Roscius has also been represented at every major concert and theatrical production offered in Portland during the last term. During this term, the club colors were chosen officially for the first time with the selection of Gold and Black as the standard combination. The rush meeting was held at the home of Phyllis Bates and an impressive candle-light ceremony marked the initiation at the residence of Harold Wood. Versatility at the club meetings was due to the entertainment committee who selected members to put on sketches. The Stage Crew, which is responsible for lighting effects and scenery designs, is represented in Roscius by Bob Mitchell, stage manager and Norman Pope. Ut row: Mrs. Singleton.

In former years, the trophy was given permanently to the third time winner, but this year the name of the winner will be engraved on the plate on the front and it will be presented in assembly. The girl then keeps the trophy for one term, after which it is returned and again presented. When the name plate is full, the cup will be placed in the Washington High School trophy case.

The music prob- lem has been taken care of by the arrival of new books and songs, but the uniform problem has been compromised with yellow sweaters and brown skirts or trousers to suffice until after the war. The question of pins is under discussion. The program this year has included performances at assemblies and Back- to-School night, an appearance at the George White Service Center, and the presentation ol a Christmas program. Miss Hirschorn announces that tryouts will be necessary next term for those not already in the choir, and that tenors are especially needed.

Editor COACHES MR. EXLEY MR. SCHOPF The man who was largely responsible lor Washington s outstanding achievement on the gridiron this fall was Mr. Gerald Exley. We are very for- tunate and proud to have such a fine and capable athlete as Mr. Exley to be mentor of our football team. His athletic record at Coquille High School of earning fourteen letters speaks well of his versatile athletic prowess. While Coach Exley was attending Washington State College, he established track records and played all major sports. His forthright character and efficient management of this year's team in- stilled in the players the never say die spirit of all winning teams. Washington's able coach, Ted Schopf, who having led us to one champion- ship seems now to be leading us to another. He is basketball, baseball, and junior football coach. His chief objective is the excellent teamwork which was shown last year. Mr. Schopf graduated from St. Stevens Grade School and later from South- ern Oregon Normal School where he played basketball and baseball. He played basketball for the Bradford Clothiers who took the championship that year. Later he coached Chiquina High School's team for five years. We are really fortunate in having Mr. Schopf at Washington, for we, and many others, know that he is one of the best coaches in the city. F O O T B A L L RON BARRETT—fullback Ron was the hardest hitting fullback and most decisive tackier in the city He was captain of the team and was elected for the all-city team to climax his last year at Wash- ington. JIM BRUSCO—guard Jim was the hardest tackier in the state. He was co-captain of the team and called all defensive formations. Jim was picked for all- city squad to climax his last year at Wash- ington. LEE MIESEN—end Lee was the best defensive end in the city Whenever the opposing team came around Lee's end, they found that they had lost from five to ten yards. Lee was also picked for the all-city squad. DICK PARKER—halfback Dick called signals this year and could really sweep around the ends for large gains. He was picked for all-city squad and will be a great asset to the team next year. DICK WALKER—halfback Dick was a great defensive halfback and was in on most of the tackles. He was an accurate passer and gamed a lot of yard- age for the team. Dick will be back next year to carry the mail some more. JERRY KRAFVE—end When there was a pass play, Jerry could always be relied upon to catch the pass Jerry was a superb end and made three touchdowns. He was also picked for the all-city squad. AL WELP—tackle Al tore the opposing line to shreds and was a stone wall on defense He was in on most of the tackles and will be in on many more next year. LEON SPADA—guard The opposing teams found that the center of the line was an immovable force with Spada in there making all the tackles. This was Leon's last year, and he leaves a great gap to be filled. FRANCIS MAGELBY—tackle Francis was one of the heaviest men on the team and used his weight and skill to crush the opposing line. “Mag will be back next year to bolster the team. WASHINGTON vs. CORVALLIS Washington journeyed to Corvallis to open the 1944 football season and came home the winner with a nineteen to nothing score. Walker scored on a beautiful forty yard run, and Barrett and Johnson added the other two . touchdowns. WASHINGTON vs. GRANT The Colonials drew Grant, last year's city and state champions, as their opponent in the Grand Opening at Multnomah Stadium. At the end of the first quarter, the score was two to nothing, Washington. The remainder of the game was played the following Monday on Washington's home field. Wash- ington played a failing game to lose thirteen to two. This was Washington's only defeat this season. BOB MAXWELL-centor Bob was the best offensive blocker in the city. He could always be depended on to have good centers Red will be back next year to strengthen the team. DAR JOHNSON—auarterback Dar was one of the best quarterbacks in the city and was always paving the way for others with his blocks. This was Dar's first year at Washington and we will be sorry to see him leave so soon. DON COPENHAGEN—halfback Don was fast but a little too light to see much action. He will not be back next fall. DICK GREEN—tackle In his last year, Dick was an alternate for first string. BRUCE COWAN—end Bruce played end again this season and was competing for first string. This is his last football season. JACK SILLS—halfback Jack will return after a very fine season as halfback. BILL BOWES—fullback Bill will probably show a lot next year for he alternated for first string this season JACK KELLER—halfback Jack will be back next year when he will be pushing for a starting position. FRANK LU1ZZI—tackle Frank will be back next year and will be contending for first string. F O O T B A L L WASHINGTON vs. FRANKLIN Franklin's Bowl was the scene of Washington's third game. Led by Krafve and Barrett, Coach Exley's boys won by a score of twelve to nothing. Krafve scored the first touchdown on a beautiful pass from Barrett, and Barrett drove through center for the second score. Washington played fine defensive foot- ball all during the game. WASHINGTON vs. JEFFERSON The last minute passing attack of Jefferson almost upset the Colonials in their fourth game, played before a crowd of seven thousand at Multnomah Stadium; but Washington came through to win the bitter contest six to noth- ing. Krafve scored the lone and winning Colonial touchdown on a pass from Barrett. Washington outplayed Jefferson in all departments of the game but seemed to lack scoring punch. F O O T B A L L ED JOY—quarterback Ed is small, but he is a good quarterback prospect. ROY PAYNE—tackle Roy will be back next year to make it tough for the opposition. BUD BERG—end Bud will be back next year when he should hold down the end position. WILL URBAN—end Will had a successful year as end, and his spirit helped greatly. AL TOELKES—guard A1 played a good game and was competing for first string. DICK ROBINSON—center Dick played second string this year, and did a very good job. He leaves for the Marines very soon. TOM McGILL—guard Tom had a very successful season He most likely will be on the starting line-up next year. BOB HURTIG—end Bob did not have much chance to play due to stiff competition. BILL PARTLOW—halfback Due to lack of experience Bill did not play much. WASHINGTON vs. BENSON Benson fell to Washington's strong offensive and defensive play in a hard fought game on Washington's field by a score of eighteen to seven. Barrett scored in the first quarter and Miesen added another touchdown in the second quarter when he picked up a punt blocked by Spada. Barrett tallied again in the fourth quarter after Walker ran back a Benson kick thirty-eight yards. Benson outweighed Washington by a large margin but were outplayed by Washington's hard charging team. Brusco, Miesen, and Spada stood out in the line. WASHINGTON vs. COMMERCE The Colonial eleven had a difficult time to defeat a smaller but gamey Commerce team thirteen to nothing. The outstanding play of the game was Barrett s fifty-eight yard run for the second tally. Krafve scored the first touch- down on a pass from Barrett and Spada broke the Washington extra point jinx by drop kicking the extra point. NICK SHOLIAN—center Due to lack of experience Nick did not play much but he will be back next year. DICK GOLDMAN—guard Dick did not play much this year, but the experience ho gained will be valuable when he turns out again next fall. HENRY LIENS— Henry did not play much due to lack of ex- perience. JERRY DEITZ—guard Jerry did not have much chance to play this year He will not be back again next fall. DON CORUM—fullback Don did not have enough experience but will be back next year. ROY PITTS— Roy did not play much due to lack of ex- perience. HAROLD VARNEY—tackle Harold did not play much this year due to lack of experience. RAY WOODLE— Ray did not play much this year due to lack of experience. TERRY SABRO—Manager Terry and his assistant seagull'' did a fine job in helping the team. JOHN WACHTER—fullback John did not have much chance to play. but he never gave up. John is in the Navy now F O O T B A L L WASHINGTON vs. ROOSEVELT Washington, in a thriller, tied Roosevelt, the 1944 city champions, six to six in a sea of mud at Multnomah Stadium before eight thousand fans. Barrett scored for Washington when he bowled over three Roosevelt players and went thirty-eight yards for a touchdown. Barrett was on his way again in the third quarter but a leg injury sustained earlier in the game forced him down The hard hitting Colonials played a beautiful game both offensively and defensively. WASHINGTON vs. LINCOLN In the last game of the season, Washington defeated Lincoln by a score oi eighteen to nothing in a loosely played game at Kamm Field. Barrett scored the first two touchdowns and Sill scored the last. This was the last high school game for several of the team. Everyone got to play in the game. In spite of the spectacular successes in the past in cross country, the cap- ture of three successive city titles and two northwest titles, Washington was unsuccessful in placing in any meets this year. This was due to several un- fortunate circumstances; the loss of a valuable coach, Miller Nicholsen; the additional burden to the regular sports coach, who already had his hands filled with a very promising football team; and the lack of any returning cross- country lettermen. Most of our best runners were lost through graduation and the only returning letterman, Clair Francis, who acted as coach was not able to run this year. The varsity team this year was made up of Elwood Wilder, Lawrence Bud- long, Bill Fromme, Carl St. Helen, and Clark Austen. Budlong and Wilder were the only ones to place in the city and Wilder the only one to place in the state meet. The junior team was composed of Edwin Park and Malcolm Woodle. Park placed in the city and state meets. c R O s s c o u N T R Y Patronize Our Advertisers In part, the semi-annual publication ol the Lens is made possible through the generosity and service of the following advertisers.
