Before school had been dismissed last spring, many ideas were being offered for the book that we wanted to make different When once more we started to classes there were many arguments, set-backs, ideas rejected, and we worked con- ciously of keeping our costs at a set budget. On the day when all details were completed, we looked over the past year and saw a bit of appreciation for each other's opinions and now we are together when we give you our manufactured green and newfledged ideas and techniques which we believe you will enjoy. We hope you'll like all of our fire-new pets. At this time there is something very important happening-it is of greater consequence than any activities outlined in this book. Our country is at war to support and maintain an ideal, the ideal of Liberty as against slavery. We want to live as our ancestors have lived in the last one hundred and fifty years, as free peopleg we must continue to fight and sacrifice so that we will not be ruled as slaves but go on living, growing, building, as an untrammeled people should. There are men close to us, blrothers, fathers, who are doing their all to secure for us the rights which we and they believe in. To t em and---- I Contents FJQM, JW Between Hours mg V Play Hours After Hours wigjfwiyjwp 5 vm -ito all those of our faculty and alumni who are helping to uphold our ideal on the Fronts, in the Air, and on the Seas, we present a toast TO YOU-Immeasur- able Distinctiong We Pledge Full Support Ahead!! No more fitting DEDICATION OF THE '42 VVARRIOR could be made than to R. A. Beck. To the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior Classes, Mr. Beck could be known simply as King of Tyrantsf' because his job in the office is such that he must be the one to execute the duties of hestowing upon each and every one of the tardy scholars, slips known as Seventh Periodsf, His interest in the Senior Class has never lagged, and it was because of his words fand oftentimes his sufferingsj that we were permitted to do many feats unheralded in Washington High. If we were Dee in the Heart of Texas H we'd sav to him: Yo're a sc uare- P 1 . shootin', durn swell pardner to have on a ranch o' this acreagef' And We'll say we're in Texas. clllii OLUZ5, Washington High School . . . an education . . . prepare for the future . . . teacher teaches, pupil, well . . . the class of '42 . . . the Fresh- men . . . the Sophomores . . . the Juniors . . . two thousand students . . . pictures--you in your glory, you in your humbleness . . . the principal . . . the superintendent . . . the school board . . . student government . . . representa- tive students . . . the faculty . . . iWashington High School . . . 43: Uonfanfa Administration Council Freshmen Sophomores Juniors Officers Seniors History Graduation E005 0,2 To the Class of 1942: The year of IQ42 and the Class of 1942 will mean much for democracy. The mass production of planes, tanks, and ships will provide the mechanical units necessary to defend the rights of mankind. Your graduation means the mass production and completion of human units necessary to perpetuate democracy. You may not be called upon definitely to de- fend democracyg you are certain to be called upon to perpetuate it. Fortunately we, alone among the nations, at graduation time have been turning out one million units per year, and in these the fate of democracy rests. Dictators do not like what we have been doing. We bespeak for you a dedication of your time, your judgment, and your courage to the end that your vast pot-ential power will guarantee that government by the people shall prevail. L. lw. Fort ix This year our school has two assistant princi- pals. They are hir. M. M. Brumbaugh and Mr. R. A. Beck. Mr. Brumbaugh, the right-hand man around the office, has been with the school's administra- tion for 'many years. Friend and adviser to all, he receives the respect and admiration of everyone. Because Mr. Brumbaugh has taken a personal interest in the students, many of the alumni have written him, thanking him for his help. Included among his duties are the dispatching of business to the teachers, and keeping order in the halls. He also checks on the failing grades and tries to help failures be avoided. hir. R. A. Beck is the Hman behind the counter. He excuses absences and tardies and gives seventh periods. Despite the unplcasantness of this latter duty, lX'Ir. Beck is a helpful and well-liked figure about school. He, too, takes an interest in the students. As a Senior class ad- viser, his aid is greatly appreciated. -l. xaaufiuzi of flflfaigin ton cbligg Hxxq adam, xXxe X0 'a6Sxxxo0 Maps cm As, xx fm ox xkxe ,lil 111. le -. flux gh.

That is a laudable ambition, but let me remind you that for its accomplishment are required certain qualities of mind and heart without which the greatest efforts will not avail. Learning should give you added reverence manifested by an appreciation of human excellence, good workmanship, sincerity, genuineness, virtue and wisdom. It should give you a freedom which first of all means a certain victory over yourselves. You need to learn to smile over your unworthy idols, analyze your every prejudice, question your presumptions, and take your chances with the truth. You will have achieved success if you have gained the respect of intelligent men and women, if you have filled your niche and accomplished your task, if you have left the world better than you found itg if you have looked for the best in others, and given the best you had, if you possess a deep tenderness for those you love and a warm sympathy and an understanding for your friends. Your life will then have been an inspiration and your memory a benediction. VV. I.

The first semester officers of the Student Council were Lloyd Taplett, president, Harry Gunderson, vice- presidentg and llarilvn Stark, secre- tary. The second semester officers were Arnold Bauer, president: Allen Hopper, vice-presidentg and illarilvn Stark, secretary. The Student Council this year tried some radical changes. Because of the new homeroom system, a com- plete reorganization of the Student Council membership was considered. A constitutional committee composed of John lwarlcley, llflae Pooley, lhlary Forslund, Sue Grigsliy, Verne Jen- nings, Jack Stark, lX'Iarvin Bailin, David Austin, and Edwin VVilson, was appointed to rewrite the constitu- tion so that it would state specifically the requirements a club must meet in order to send a representative to the Council. A committee on cluhs was formed to see that club meetings would not conflict. Serving on this committee were Verne Jennings, Darlene Schnei- derman, Betty Lou Reed, Jack Stark, and Dick Galvin. Sfiff- QOUSZIZHZSIZ Above is a picture of the Executive Council for both semesters. Starting in the back row, from left to right, they are: Bud Carleton, Pat Billingsley, Glen Hundley, Don Hanson, Al Hopper, and David Austin. Second row: Arnie Bauer, Bill Cox, Harry Gunderson, and Lloyd Taplett. Third row: Bernice Wangsness, Mary Forslund, Dorothy Lou Johnson, Bob Horton, Marilyn Stark, and jack Stark. Fourth row: Mae Pooley, Donna Mae Holmes, Dorothy Simons, Bill Grigsby, Dan McKinnon, and Fred Monick. Front row: Darlene Higgins, Dagny Austin, Evelyn Holmes, and Suzanne Grigshy. The Student Council tries to mold student opinion. Therefore, even when there is comparatively little work for the Council to do, this body serves as the medium where school problems may be discussed. The plan for the library browsing room was first discussed in the Council. This group also acts as a committee to advise Mr. Fort on the types of assembly programs the students enjoy. The Executive Council is a group within the Student Council with representatives taken from each classifi- cation. Members for the first semester were David Austin and Evelyn Holmes, Freshmeng Donna Holmes and Donald Hanson, Sophomoresg Mary' Forslund, Harry Carleton, Bob West, and Bob Horton, Juniors, and Mae Pooley, Bernice Wangsness, Sue Grigsby, Dorothy Lou Johnson, and Dan McKinnon, Seniors. The second semester members were Dagny Austin and Fred lllonick, Freshmen, Darlene Higgins and Bill Grigsby, Sophomoresg Bob VVest, Jack Stark, Pat Billingsley, and Bill Cox, Juniors, and Dorothy Simons, A1 Wood, Harry Gunderson, Dan lNIcKinnon, and Lloyd Taplett, Seniors. The first semester Executive Council took a trip to Sioux City, Iowa. There they visited Central High School, and compared their student government system with ours. This organization also helped the city traffic department with the parking problem on the south side of the school. 5, EHZOGTCZG The Courtesy Guide was again sponsored by the Student Council this year, under the leadership of Marvin Bailin. The guides give up their study halls to direct visitors around the building. They also help to keep order in the halls. The guide took charge of a social hour after a basketball game to raise money to pay for their Courtesy Guide badges. if W W wi 2 ,av E avg Y YQ Q i 2 -MM X 12 if 5 , R Iv ' ' w 4 I ya, 5 11, , ' . f 4' 1-m....3 ., ' ' 7 9 , ' 'f 1 fw :., . , A -Q ' w 2:5 Av ' ' , ,,..:,.,, izil A 5 , 1 4 E ,L,.'alJE5Qf3' 'M'- E ?

It is during this first week that the tradi- tional initiation of all Hgreenhorns is carried on. At the left, freshies David Dedrick and Freddy lVIonick, already lipstick smeared, watch while their pal Bob lVlurer is subjected to more freshie trials by seniors Dick Cramer, Bob Horton, and Jim Hess. Patty Thompson and Donna VVard look on. On the front steps of lVashington High, Dagny Austin and Ernest Han- sen look a little perplexed over an algebra problem. Dagny and Ernest were chosen lVIost Typical Freshman Boy and Girl by members of their class. Because the freshmen have no need of class officers, they choose in- stead a boy and girl who are represen- tative students and who are called Typical Freshmen. This honor of being chosen Typical Student is paral- lel to the honor of being a junior or senior class officer. The sophomore class, like the fresh- man class, has no need for class of- ficers. They are, relatively speaking, unorganized, having no meeting or other class functions. Thus, the sophomores, too, choose a boy and a girl who are outstanding in citizen- ship, scholarship, and leadership to be the Typical Students of their class. At the left, Typical Sophomores. Claudia Hanson and Lee Rensberger. are enjoying some fresh air and dis- cussing their school problems. The one place to relax and enjoy oneself during the day is in the sopho- more study hall. At the left is a good example of what can happen be- hind a teacher's back. VVard Cheney catches up on some lost sleep while Don Stencil is industriously occupied in giving VVard the hot foot. Other sophomores are having a good time in general playing and the usual study hall pranks. The eccentric looking person, studying in the foreground, is Lois Stringham. .K at Q Q, U? . 5 , ' lr if F' 'Am Iliff ff' Y 0?

The girls are enlightened on the finer culinary arts. Dietetics, the composition of foods, and cooking it- self, are included. Woodworking in the first few semesters is an advanced manual training class, but later the boys are allowed to use the lathes, power saws, and drills. This class changes an apprentice to a master carpenter. The printing department is im- portant in that it serves as the main source of supply for all the printed matter used in the school. Seventh period slips, report cards, absence excuses, are examples. A type-setting course, instruction in the use of the presses, and a punctuation course are included in the semcster's work. Many of the following classes are inf conventionalisms which are typical of the vocational subjects, subjects for higher lea which add a variety and spice to the life o On this page are placed those Courses which are generally designated as being either boys' or girls'. Auto mechanics, metal working, clothing, home economics, woodworking, and printing are all of this type. gr: scl tio sp4 in lab wa fer pei rer div UP me i wh bot ani mia pla It col mi YV s . -lv tree ,-Z.

Cars are driven on to a ramp in the building and their motors are dismantled. The students in these classes are thorough and ef- ficient, and when the car is in one piece again there are not sixteen parts left out. Metal working is more than the name implies. In addition to the working of metals, the course also gives instruction in ores, and in the mining and processing of them. Clothing is the name for sewing class. It is the birthplace of our fu- ture Adrians. They learn how to darn socks, how to haste, how to hem, and how to sew a fine seam. Indivi- duality is stressed and designing is an important part of the curriculum. fifye go fo 671214551 Cffam. 0461601 I939-VVC were among the 685 bewildered freshies who enrolled for our freshman year. Soon our mouths closed and our eyes became accustomed to the sights and sounds of the big' high school. Many of us immediately started to join clubs, try out for plays, begin freshman debate, start a journalistic career, try out for athletics. With both feet, we jumped into the grand whirl of Washington High School social life. We went to our first Hi-Y Carnival and were proud of our Freshie Hi-Y Queen. At our first Sweetheart Dance the custom of W.H.S. Player Awards was begun. And how the f'fems swooned at the husky Monogram men selling candy at the games! Then suddenly we were all moved to different rooms as the remodeling took place, and high expectations were found in the new and magnificent school. At the end of the year we were pretty proud and sure of ourselves. So, with heads uplifted, we proudly showed sophomore registration slips. 1940--this was a new year, one in which we had to begin to do things and to take an active part in the bustle of our school life. A new stadium was named for and dedicated to none other than our own Coach Wood. Our first I.R.C. day and dance went over so big that it became a custom. And then- I94I-we became juniors. We could now taunt the freshmen. We were the big-shots. This was another year that things had to be done. So We began it with a big bang-our Junior Party. Many will remember the games and dances We had, starry-eyed with our best girl and boy. The Pep Club was formed, making a grand effect with the brilliant orange and black sweatshirts. Washington High became famed because of our unique band. That was the year the band took the trip to the East Coast. The Swing Program in which everyone had so much fun was repeated at the State Theater. The end of the year saw us sitting and watching the senior class graduate in their dignified caps and gowns. We thought of the glorious year that had just passed and began planning for a new and more exciting year, that of- 1942-seniors, the highest point of our career which we had attained in four years. Our senior class officers were elected and great plans were carried out for our super Senior Party. Then came Orange Letter Day, our crowning glory, because that day was really ours. Then we sat through our last assemblies and regretted that we would be leaving so soon. It was fun being seniors, running the school, being heads of clubs and beginning new things, the original idea, the big show Flyin' High. When the spring rolled around we knew we could never again look forward to planning another year here. So with a good-bye Washington High, we turned to look into another thrilling new life. , .

Presented here are some of the clubs, activities, and societies of which any student can avail himself in almost any field in which he is inter- ested. Some are local groups, some national, and others international, but they all tend to better the student's knowledge and culture. They are termed Honoraries because in every instance certain requirements for membership must be complied with, and it is truly an honor to belong to any of them. We hope through this section you will be able to recognize and better appreciate the services and advantages of these groups. Music Award Marciene Swenson won the honor of being selected as the representative chorus student. This award she very justly earned. SWede,H as she is called, has held operetta leads for the past three years, was in the Triple Trio for two years, and is well known as a Washington High School soloist. Her lovely soprano voice has been heard many times in school programs such as Flyin' Highf' assemblies, and as a soloist for first chorus presentations. She enrolled in a chorus class as a I1 just entering high school and has carried the subject every semester since then. W.H.S. is really proud of her! 6701215512154 Honoraries and Awards Publications Musical Grganizations Clubs Forensics Religious Organizations 7 ,,,,,, 77, V Y- ! 1 r'ff'1'f'1 ,fluff nuff fi-N Wai imma!

Wall Sum Snag i Ono 'Lazy Gqcfiuifiai Washington High School Players From the thespians of YVashington High School, live were selected this year for the coveted W.H.S. Players Award. To receive this honor, for the first time, requires I0 points, for the second time, 3 points. These player points may be secured in two ways. One is by actual acting in the various three-act and one-act plays. The other is by serving on committees which help in the construction of the scenery. From this year's group, Wayne Sandvig and Phyllis Haruni each received his first award, Nyla Ann Calkins, her second, and lylarilyn Stark, her third, and VVendell Cook, his fourth. Nlr. Brewster serves as adviser and director. Some of the players have received instruction in play casting and make-up. In the latter, much experimentation is conducted to get just that right effect for an actor's stage appearance. They find this almost as interesting as acting. The Players Award winners this year are a versatile group. Included are those who portray the romantic roles, as well as those that act in character parts. Shown at right, top row, left to right, Mr. Brewster, VVendell Cook, VVayne Sandvig. Bottom row, Nyla Ann Calkins, Marilyn Stark, and Phyllis Harum. Best Sportsman The coveted Best Sportsman trophy was won this year by Albert VVood. Little Al, as he is better known by his fellow students about the school, won his letter as a quarterback on this year's undefeated eleven. The award was pre- sented to him by the Monogram Club at their annual dance on lylarch 27. lt was given to him by his fellow athletes on the basis of general attitude, ability, popularity, and sportsmanship on and off the athletic field. This honor was in- augurated only last year but already has achieved a place of distinction, being one of the most prized of high school awards among the boys. W 1, ,L Quiff cmc! Sine!!! -- owma iam ociafy Quill and Scroll was founded to reward individ- ual achievement and encourage individual initiative in the field of high school journalism. Since its inauguration at the University of Iowa in 1926, it has grown to an international organization with thousands of members. It is an honorary society and has always taken an active part in raising standards in its field and in directing high school journalism. It makes available to the thousands of student jour- nalists serving on the publication of school yearbooks, literary magazines, and newspapers, many oppor- tunities of furthering their journalistic efforts. There are seven points of qualification taken into consideration when a candidate is presented for ad- mission into the society. These seven points are: Truth, Loyalty, Enlightenment, Opportunity. Leadership, Friendship, and Initiative. The installation ceremony which is built around these points, takes place at the dinner dance banquets held each semester. The largest group was inducted this spring. In the fall the membership consisted of twenty-five aspiring journalists and in the spring twenty-five initiates joined, giving the Quill and Scroll the largest number of members since its in- ception in Washington High. The members of the local chapter are chosen for their work on any one of the three school publica- tions: the Warrior, Orange and Blzzfle, or Chips. The Press Ball is an annual dance staged by Quill and Scroll members to finance their expenses at the annual district press meetings. The officers, elected at last spring's banquet a year ago, are: Loren Wildermuth, president, Dorothy Lou Johnson, vice-president, Dick Mo- berly, secretaryg and Sidney Dennis, treasurer.

This publication was put out during the second semester under the able direction of Miss Baker with the main staff selected from the creative Writing class. However, compositions were accepted from other students who showed talent in this field. Poems, short stories, and one-act plays make up the contents of the magazine. This year articles from a greater number of students were printed than in the past. The Woodchopper's Ball was the super social sponsored by the staff in order to raise money for the publication. It was held in the second and third floor halls after the regional basketball tournament on Niarch I3 and 14. Invitations were sent to students of the visiting schools and refreshments were served. The fine work done by Maxine Turgeon, editor, certainly helped to make this year's magazine a big success. The rest of the staff included Marillyn Kurth, assistant editorg Allan Hopper, advertising managerg Joane Boling, manuscript custodiang Au- drey Walstad, city sales editorg Eugenie Metcalfe, art editorg Vera Jean Benson, distributing managerg Nyla Ann Calkins, make-up editor, and Bus Reaves, business manager. The art work was done as a class project by Miss Koch's advanced Fine Arts class. The students read over the copy in order to know how to illustrate the compositions, and then each one selected any story he wished to work on. Miss Baker and the staff chose the drawings they preferred and sent them back to the art class where the students proceeded to make the linoleum cuts. The cover was designed by a member of this same class. It was worked out in a unique way as usual. A great deal of time was taken to complete this artistic work, but in the end it was certainly appreciated and commended on its excellence. lWiss Baker is certainly one of the busiest teachers in our school. As adviser for Chips she held a posi- tion that was one job in itself, not to mention her many other duties. However, she has proved that it can be done, and in the best of ways, too. Chips, the name of which signifies chips from the tree of knowledge, lived up to the fine reputation earned in past years. Yes, it was more popular than ever among our students! The main part of the staff is shown in the above picture. First row, left to right: Maxine Turgeon, editorg Allan Hopper, advertising managerg and Marillyn Kurth, as- sistant editor.

At the conclusion of the school year of 1941 and IQ42 Orange and Black, Volume XXXVI has taken its place among its predecessors as something to be prized by its out- going editor or criticized by the incoming head. This year the school paper introduced the system of co- editorship which was begun the second semester. Under this plan Dick lVIoberly and lyfark Marker filled the two co- editorial positions while Anne Gerlinger performed the duties of associate editor. Anne is also creator of the first national affairs column found in the HO and Bf' Among its many contrasting issues, the high school paper this year has followed the course of 'fplaying upl' different clubs and organizations in certain issues. ln keeping with this idea, a publications issue presented in pictures the many steps necessary for publishing the Orange and Black. ln the earlier portion of the school year, Dick Kfoberly was named alternate member of the All-State staff which covered the State PTA convention held at Aberdeen. Color and distinction marked the IQ4I Christmas issue as the newspaper staff this year presented a two-color com- bination of blue and silver on pale blue paper. One Harvey, Illinois, newspaper remarked in reference to the O and B Yuletide publication, Unique-and howl This year, the Orange and Black incorporated the duties and responsibilities of publishing the annual senior paper, formerly under the editorship of a group of seniors. Variety and color have been brought to the sports page with snappy streamlined sports stories combined with the decidedly modern makeup effect. Al Hopperls clever drawings have lent interest and zest to the editorial page. In later issues of the paper, Al in- troduced a comic section. Besides its usual task of publishing a newspaper, the Orange and Black this year published a student directory, under the management of Lawrence Silverton. In this booklet was listed each pupills name, his street address, and telephone number. A contest was sponsored by the National Quill and Scroll Society in which Anne Gerlinger received second place honors for newswriting in the Central States division. Dick lVIoberly obtained honorable mention in the headline division. Mrs. Delbridge, who for many years had been the Orange and Black adviser, concluded her teaching career and now is replaced by Miss Helen Baker. Among those who have proved their skill in newspaper work, Byron Feldman, Patty Park, Ruth Henkens, and Barbara Kleinheinz may be rated tops in no uncertain terms. 'ZCU2 E r l l F Shown above, left to right, Mark Marker, co-editor, Anne Gerlinger, associate editor, Dick Moberly, co-editor, and Miss Baker, adviser. Byron, this year, has been given an extraordinar- ily varied list of assignments, ranging from cut-and- driedl' news stories, to features of all kinds, and finally f'By's Column, an interesting depiction of entertaining happenings to Washington High stu- dents. Patty, who succeeded Jean Stride as City News Editor, has had the task of recording in the Daily Argus Leader, assemblies and other school functions which may have been of interest to the outside readers. Ruth, this year, has displayed her aptness in the journalistic field by writing the interesting person- ality sketches found on the Editorial Page. It would by no means prove false to say that, HShe writes just buckets and bucketsf, Barbara is probably noted more than anything else for her entertaining and original features, quiz- zes, puzzles, and what-nots appearing on page two. Of the four, all but Ruth Henkens are graduating. Efaali As it has always done in the years past, the Orange and Black staff again enterprised and gained national recogni- tion with its activities. Dick Dozer was elected president of this district of the South Dakota Press Association. He will officiate when the district convention meets here next year. The staff received congratulations from the central of- fices on the Christmas issue of the paper, and from many other high school journalists throughout the country came unbounded praise. One editor termed the paper Hmost unique! The thrill of the year came when Ludwig Caminita of Arlington, Virginia, who is publishing a book for high school reporters, asked to be sent two issues of the Orange and Black to be used in making photostatic copies for illustrating his writings. XVashington High School is proud to have had such a record-making staff working during 194.1-1942. Shown at left, left to right, Barbara Kleinheinz, Patty Park, Byron Feldman, and Ruth Henkens.

Thompson, the director of the VVashington High School Band. During his many years as band leader, Mr. Thompson has guided his organization through countless trips and concerts. Most students remember the band in its con- certs played just before the Christmas vacation. Un these occasions, the band, against a back- ground of lighted Christmas trees, plays a con- cert of Christmas music. Though we may sometimes forget the hard work it takes to Whip this band into shape, We don't soon forget the music that they produce. A section of the band, namely the Pep Band, plays at basketball and football games. This group is made up of first and second chair holders in the hand. They do much to generate enthusiasm and high spirits at the games. The Band has played numerous other cons certs this year. On two different occasions they helped the Red Cross, once on a radio program, and the other in a program at the Coliseum. A band member's day may seem to be a strenuous one, but most of them enjoy it. Prac- tice starts at S o'clock in the morning and con- tinues through the first period. Band members may come into the band room during their free periods and receive further instruction. Before band concerts the schedule of practices is increased. .moms VW QV. .5 Q?

Nevertheless, Mr. Hoover has done remarkably well with this inexperienced group. They iirst performed for the public on Orange Letter Day when they furnished the music for the corona- tion ceremony. On October 31 the orchestra, chorus, and the band collaborated in presenting a concert for the dis- trict S. D. E. A. meeting at the Coliseum. One of the outstanding musical presentations was a joint concert by the orchestra and chorus on December 3, with Miss Elizabeth Thomas featured as the trumpet soloist. The climax of the year was the annual spring concert, given this year on March 25, Miss Edith Mussler, clarinet, and Miss Ann Bryant, soprano, were the soloists for the concert. Miss Dorothy Mussler was concert mistress this year and also a violin soloist. A group of thirty-Eve musicians chosen on a per- formance basis supplies the accompaniment for the operetta each year. These are usually the best musicians of each instrument division and are chosen hy Mr. Hoover and Mr. Bohlke, director of the chorus. Some of the more difficult selections undertaken by the orchestra this year were 'fDie Fledermaus' by Strauss and The Barber of Seville by Rossini. The orchestra was unable to go on any trips this year because of transportation difficulties. Harold . Hoover 'Nat cmgilz fora cgcgoof Ugozcw. XVith new royal blue robes worn in place of capes on more formal occasions, and monogrammed white sweaters for afternoon programs and around school, the Chorus performed in style this year. The one hundred members, selected by hlr. Bohlke from his four chorus classes, practiced on the average of once a week after school. This time was spent in polishing up the songs for presentation. Chorus programs included city concerts and an out-of-town trip. The third annual joint concert of the orchestra and chorus was presented in De- cember. This was the outstanding accomplishment of the first semester. Both groups were highly com- mended for the excellent program. The chorus also sang for the P.T.A. convention, Red Cross benefit program, S.D.E.A. convention, and many city or- ganizations. Flandreau lndian School invited the group to sing for them in january. Students were excused from classes for one day in order to make this trip. The musical selections, chosen by Klr. Bohlke, were sacred and secular numbers. The sacred music was usually sung Il rzzfwprlla, while Claire Van Aus- dall, as the chorus pianist, accompanied in the secular pieces. Shown above are the members of this year's first Chorus.

EipfSl2C!Ei?,f Chorus Presents Sonia Sonia, with music by Don VVilson, was the operetta selected for production during the second semester. This was an operetta with scenes taking place on an American campus and in Russia. Sonia Markova, a campus deb, embarks on a journey with a group of friends to find her father whom she believes to be imprisoned in Russia. Supporting roles offer complications to the plot but the usual happy ever after ending straightens everything out. Miss Hospers, Miss llokenstad, and Miss Olson were the teachers selected to coach the dramatics. Casting for parts and holding rehearsals nearly every day constituted the major part of their work. All of the chorus students worked diligently on the production, but certainly no one f'slaved more than Mr. Bohlke. Besides, as the producer, he had to worry about every little detail. However, it was really a lot of fun and everyone appreciated the efforts put in by faculty and students alike.

Last summer the band, again under the direc- tion of Arthur R. Thompson, toured fifteen states and three provinces of Canada. Their first concert was in Minneapolis, where, playing at Lake Harriet, they opened the summer park season. From there they hurried to Camden, New Jersey, where on June 6 they were allowed to play at the launching of the U.S. Battleship South Dakota. Next, the 75 piece hand traveled to our nationls capital where, on the steps of the Capitol Building, they played to a crowd esti- mated at nearly 50,000. The band's next stop was in New York City. There they played several impromptu concerts and a formal one in Central Park. At Boston, their next stop, they played numerous concerts and then sped to Canada. liilontreal was their first Canadian stop. In the evening, playing to another 50,000 crowd, they opened a Victory Loan Rally. Their next stop was Ottawa, the Canadian capital. After parading to the Parliament Building, they received for South Dakota and the United States the greetings of the Canadian people. After stopping in Toronto, they crossed Lake Ontario by steamboat, and their buses next took them to Niagara Falls. Leaving that night from the Falls, the band arrived in Detroit. There they played a concert in the beautiful Belle isle Park. Their final stop was at Ames, lowa. The band played a con- cert at Iowa State College, and then boarded their train, homeward bound. Arriving in Sioux Falls at 6:00 P.lVI. on Friday, June 20, the band ended its 4000 mile trip in a glorious fashion. After the festivities and ovations of the day had died away, the band members returned to their families, glad to be home, realizing that they had just completed a trip which they would long remember.

It was especially fine this year and certainly did its job of 'lpepping upl' our stu- dent body. These members were always ready and willing to furnish us with the very finest music. They were also members of hir. Thompsonls first band. lt is certain that not only our students and faculty but also the athletic teams appreciated them. Onward Sioux Falls spurred our teams on every time. The Double String Quartet, a new addition to the W.H.S. orchestra, was a very up and coming organization. In the past years the orchestra has always featured a string quartet, but this year talent was so outstanding that a larger group was started. Under the direction of Mr. Hoover, they played classical and semi-classical selections. Because of their diligent practicing and cooper- ation, they have been asked to play for many high school groups as well as for clubs through- out the city. As an added attraction, the Triple Trio was heard on most of the chorus programs this year. The girls also sang for P.T.A. organizations, several banquets, and different clubs. Pink sloppy-Joel' sweaters and dark skirts were the outfits chosen by the girls. Later, however, they wore the white chorus sweaters that were purchased at the beginning of the second semester. Under the direction of hir. Bohllce, the girls practiced on the average of once a week. Audiences enjoyed their music which was ar- ranged for groups the size of the Triple Trio. Top: They Pep Band members are: Keith Miller, Shirley Nor- berg, Elmer Ixaske, Jerry Lofgren, Roger Kehm, Bob VVier, Henry Muters, Edna Dalward, Corlyn Simmons, Gus Schaefer, VVaylani'l Mitchell, Shirley Clark, Elaine Sandness, Paul Pierson, Bill Lee Girton, Charles Baker, Mary Lou Hove, Cliff Henjum, Maxine Mc- Laury, Doris Mortenson.

With the open- ing curtain we find the Court of lVIaximillian X anxiously awaiting his arrival with a suitor for the Princess Helene. This has all been arranged beforehand so the bankrupt kingdom can receive a much needed foreign loan. Al- though Niki finds Princess Helene very dull and court life most depressing, he is com- manded by his King to marry her. In the meantime, Niki falls in love with an American artist, Kay Robinson, and he declares he Cannot go through with the marriage. He prcfesses his love for Kay, and she is heart- broken to discover that he is to marry the Princess the next morning. Rupert and Sigismund follow Niki to the cafe and overhear his plans. Sigismund ships Rupert and Niki off to London in the King's plane and plans to take Nikils place in the wedding ceremony because he knows the marriage will have to proceed. The two suitors, however, overcome the pilot and return to Helene and Kay. The King consents to Rupertls marriage to the Princess Helene as long as he has made arrangements for the much needed foreign loan. The operetta concludes with Kay and the Princess formulating plans for a double wedding cere- mony. THE CAST Kay, an American artist ......

Here we have Conductor Harold Hoover leading the orchestra while the bows cut mean strings. lf you were lucky enough ever to have a fourth period class in Room 326 you could appreciate the XV.H.S. orchestra. ln fact, you appreciated them every day. hir. Hooveris work has earned the fine reports given about this year's orchestra. The organization played a big part in the operetta production-and what's more, they certainly did it up in a big XVZIY. Can you imagine the thrill of playing on the steps of our great national Capitol? Such an honor was given to our band just last summer. This highlight of their exciting trip was a privilege seldom given to high school students. Our exceptionally Fine band has been praised by all audiences. However, we as VVashington High School students should be doubly proud of this organization. It belongs to us and is a part of our school. Their snappy uniforms and fine discipline must have made a really fine impression on their great trip. Boyd L. Bohlke posed with Patte Rufer during a chorus trip. If snaps had been taken of all the students on the buses you would probably see a few sleeping, some playing cards or reading 'Afunny books, and others singing superb musical compositions such as Deep In The Heart of Texas. Everyone is eager to go on a trip with the Chorus because these trips have the reputation of being lots of fun. They give you a fine chance to catch up on all the gossip and hear all those little moron jokes. Seriously speaking, the programs presented are of the very best. Hass drums, snare drums, kettle drums, and bells in orchestras are not often honored but this percussion group is made up of extremely powerful instruments. VVithout a doubt they could 'ldrown out the other sections if they set their minds to it. XVe seldom stop to realize that it takes just as much practice and skill to perfect one's playing on these instruments as to play in the string and woodwind sections. Yet, it must be a lot of fun to beat out the time on a gigantic, resonant drum. It certainly looks as if it would be. Shown nlmve, 21 Dratnzttitf fluls meeting in tomn 214.

The Dramatic Club of Washington High School had another active year. Holding meetings on an average of once a month, the club had parties, and received instruction in play production as well as acting. This year many aspiring actors joined Dramatic Club, and the casts of the three-act and one-act plays consisted of many new figures. The climax of the year was the Sweetheart Dance held on February 13. From the candidates for that honor, hlae Pooley was selected as Sweetheart. Her attendants were Dagny Austin, freshman, June Schafer, sophomore, and Mary' Forslund, junior. Adam and Eva was the three-act presented in the fall, and The Night of January I6 was the mystery given in the spring. Appearing in the latter were: Eugene Still- man, Phyllis Harum, Wayne Sandvig, hflarilyn Stark, Donna Rae Searles, Wendell Cook, and others. The entire play takes place in a court room where a woman is being tried for murder. Whether she is guilty or not guilty is left to a jury which is selected from the audience. There are two endings, one for each verdict. Other activities have been two one-act plays. The first was Thank You Doctor, a comedy laid in a psychologist's office. Appearing in this were Bud Nicholls, Ruth Bailin, lWarvin Bailin, VVayne Sandvig, and Betty Gietzen. A second one-act play was presented in the winter. An experiment was conducted for this play. The cast was chosen entirely from freshman and sophomore students of the club. The idea, of course, was to give these under- classmen a chance to gain experience before becoming juniors and seniors. From the large number of people who tried out, hir. Brewster selected Shirley Clark, Betty Lou Jerdy, and Barbara Graff. At one meeting of the club, Don Countryman, director of the Civic Theater, gave a talk on rllflhezzp. Before the Christmas vacation, a party and quiz program was held in the cafeteria. Another activity of the club is the production of radio skits for the State P.T.A. Our capable actor-director, the man behind the stage, is Mr. Lawrence Brewster, shown above. Most of us have known him in one or more of his various activities about the school, either as teacher of English or Drama, as a Hi-Y counsellor, or as director of plays. Mr. Brewster attended Yankton College not too many years ago, and at the present is taking extension work at the University of Iowa, his interest, Radio Education. UL. VV. is known not only to be a good judge of acting, but also of picking out the plays that are to be given. His production, The Night of January 16, was acclaimed as outstanding in its first presentation by a high school in this territory. Each year Mr. Brewster directs a three-act in the fall, usually on the lighter side, and each spring another, sometimes a mystery, and usually more se1'ious. Sprinkled throughout the year are one-acts given as assembly programs. , , Biofogy Exfzan 1 One of the most interesting organizations in W. H.S. is the Biology Club. lt was formed with the idea that a large group of students were sufficiently interested in biology to warrant further study in this subject. The programs fall into three distinct groups. The first is the field trip. This year excursions were taken to such places as the Newton Hills, south of Canton, Cactus Hills, and Sherman Park. The second type of program is that of speeches, given either by a member of the department or an outsider. This year Mr. Maggrett, lVIr. Jorgenson, and Mr. Thurston, the advisers, all spoke on some phase of biology. lylr. Carl Sacre, District Conser- vation Officer of Nlinnehaha County, and John K. Edwards of Sioux Falls College spoke to the club. A third form is the social program. These were held from time to time in different members' homes. At all meetings variety is stressed. Students are put on original research problems, and they make their reports to the club. During the first part of the year, Charles Collins was presidentg during the second, Delores Johnson served.

The girls' club is called Chaturanga, and the boys' is called Pawn Pushers. Queen of the Chaturanga this year was Noreene hlcKenna, and president of the Pawn Pushers was Stanley Brown. The Queen keeps the minutes of her meetings in the Queenys Diary. The Chaturanga was organized four years ago. Today only two of its charter members, Barbara Kleinheinz and Noreene lVlcKenna, still belong. During these years, the club has increased its mem- bership more than twice. llleetings are held twice a month in some member's home. The Pawn Pushers, three years older than the Chaturanga, was organized in 1934. lts meetings, like its sister organizations, are held twice a month, also in some member's home. Once each semester the two clubs nteet in a joint meeting. These are usually interesting nights, be- cause there is keen rivalry between the playing abilities of the members ot the two clubs. A tournament is conducted during the school year. Chess games are held between members of the clubs. The winners are given medals. Advisers of the Chaturanga are Bliss Helen Baker and Bliss B. Johnson. Adviser of the Pawn Pushers is lllr. L. A. lXIcKenna. lllr. NIcKenna has taken an active interest in the organization since its founding. Below, a Chess Club meeting.

Caffe 5 CLE Adviser of Our Potential Collegiates The College Club, the largest organization in the school, had another busy year. The members, who are high school students interested in ad- vanced education, met once a month for either a business or social meeting. At the first meeting of the year, college students who had not yet returned to their respective universities told the club about the schools which they attend. At another meeting, four businessmen, a lawyer, a doctor, an engineer, and a business college executive, gave information about each of their pro- fessions. They told the students what preparatory work to take in high school to get ready for these jobs. At still another meeting, Nlr. Barrett Lowe, President of Sioux Falls College, explained how junior colleges operate. Socially, the club was again active. Sponsoring the largest and only formal dance of the year was no small task. The dance was held in the Arkota, the night after Christmas, December 26. High school students and their alumni friends danced the hours away to the music of Bob Hufstader and his orchestra. The College Club, with the International Relations Club, built the high school float for the Armistice Day Parade. Constructed around the theme Education ls the Light of Democracy, the float was a credit to the school. One of College Club's most ambitious projects is purchasing the Nlonographs issued by the Institute of Research. Every time a new series comes off the press, the club buys a set and puts them in the library for the benefit of students. They also sponsored the aptitude tests given to the graduating seniors through the courtesy of Sioux Falls College.

Bottom: Dr. Gunherg of Augustana llege, who spoke at one of our meet- gs on the educational and armament ngram in Germany before the pres- aggression. Their Meetings Keep Us up to Date This year the International Relations Club offered to its members a variety of programs and events. One of the featured speakers of the year was Miss Thyra Lund, who just returned to the U.S. from Occupied France in June. She described vividly the conditions in France and the difficulties encountered by anyone trying to get out of a country that is in Germany's control. Dr. Gunberg of Augustana College and Miss Josephine Wagner gave interesting programs on Germany and Alaska respectively, the Alaskan trip being illustrated with beautiful colored slides. A panel discussion on South America by a student group provided an interesting February meeting. On International Day this year l. R. C. gave all the students the op- portunity of seeing in the library a very descriptive traveling exhibit of over three hundred authentic historical manuscripts and documents. In- cluded in the exhibition were such pieces as the first casualty list of the Revolutionary War, records of the sales of slaves and the landing of slave boats, and various newspaper accounts of Lincoln's assassination. The entire library was used to present the exhibition to the students. I. R. C. consisted this year of over one hundred fifty junior and senior members who attended meetings regularly and paid dues. Because of conflicting dates and events no dance was sponsored by the l. R. C. this year. Rules about attending meetings were revised and this tended to bring about a more unified and compact group as penalties were provided for those who missed too many meetings without an adequate excuse. An annual I. R. C. picnic is always held in the last part of April at one of the parks, and this, with the election of new officers, concluded the activities of the year. This yearis officers are: Verne Jennings, presidentg Dorothy Simons, vice-president, lklae Pooley, secretaryg Dan McKinnon, treasurerg and Dorothea Rose and Alice Thomas, committee chairmen. Below are the Senior I. R. C. officers. Back row: Mae Pooley, Dorothy Simons, Verne Jennings, Dan McKinnon. g D In the first row are Alice Thomas, Dorothea Rose. Below: members at the panel meeting in the library cuziot Q01 cmization Une of the newest organizations in Washington High School is the Junior International Relations Club. This club has an interesting history. In 1940 the social science teachers decided that the Senior I.R.C. was too large. They noted that underclass- men were losing interest and failing to come to the monthly meetings of the parent organization. Under the guidance of Mr. Stordahl then, these teachers formed a club for the exclusive membership of those freshmen and sophomores interested in international affairs. The Hrst year the club boasted an attend- ance of 40, but now the membership has been doubled. The constitution, adopted this year, is patterned after the senior club. The objectives of the Junior I.R.C. are to arouse an awareness of the existence of world problems. The activities carried on are unbiased appreciation of the difficulties that confront the nations of the world today. Meetings are held in room 222 the first Tuesday of each month. Elected at the first meeting were: Gus Schaefer, president, Marlys Sandvig, vice-presi- dent, Jackie Kraft, treasur-er, and Kathleen Quinn, secretary. The membership fee is ten cents a year, and any- one belonging must be willing to take a major or minor part in the program. Cfficers are required to be 22,8 or under when elected. Programs have been varied and interesting this year. At one of the first, Miss Josie Wagner spoke to the club about her recent trip to Alaska. She showed colored slides which she had taken both of her journey to, and her stay in that northern country. At another meeting Mrs. L. A. McKean spoke on her trip to Mexico. She showed moving pictures which she had taken there. Gerald Larson, of the Y.M.C.A., spoke about his trip to Europe. During the second semester, Mr. Bratt told some interesting points about his journey to Canada. Another activity of the club was the construction of a float in the Orange Letter Day parade. Help- ing in its construction were: Gus Schaefer, Marlys Sandvig, Jackie Kraft, Kathleen Quinn, Maurice Paulson, and Dick Oates. The club also sponsors the annual l.R.C. social hour. This year it was held in the second Hoor hall after the basketball game with Sioux City Central High School. Adviser of the club is Mr. Stordahl, who is aided by the other social science teachers. Shown above left, Dick Twedell and Dagny Austin, on the Junior I.R.C. Orange Letter Day float. Above right, the officers. Left to right, jackie Kraft, Gus Schaefer, Marlys Sandvig, and Kathleen Quinn. Below, a meeting of the Junior I.R.C. l 4 l r l U65 of 'ZLLE ETULCE The Library Club is one of our most active or- ganizations. The twenty-live members, represent- ing all four classes of students, contribute a real service to our school. This is one club where every member has a job to do, and she must take part in the activities of the group. lvlost of us high school students recognize the efficiency of these girls, but little do we realize how much time they give to their jobs. Miss Stephenson, Miss Flint, and Miss Douthit probably appreciate their assistance most for they know how much study, work, and time is necessary to serve students in the library. Six of the girls attended a two day conference that was held at Sioux Falls College in February. The delegates were Wilma Graff, Neva Lidel, Jean Oberlander, nlarillyn Kurth, Vera Jean Benson, and Betty Kiewel. At this conference a new association was organized for student librarians in South Da- kota and surrounding states. Beverly Truxes, vice- president of the club in our school, was toastmistress at the banquet in Glidden Hall. Probably the outstanding accomplishment of the year was the creation of a browsing room for stu- dents who have leisure time during study periods. One corner of the library is marked off, and tables are equipped with some of the better books and magazines. ln order that students use this for the purpose planned, no study books are allowed in that portion of the library. Those of our student body who make use of it find it very worthwhile and interesting. The librarian hopes that some time soon we may have a special room adjoining the li- brary for browsing. However, it isn't 'fall work and no play for the Library Club members either. They have enjoyed numerous parties throughout the year, including picnics and potluck suppers. The social phase of the club life has been more prominent each year. All of the girls attend these parties and really do have lots of fun. Their pep and vitality prove that they should not he dubbed as 'fbook worms. Top left: The girls enjoyed every minute of their club picnic that was held last fall.

The Royal Order of I-lomemakers club has com- pleted its fourth year since the reorganization of the club. The membership consists of students enrolled in the school cooking and clothing classes. lleetings are held twice a month on VVednesday afternoons after school. The first meeting of the month is devoted to business, and a speaker is engaged to address the girls. Miss Dewing, county home extension agent, and Bliss Evenson were two of the main speakers this year. The second meeting of the month is a social with refreshments. Grooming, personal appearance, opportunities in homemaking as a profession, and the art of becoming a better hostess are the main subjects that the club is interested in. Their meetings are centered on these ideas. Students envy these girls when they see their lovely sewing and when they smell the aromas from the cooking kitchen. The girls prepare the food during class time for their parties. The three main parties were the Halloween party, Children's party, and a Valentine party. Singing and games help to make these affairs festive. Klrs. lVhittaker is the adviser for the club. She is well-known by VVashington High students and is appreciated by all her pupils. Top: The club members are shown at their Valentine party.

Meetings are held once a month and are planned by the members themselves. Unless a party is scheduled, their programs pertain to French life and customs. Slides, speakers, games, and songs make up the subjects for programs. Even the songs and games are carried on in the language they are studying.

I I i Uday 'ze Cjofli L12 5Cf6Ll72ClfLOl2 hliss Hospers, adviser of the declam work in our school, should be given much credit for the success in this field. As in the past years, this season's declam work will be Mchallced upw under a victory heading. The cooperation and direction given by the adviser was of real value to each student who entered declam this year. Approximately forty students entered the four divisions of our local declam contest. This was the opening of a successful year. The four winners selected from this group were llary Forslund in dramaticsg Arlys hliller, poetry readingsg Klar- vin Bailin in the oratory section: and Jeanette Nelson, humorous readings. Success carried all four of our victors through the district meet where they earned top honors. ln the divisional contest, competition became stiffer, and Klary, Arlys, and hlarvin were eliminated as a result. Last year Nlary was eligible for the national contest, while Arlys held that honor two years ago. lllarvin is on the first debate squad, and is a member of the National Forensic League. Jeanette carried away the honors for our school in the divisional tourney and gained the right to enter the humorous division of the state tournament. ln this contest she was eliminated. -leanette did a line job and really entertained her audiences wherever she enacted her reading. None of our students were lucky enough to reach national competition this year, but the prospects for next year are ex- ceedingly promising. Quite a number of those students who entered declam last fall will be juniors or seniors next season. The above picture is of the first squad debate team. From left to right, they are: Ernest Castle, Marvin Bailin, Alice Thomas, Verne jenningsg and Miss Clara Chilson, axziify cm Discussing pro and con the important subject of permanent military conscription, the debate squad followed a strenuous schedule with consistent success. First place ties at the two biggest tournaments of the year, the Tri-State at Madison and the Big Eight in Sioux Falls, were the important victories. Added to these triumphs were a first place tie at XVebster and an undisputed first at both the YVatertown extenipore tourney and a smaller meet at Canton. Second place rankings at the University invitational, YVorthington and Pipestone, count for a high total of debate victories.

At the Yank- ton novice meet they won second place on the af- firmative and first and third on the negative.

The purpose of the club is to coordinate the high school with the businessmeng its aim, to develop a common interest between the employer and the prospective employee. The group meets once a month for either a busi- ness or a social meeting. At one of the early meet- ings, lVIr. Sherwood hliller of the Associated Re- tailers spolce to the group. He told what the businessmen expect of an employee, and how one should go about getting jobs down town. At another meeting, a pot-luck supper was held in the Cafeteria. Twenty members of the club were present. In these uncertain times, the commercial depart- ment of the high school is assuming an ever increasing importance. As evidence of this, enrollment in the courses offered has consistently become greater. Many students have come to realize that stenography is perhaps one of the most useful tools in securing jobs. Many of last year's graduates have found jobs in Wiashington during the last few months. Others have secured positions in business offices down town. In competition with schools all over the country, our commercial department has been very successful. Each year the Gregg Company, which publishes the manuals used in that department, sponsors contests in typing and shorthand. In the former, tests are ufuea efdznos Shown above, the members of the Greggites Club.

In 1941 as in IQ4O, the 4 classes were rated as one of the fifteen best in the nation. One may today s-ee the Prize Banner in the typing room. This is the award they were given. In shorthand, that is, transcription and dictation, the tests are also given. They are at graded levels such as 80 words a minute, 100 words, 120 words, and 140 words. The tests are graded both on ability in the dictation notes taken and on the transcription. In this section, our school also rated as one of th-e fifteen best. The advisers of the Greggites are Miss Walter, lVIiss Beardsley, Miss Harlan, and Miss Bach. Ol2O 'ZCU72 - The only requirement for membership in the Monogram Club is winning a letter in interscholastic competition. Consequently the majority of its mem- bers are football lettermen, with basketball and track next in line. The purpose of the club is to coordinate the activities of all the members into a common causeg namely, better representation and participation in high school athletics. The lylonogram Club holds monthly meetings in which the club transacts its business and attends to routine matters. Included in the club's various activities are plans for the initiation of new members, and the annual candy-selling project at all home basketball games. This fund helps the members get their gold footballs, basketballs, and miniature track shoes. .ext JWEZLCQHL Back row, left to right: Jim Lepse, Dave Austin, Bob Lockhart, Glen Hundley, Bud Carleton, Chuck Rhode, Gordy Rensberger, Arnie Bauer, Dick Arnston, john Markley, Don Kruck, Lee Rensherger, Chuck Gregg, Robbie Harum, Al Hopper.

The two other main social events were the parties held in honor of the freshman girls. However, the Recognition Ceremony Was the service that expressed the ideals and standards of the organization. lwrs. Charles Gerlinger was the main speaker. She presented some exceptionally fine thoughts and challenged each girl to the ideal to be her very best. The services conducted during Easter week by the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y boys for all the high school students also brought out the religious aspects of both organizations. These services were held in the mornings before school.

W. l. Early. The club then consisted of twenty boys from all classifications. From that beginning have come the fifteen chapters that now comprise the Hi-Y. The purpose of the club is to provide an organiza- tion f or the boys that would stand for the best in community life. Their slogan is HClean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Athletics, and Clean Scholar- ship. The biggest activity this year was the Hi-Y build- ing of the rooms. These are in the basement of the Y.lI.C.A. building. Three rooms have been con-- structed for the use of its members, two for meetings and one for recreation. They are being built through contributions by the members and equal contributions by businessmen. They have been opened after basketball games to Hi-Y members and their Udatesf' Above left, a chapter party in the Hi-Y rooms. Above right, officers of the Hi-Y.

Her attendants were Kay Strain, senior, Patty Kliller, junior, and Tonv llurray, sophomore.

M , 1 , , 1:5 L U55 Qui The Dean of South Dakota Coaches, is the title that is rightly given to Washington High School's truly great coach. This title is not only given to him for his length of service but because each year his teams come up with new tricks and new ways of doing the old ones. During the thirty odd years that Howard VVood has been coach for YVashington High he has had a very enviable record. f'Coach'l has often told his players that he wished that they could meet some of the big leaguersn such as Frank B'IcCormick, ath- letic director of the University of Klinnesota. But why go to Klinnesota or any out-of-state place? Coach YVood is one of the biggest and best known high school coaches in the country. Sportsmanship is the theme used by him throughout all of his work as athletic director. Long may the Dean produce fine sportsmen for VVashington High School. ln the lower left is C. R. Beck, the line coach for the VVarriors. To the boys he's just 'iC.R. One of his many jobs is the difficult one of soothing Coach's nerves before a game. Also, on the trips, he becomes general handy man. Next to C.R.'l is a newcomer, Stan lYIcCormick. In IQXQ7, Stan graduated from VVashington High cfm li fits School, where he was an outstanding football player. He has the task of helping f'C.R. to get the line in shape. Welcome home, Stan. On the top row following Coach is Philip Pierce, another newcomer this year, who is the coach of the HBH squad. lt's his job to build 'kcharacter,', as he terms it, in the fellows who aren't quite ready for the HAH squad. Pierce holds the same position in basketball that he holds during the football season. The upper right picture shows Fred Kohoutek, another teacher who gives his free time to the aspir- ing young VVarriors. Kohoutek must teach the green players the fundamentals of the game of football, and this is no easy task. ln the third picture from the left in the lower row is Doug Evans. Doug, when not taping up the first squad for games, also has the job of teaching the fundamentals. E. T. Hanson in the lower right is the assistant track coach. If you chance over to the track during football practice you'll find HHans putting the fall track men through their paces. Though little publicized, these assistant coaches are a main factor behind the successes of the VVar- rior teams. www, Hi: W wmwmw we .-w , .w9ww..1.w,m iv- M-mn ,- Wm Wilma, wrench Ms ig 1 Ld : ..lr .A ,.

U55 oczf :Rauma The Warriors succeeded in regaining the confer- ence crown which they were unable to capture the year before from Yankton. In doing this feat the Warriors played five conference games. Three were played at home. The deciding conference game was played on the Warriors' home gridiron against Huron. Another outstanding feature of this undefeated record is the fact that the Woodmen won from both of the Sioux City teams. This is the first time since 1921 that this has happened. At the beginning of the season seventeen lettermen reported for practice. As in the preceding seasons, practice started on August 25th. The first week was spent on calisthenics and familiarization with the type of play used by Coach Wood. At the con- clusion of the season thirty monograms were awarded to the fellows who played enough to earn one. Graduation will take all but twelve of the lettermen. This will mean that Coach Wood will have a great deal of rebuilding to do for next year. The HB team played in the Big Eight Conference this year and finished with a .500 per cent score. In their games they beat Hurley 27-O, and Parker 13-7, but they lost to Lennox 20-0 and also to Dell Rapids 19-0. From this squad many will move up to the HA squad to help make up other great Warrior teams. .ei Vlflzcfafsczfacf As for scoring, the Warriors scored 218 points to their opponents' 38. That gives a good idea as to the reason the Woodmen were undefeated. Games in review: Sioux Falls 27-Madison O. Opening the season against the Madison Bulldogs, the Warriors met a light opponent. The game was fairly good for the early date of September 5th, but many mistakes were made. The Woodmen, from twenty yards or more, scored all but one of their touchdowns. Sioux Falls 26-Rapid City 0. This game provided a little stronger foe to the Warriors. The invaders rolled up IO first downs to the Warriors' 11, but the opponents were unable to cross into the Wood- men's pay dirt. Engen was the main spark in the powerful Warrior grid machine. As in the first game, a score was made every period. Sioux Falls 38-Flandreau Indians 6. The next foe to fall before the rapidly strengthening Orange and Black team was the Indian team. In this game the Warriors made fewer mistakes, but the ones made proved costly. The visitors caused much ex- citement and worry by their long passes. The score- a-quarter campaign was kept intact by the Sioux in this game as in the previous games. Sioux Falls 25-W2lfCft0XX'H 6. A quick touchdown after only four plays made it look like it would be an easy night for the Warriors, but the Arrows had different ideas. The other scores of the Woodmen came not from quick long runs but by power football. ln the third period the home team was unable to push across a counter, and their score-a-quarter string was broken. The speed and downfield blocking of the VVarriors seemed to improve more each week. Sioux Falls 19-lllitchell 6. Packing up from their home field, the Warriors moved over to the Kernels, field to add another conference victory to their list. ln this game, as in the previous one, the Warrior attack was a powerful ground attack. Engen and Gunderson had little trouble in finding the holes made by the heavier YVarrior line. The fine field generalship of Clyde Terry showed up in this game as in others, as the Orange and Black team moved through the Mitchell line. Sioux Falls 25-Aberdeen 0. After a week's ab- sence from the field of battle, the YVarriors journeyed to Aberdeen to try for another conference scalp. The rest showed its effects as the YVarriors showed Hne ball handling and efficient blocking. ln this contest the Woodmen proved that they could also give a few pointers in the art of passing. Again it was Engen and Co-captain Gunderson leading the way. The picture below is a typical picture of the WVarriors in action. The combination of Engen 146D around end with Gunderson f58j blocking was a familiar sight to the Huron players during this hard fought game. The hard running of Engen all through the season made a sad story to all Woodmetfs opponents because he had the ability Sioux Falls 25-Sioux City Central 13. Oh, happy day! Sweet revenge! On Orange Letter Day the YVarriors met the little Rlaroons and set them down in defeat. This was a great day for the line. They kept the high scoring alike Noonan bottled up all evening. The VVarrior backs again proved their speed by overtaking the Sioux City speed star after he had shaken loose from the line. Gunderson pro- vided an added thrill by crashing 68 yards into pay dirt. Sioux Falls Ing-HUYOH O. The game needed to cinch the conference crownl This is the game which Coach Wood classes as the best game played by his charges all season. His reason was that the team proved that they could get themselves in a hole and work themselves out of it. ln winning this hard fought game from Huron, the VVarriors won the title for the sixth time in eight years. Sioux Falls 20-Sioux City East 7. Hopping the bus, the undefeated Warriors invaded Sioux City hoping to add the Black Raiders to their list of victories. Again as in their other games, the VVood- men went to work at the opening kickoff. Before the first quarter had ended, two XVarrior scores had been made. The forward wall of the YVoodmen was like stonework. The Warriors for the first time since 1921 were able to beat both Sioux City teams in the same season. This was a grandioso finish for an even greater season. of breaking away for long gains when they were needed. VVhen the center of the Huron line became too tough it was softened up by the hard crashing Gunderson. The final outcome of this title-clinching game was Sioux Falls 13, Huron 0.

The opponents in this game were the Mitchell cagers. Ken Kessinger is the other Warrior in the picture. The Washingtcmn Warriors opened their basketball season December 2, by meeting the Luverne Cardi- nals. It was the usual opening game with many mistakes. The final score was 29 for Sioux Falls- I7 for Luverne. The next game on December I2 was against Estherville, and an overtime had to be played, Can overtime was also played with this foe the year be- forel but the final outcome was 30 for the Warriors, 25 for Estherville. lyloving into the conference games, the Woodmen met the Brookings Bobcats December I3 and set them down in defeat 21 to 16. .lourneying to lVIitchell on January 6 to carry on their battle for the conference crown the Warriors played a very erratic game and were defeated 37 to 21 by the Kernels. Sioux City Central invaded the home court Janu- ary 9 only to fall before the Orange and Black sharpshooters 34 to 19. The Woodmen seemed more settled and surer in their play in this game than ever before. Entering into the conference play again the War- riors met the strong Aberdeen Eagles January 16. After a very hard fought game Washington High added another conference victory with the score of 42 to 34. NOFZXIETEVZCE On January 24, thrilling the crowd every minute, the Warriors battled Sioux City point for point until in the last seconds of play a lucky shot dropped through the hoop to end this thrill-packed game in favor of the Black Raiders of Sioux City, 34 to 33. Returning home to play the Madison Bulldogs, on January 27, the Warriors put down the invaders to the tune of 4,6 to 35. The defensive play of the Woodmen was very good, as Madison had to do most of its scoring from a great distance. Another conference game was played on the night of January 30 against Yankton. The Warriors had a hard battle on their hands but were able to add another conference scalp by winning 36 to 26. Travelling to Huron February 6 to meet the strong Tigers, the Warriors drew ahead of Huron in the conference races by one game in winning 42 to 33. This was the long trip because after playing Huron the Woodmen continued on to Aberdeen. In a hard-played game the Warriors kept their thin hold on the leadership of the conference by winning 34 to 24. On February 19, the Warriors again met the Nladison team, and this time the Bulldogs on their home court sent the conference leaders down in de- feat, 25,to 21. This defeat left its sting with the Warriors. -M-...,,q N f----..... 4 w fwud,-m...M.,, Y h f ,, X, Q15 LM. fig .?,gqQigE A mf nr' f:'EQiTLfEl,?1l4 fr X -Wai,,qzgsggiggfgizf .

AL, ww ffafayafzs In the top row, left to right, the first action picture is of Captain Allan landing after a broad jump. All during his high school track career the broad jump was his most con- sistent winning event. The second picture shows Don Kruck following through after he has released the discus. Don is also a football player who is a member of the weight squad of the track team. The third picture shows Bob Mathers breaking the tape ahead of the others in this relay race. The high flyer in the first picture in the middle row is Dick jones. Dick was a consistent point winner in the pole vault event. The second picture in the middle row is of the start of the mile relay. The fourth starter from the right is Stockwell, who is carrying the baton for the Warriors. The fellow in the third picture of the middle row is Chuck Gregg. Chuck is an up and coming shot-putter. It looks like work, and it isg just ask Chuck about it. In the first picture of the lower row is Justin Berger breaking the tape yards ahead of his opponents. -lusty was one of the fastest men in the state and often carried off top honors in the events he entered. The second shot in the lower row is of Captain Allan putting on the final drive to carry him to victory. As Captain, Don has filled his job well, because he often sparked the team to victory. The last picture is of justin Berger. This time -lusty just didn't have that last needed drive to close the gap, but he came in a close second. incfe The 194.1 season of track for the Washington High School Warriors opened with the team's going to Aberdeen for the Aberdeen Relays. As this was their hrst meet of the season, there was a degree of uncertainty about the strength of the squad. Because of the heavy toll taken by gradu- ation the VVarriors were not too impressive. After the Aberdeen Relays, Ccach Wood had a better idea of the class and ability of the mem- bers of the track squad. Upon the return, Coach began to get the team better organized and started keying them for the Dakota Relays. On lVIay 2, the seventeenth running of the Dakota Relays started. The Warriors gave a far better showing at this meet. Captain Allan won the high school broad jump, setting a new record. In the 440 yard relay, the Warrior speedsters Higgins, lhlathers, Berger, and Allan pushed the Sioux City Central team, but were unable to capture first place. The tracksters won three third placingsg one by Berger in the century run, one by the half-mile relay team, consisting of Gregg, Mathers, Berger, and Allan, and one by Jones in the pole vault. Although this was not a too colorful showing, it gave encouragement to the boys and their loyal followers. One w-eek after the Dakota Relays the Sioux speedboys piled up a total of 36 points in the Regional Track Meet, against their nearest rivalls total of 13. Again Captain Allan sparked the team by winning two firsts. He won the Ioo yard dash and his old standby, the broad-jump. Chuck Gregg turned in a first in the shot-put. The top picture shows a dead heat finish in the one hundred yard dash. The fourth sprinter from the left is Captain Allan. Don proved to be a standout in this event all during his track career in high school. This picture was taken at the State Track Meet. The lower picture is of Justin Berger as he broke the tape in the Regional meet. Hjustyl' has been an outstanding trackman for the Warriors all during his four years in school. OLLI2 Eli The half-mile team, composed of Stockwell, Gamberg, llflarkley, and Mathers, carried off the honors in this event. Berger, trying hard to get another Hrst, had to be satisfied with a second in the 220 dash. He was followed closely by Austin, who placed fourth. Jones took second in the vault and Gamberg fourth in the 440 yard dash. The Woodmen entered the State hieet as the underdogs, with a powerful Aberdeen team doped to sweep the nieet. The Warriors put up a stub- born defense of their state title. The mile relay was the deciding event. Aberdeen led the War- riors by only points when this race started. lt was a nip-and-tuck battle, with Aberdeen crossing the tape only a scant distance ahead of the VVarrior crew. Coach VVood's half-mile team again came home Hrst. Captain Allan placed third in the IOO yard dash. It was a dead heat finish. Gregg placed third in the shot-put event and Berger fourth in the 220 yard dash. The VVarriors surprised the pre-meet experts by giving such a strong showing. The Eastern South Dakota Conference Meet at Yankton was almost a repetition of the State lleet. The Warriors lost another heart breaker to th-e Aberdeen Eagles. Again, as in the State Meet, the title hinged on the outcome of the mile relay, and again Aberdeen broke the tape ahead of the Warriors. It must be remembered that this year marked the start of a nucleus for future teams. Although not as brilliant as some, the season was very creditable to the record of Coach Wood and VVashington High. The speedster going over the hurdle is Red Allan. A few seconds after the picture was taken Don fell when he had the race almost won, thus proving that races aren't won until the tape is broken. The middle picture gives one a good idea what a person looks like as he uses the roll type of high jumping. The fellow at the right is Doug Evans and his job was to keep a record of the jumpers. In the lower left hand corner is a view of an Aberdeen trackman crossing the finish line ahead of a VVarrior. The Warrior trying so hard to close the gap is Kenny Higgins. The very striking pose in the lower right is of Don Kruck just after he had thrown the shot-put. During the last few weeks of summer a tennis tournament was held in Sioux Falls to find two high school hoys to represent Vvashington High School in the High School Tennis Tournament held at Brookings. The two to win this honor were Dick Arnston and Rohert Harum. Our team ran into difficulty at Brookings. Holi Harum was defeated by Carlson of VVatertown in the semi-finals. His teammate, Dick Arnston, reached the finals by playing excellent tennis on wind-swept courts. ln the final round, Dick met Carlson hut was unahle to revenge Harum's defeat and took the runner-up position. This is the last season for the XVatertown player, who won first. lt Harum improves hetween this year and next, heware all VVarrior opponentsl Two golfers came through the city high school golf matches to earn places on the school team. The two who accomplished this feat were Gerhen HDutch Coehoorn and Virgil Sandyig. XVhen they played at Brookings, their playing was not up to expecta- tions, and they were unable to bring home any trophies. Although the two did not win the tournament, 'i'Dutch did cause some excitement when he shot a one hundred thirty-five yard hole-in-one. In the upper right is Dick Arnston, State Runner-up in tennis. Below him is his teammate Hob Harum. In the pictures at the bottom of the page are, left to right, Gerben Dutch Coehoorn and Virgil Sandvig, VVashing- ton High's participants in golf. Owzfi ana!

The course was first launched in Wzlsliington High School four years ago by the girls, Physical Education instructors, lllisses Virginia Pettigrew and hlarion Bartholomew. Since that time the course has been enlarged sev- eral times to take care of the increased enrollment. Classes are held once a week, and any upper class- man having a free period on Friday may register for the course. Typical activities offered in Co-Rec are basketball, volleyball, softball, dancing and mixed-doubles tournaments in recreational games. Because of the differences in the strength and playing ability, the rules for team sports have been modified to talce care of both girls and boys. Being good sports, the girls accustom themselves to boys' rules in volleyball and the fellows conform to girls' rules in basketball. Little emphasis is placed on muscle-buildingg instead, cooperation and skills are stressed. ln addition to the development of skills, Co-Rec plays a large part in the shaping of personality and in the building of poise. Directing activities for the past year were lllisses Danforth and Evenson, Girls' Physical Education instructors. The above pictures will give an idea as to the activities offered in Cn-Recreation. Vpper left, a mixed-doubles badminton game in progress. Upper right, shuffleboard holds the interest of Bernard Koplow, Lillian Nelson, Corlie Vonberg and Bob Ban, shown from left to right.

The majority of the classes consist of freshmen, but many upperclassmen are to be found in the advanced classes. Restricted classes are conducted for those who are physically unable to take regular gymnasium worl-I. Activities in the girls' gym are supervised by the instructors, Elinor Danforth, Grinnell College grad- uate, and hlarjorie Evenson, who came from the University of South Dakota. The program for the past year included instruc- tion in volleyball, basketball, rhythm, recreational games, kittenball, apparatus operations and tumbling. Following each of these units the girls are given written and practical tests. ln the other gym, the boys may be found partici- pating in a heated game of basketball. volleyball, or softball. ln addition, much emphasis is placed on the Hcontactl' sports, boxing and wrestling, and on the muscle-building maneuvers on apparatus, and tumbling. A unit on recreational games is also in- cluded in the program. During the past year, eight teams entered the in- tramural basketball competition. The f'Athletics,' emerged the victors of this Round-Robinn tourna- ment. Douglas Evans and Don Evans acted as the supervisors in the boys! Physical Education programs during the past season.

Boasting a membership of nearly one hundred enthusiastic girls, the club has completed another eventful year. Following the program of past years, tournaments in basketball, volleyball, and kittenhall were played. ln addition, a unit on recreational games was in- stituted in the fall, and in the spring apparatus and tumbling tests were given. Girls may earn points by participation in those activities. Awards are made according to the total number of points a girl has earned. Although the main emphasis is placed on activities in the gymnasium, the organization also has many social events throughout the year. Outstanding of these were the Farmer party held in the fall to welcome the new freshman members, the Swimming party at the Y in chilly November, the Theatre party Cremember that mystery-thriller?j, the Christ- mas party, a Bowling party and, climaxing the sea- son, the annual Spring Banquet. The Candy Nookf, owned and operated by the G. A. A., is the only means of defraying expenses, but it has proved to be a success.

The Army, the Navy, the Air Corps, Selective Service, industry, and every community make con- tinuous restatement of the fact that the young men of America are lacking in physical fitness. The di- rector of Selective Service said, About fifty per cent of the approximately 2,000,000 registrants who have been examined for induction into the Army of the United States under the Selective Training and Service Act of 19.1.0 have been disqualified because of physical, mental, or educational reasons. Of the approximately 1,000,000 rejected, 900,000, or about Q0 per cent, were found to be physically or mentally unfitf' Some most common causes of this unfitness were organic deficiencies. But the Selective Service ex- aminations did not take into consideration the lack Lower right, the VVarriors have committed a foul, and Aberdeen is shown taking the gift shot. The Warriors in the picture are No. 17, Arnie Bauerg No. 16, Bob Engeng and No. 20, Gordy Rensberger. In football the Warriors were undefeated, won the Eastern South Dakota Conference Crown, and in basket- ball they tied for the Eastern South Dakota Conference Basketball Crown. In track in 1941, they were runners-up for the title. This fine record of the VVarrior teams is one to be envied by all and is a goal for future teams. of strength, all-around physical sluggishness, and lack of flexibility, which would not show up in the ordinary medical examinations. The sports pictured provide creative, morale- building, socially meaningful, and physically suitable recreational opportunities for our fellow students. It is particularly important that those of us who partake in these activities try to do our bit to serve our country in these three distinct ways: improve our own physical fitness, become equipped to assume physical and recreational leadership in military and community services, and prepare for the reconstruc- tion services in the postwar period. Here at Washington High we have a solid athletic background. Let's make the most of itl 3006 go ff' 'C D-5, .1 K -6 cqffsfz g own Orange Letter Day-play, work, enjoyment, but work . . .

Well-planned and carried out by a student committee, the day moved rapidly from one event to the next. In expectation of the events to follow, the students labored through their morning classes while the minutes seemed to crawl around the clock. At II :I 5 when the long awaited coronation ceremony was to take place, the students took their seats in the audi- torium. There, in nervous anticipation, they awaited the approach of the royalty, Suzanne Grigsby, Phyllis Harum, Dorothy Simons, Marilyn Stark, Bernice Wangsness, Arnie Bauer, John Markley, Dan Mc- Kinnon. Wayne Sandvig, and Doug Weck. The candidates proceeded to the stage to the dignified strains of the coronation march. There, amid the thunderous applause of the audience, Phyllis Harum was crowned Queen and Arnie Bauer was presented the Marshal's scepter. Our Queen and Marshal! The afternoon began with the distribution of the Orange Letter Day favors in the various homerooms. This was followed by a rousing Pep Rally held in the auditorium. There the enthusiastic audience was entertained by the band, community singing, and a very clever short skit staged by some of the stu- dents. Don Draeger, the witty master of ceremonies, again introduced the royalty who were seated in the first row of the balcony. a float. Prizes were given to the most beautiful, won by the Quill and Scrollg the most humorous, by the Biology Club, and the most original, taken by the Library Club. Preceded by the band in their flashy red and grey uniforms, the royalty rode in open cars. As it moved down Phillips Avenue, the parade made a colorful spectacle. A display of fireworks began the evening's activi- ties at the Howard Wood Stadium. The football game with Sioux City Central aroused the fighting spirit in every student. After a hard-fought battle the Warriors were victorious by a score of 25-13. Halftime entertainment was provided by the band, with unique maneuvers revealing red, white and blue lights against a darkened field. The day was climaxed by the Orange Letter Day dance which followed. Although everyone was having the most possible fun there were also many sad thoughts, for this would be the last homecoming for a great many of us! However, these thoughts did not long have a place in our minds, for there was too much happiness, and this day will long be remembered as the perfect homecoming. For the students and townspeople the afternoon's activities ended in a parade in which every club and organization of the school participated, each entering riff X ff?

The enter- tainers, consisting of ,stage crew, ensemble, staff, stooges and stars, numbered, in all, fifty-five. A brief resume of the play was as follows: a conga scene, the music furnished by Pee Wee Victor's Band, a comic dialogue, taking place in the bedroom of a wealthy family, a band presentation, a night club entertainment of artistic rhumba, a lovely waltz scene with singing and dancing effectively combined, and the dramatic, patriotic finale. Be- tween all the scenes the Masters of Ceremonies dis- closed their adaptability, with the help of stooges, in clever skits. FLYIN' HIGH will be remembered by all as an outstanding performance!

Dances compose the most numerous outside, all- school social events in the high school. The biggest dances are usually the following: the College Club's Christmas Formal, held during the holidays, Orange Letter Day, taking place on the night of Home- coming, the Girl Reserves' Spinster, only reverse- date dance of the year, the Dramatic Club's Sweet- heart dance and the only Costume Ball, sponsored by the Art Department. There are several other dances which are just as much fun, but do not have as large an attendance.
