Weatherwax High School - Quinault Yearbook (Aberdeen, WA)

Seniors The school year 1934-35 was no mere “flash in the pan” for Weatherwax. This year will always be remembered for the institution of a number of valuable additions to student activities and class arrangements. Probably the most important and successful juncture of the year was the Activities Ticket Plan. This, enabling the students to purchase their student body tickets in weekly installments of ten cents, was a most worthwhile innovation, and will undoubtedly be continued. In conjunction with the Activities Ticket Plan, Aberdeen joined the Northwest High School Assemblies, Inc. This organization consists of a great number of Northwestern high schools who agree to sponsor traveling entertainment troupes for special assemblies, free to students with activity tickets, and available to the general public at a nominal price. Due to this arrangement, Aberdeen played host to some of the finest entertainment available on the Pacific coast. Through the courtesy of station KXRO, the high school availed itself of the opportunity of a much wider public contact, in the form of a weekly broadcast. These broadcasts usually consisted of music, dialogues, and speeches, reflecting the aims and results of high school education. These programs were presented by both students and teachers. Another new venture that promises to live is the High School Columns. These columns, printed bi-weekly in the Aberdeen World, have served a twofold purpose. They have given the high school a medium through which the parents of the students may be reached. In this respect, the Columns is not unlike the school radio broadcasts. Columns has also given students with strong journalistic aspirations a chance to expose themselves to the elements of the profession. The new guidance program, introducing Home Room Period, has proved its worth. Its purpose of guiding the students along proper educational, social, and vocational channels has been carried out. There is no doubt about the continuation in years to come of these five additions to the school life of 1934-35. They have been valuable moves. [ Twenty-seven ]

The Quinault staff regrets that among those limited items have been mention of Senior Dress-Up, certain spring sports, and productions, and the announcement of activities. We were handicapped also in the selection of pictures for dress-up. The staff hopes in another year’s edition to make all possible amends. ( Twenty-six ]

Juniors The class of ’36 entered high school with three hundred fifteen members and i n our sophomore year were guided b y Miss Pang-born. Our first year was highlighted by the Sophomore H o p and Armistice Day assembly. Some of the boldest of us even got into some major sports, like football, basketball and track. We showed real class. Coming back the next year as juniors we lorded over the little “sophs.” Miss Arnell was chairman of the Junior Advisory Board and she helped us over many rough spots. Our officers for the year were: President, Jim Dolan; Vice President, Ray Casterline; Treasurer, Lawry Gilbreath; Secretary, Robert Rasanen; Board of Control Representative, Sam Manuel; Yell Leader, Harvey Travis. The juniors helped the seniors with the Barn Dance and Formal. The junior assembly on April Fool’s Day was done chiefly on impersonations of well-known classmates around school, Nadine Phelps’ take-off on Albert Albino; Harold Cady’s impersonation of Andrew Winberg; the junior band; NIta Cole’s operatic trilling; Lillian Anderson’s report on the history class; Allen Alburty and Elmer Aleshire’s take-off on Glen and Toby; the gagmen, Duane Cheney and Ralph Krantz; the grand style show of latest creations; and the announcer, Gilbert Trekas, all added greatly to the high spirits around school. The faculty advisers were: Miss Fuller, Miss Rohrer, and Mr. Rayl. The assembly committee consisted of: Nadine Phelps, Gilbert Trekas, Farley Utes, Robert Rasanen, Leonard Bastin, Norman Street, Francis Meyers, Lauri Embom, Agnes Steinback, Jim Kavaney and Harold Cady. The matinee dance following was the best matinee of the year and why shouldn’t it be when everybody was so willing to co-operate and make it a success? All in all the juniors had a very successful year. Travis, Casterline, Gilbreath, Dolan, Rasanen [ Twenty-eight ]
