LL DEDICATION To MARCELLA LAWLER who has been both friend and inspiration to us wp CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ATHLETICS FINE ARTS ACTIVITIES ADMINISTRATION CLASS OFFICERS Under the capable guidance of our principal and with the assurance that the viceprincipal and superintendent were standing by, the Board of Control has functioned very efficiently trying at all times to do what was the best for Weatherwax High School. The Board has done a good job of appropriating funds this year with so many school needs clamoring for assistance. Among the many worthwhile projects, new uniforms for the band seemed most pressing. The Board helped the band purchase new uniforms, bringing the appearance of the musicians up to the level of their excellent performance, and reflecting credit on the school. The Board appoints many committees to supervise school activities during the year. Among these is the Hi-Jinx Committee, who prepare the annual Hi-Jinx program. Much depends on the board in selecting the best possible person for supervising this important stage show. We are very grateful to this body for all the work it has done in trying to make our school an efficient institute. To you, the members of the Board of Control, OUR THANKS.

The mighty seniors have been an active class and have set many good examples for the seniors who will follow them. This year the seniors have chosen the San Francisco Golden Gate Exposition as their theme for Senior Week. It will be hard for later classes to put on the colorful show this theme affords them. As a token of farewell, the Juniors under the leadership of their class officers present the Commencement Dance. This has always been a very successful affair, and will doubtless live up to more glorious expectations this year. The younger members of our school, the sophomores, have been very active this year. They started quite an uproar when they refused to undergo the throes of initiation. They also organized the Play Makers. During this active year, class officers have been the guiding spirits in their classes. They have displayed true qualities of leadership that will fit them for an active life.

The championship came as the result of nine straight wins, and one defeat. The Cats were twc games ahead of their nearest competitor. The smooth working Cats tallied 133 points to their opponents' 40. Aberdeen 12 - Shelton 0—It took Aberdeen two quarters to warm up, but once the heat was turned on, the powerful Cats ran and passed their way to two touchdowns to beat Shelton in their initial game of the season. Aberdeen 31 - Port Orchard 0—Jud Graham's chargers completely outclassed a light, fast Port Orchard aggregation to the tune of 31-0. The Kitsap county boys were no match for even the lowliest subs. Aberdeen 26 - Vancouver 20—Scoring in the last 20 seconds of play, the Bobcats outlasted the Trappers in one of the most exciting games ever seen in this conference. Aberdeen 25 - Chehalis 6—The fighting Cats tempested Chehalis 25-6 in their second conference win and definitely stamped themselves as title contenders. The game was featured by lengthy touchdown gallops. Aberdeen 14 - Raymond 0—An inspired Raymond football team held the rampaging Bobcats at bay for three quarters on a fog-bound field, until the Bobcats finally came through in the last four minutes of play with two touchdowns and conversions to match. Aberdeen 7 - Longview 0—Scoring on the third play of the game, the Bobcats were content to settle down and hold their lead, in the hardest played game of the year. Longview was last year's title holder. Aberdeen 6 - Kelso 2—Statistics show that the Bobcats completely outplayed the Kelso team though direct scores came as a result of breaks. The game was virtually swum'' on a muddy, wet, soggy gridiron. Aberdeen 6 - Centralia 0 -A 90-yard run from the kickoff in the second half proved to be the margin of victory for the Aberdeen gridders. Aberdeen 6 - Olympia 0—The Cats pushed the Olympia Bears around for 48 minutes and wound up on the long end of a 6-0 score in their annual Armistice Day classic before a large delegation of loyal Bobcat supporters. Aberdeen 0 - Hoquiam 12—The Bobcats just couldn't get going and went down to defeat at the hands of the Hoquiam Grizzlies on the ever popular Thanksgiving Day tussle. The game was played before a record-breaking crowd in the newly erected Olympic Stadium. The defeat was the Bobcats' first, and incidentally, only defeat, which robbed them of their claim to the mythical State Championship. The Aberdeen team placed three men on the All Southwest squad this year, Norman Newman, Lloyd Wickett, and Peter Bakotich. Many more were also chosen as second stringers and given honorable mention honors. At the close of the season, trophies were awarded Lloyd Wickett and B.ll Russell, captain of the team. Wickett was awarded the John Mashin Memorial ring, and Bill Russell was awarded the Perry Clark trophy and George Savage Memorial trophy. The 1938-39 season will always be remembered and looked back upon as one of the most successful in the school's gridiron history. [ 30 ] RANUM MILETTA MAJOR EKLUND ACKER Basketball Hail to another successful basketball season experienced by the Aberdeen high School basketball team! Winners in 16 out of 22 games, the Bobcats defeated the cream of the crop in the State of Washington, winding up the season in third place in the Southwest Washington Conference, Northern Division. Credit to Coaches Fenenga and Mills. That second Hoquiam game will never be forgotten in the hearts of the Aberdeen fans. The boys came from behind to tie the state champions in the final minute of play, only to lose in a thrilling overtime by two foul shots. There were five Seniors on the squad: Captain Bill Mattson, Forrest Balcombe, Sam Elway, Bill Palmer, and Rudy Kauhanen. We'li never forget Bill Mattson's 19 points in the Olympia game, Sam Elway's rally in the second Hoquiam game, Forrest Balcombe's fine floor work throughout the season, Rudy Kauhanen's saving of the Montesano game, or Bill Palmer's howitzers in the Raymond tussle. Kanney Blumberg, John Marunovich, Wes Freed, Bill Wilson, Jack Woods, and Bob Eggan, all Juniors, helped the season to be a great success. Les Berry, Tony Bezer, Jack Bowley, Curly Johnson, and Louis Nicholas formed the nucleus of one of the most successful Sophomore teams in years. Other members of the squad included: Stan Falk, Tony Blazina, Don Robertson, Tom Homchick, Harry Goldstein, Elmer Olson, Bill Hall, and Glenn Appleyard. A summary of some of the more important first team games: Aberdeen 33 - Bremerton 31—With the lead see-sawing back and forth, the two teams fought a desperate battle, with the Bobcats finally coming out on top. Aberdeen 31 - Centralia 18—After a tough battle the Bobcats built up a commanding lead in the final quarter to coast to victory very easily. Aberdeen 29 - Kelso 27—After losing the lead, the Cats came from far behind to win in the overtime period. Aberdeen 31 - Longview 33—The Bobcats lost their first game to the team which ranked third at the state tournament. The Aberdeen team had a six-point lead with a minute and a half to go, only to fall victims to a desperate Longview rally. Aberdeen 29 - Shelton 19—Aberdeen opened the conference season with a convincing victory over the Highclimbers. Victory was not sure until the final quarter. Aberdeen 32 - Montesano 25—Leading all the way, the Bobcats stopped a strong Bulldog rally to win going away. Aberdeen 34 - Raymond 32—In one of the most hectic games of the season the Cats had to put on the heat to win in the final minutes of play. Aberdeen 12 - Hoquiam 30—Completely outclassed, the Aberdeen team lost the first of their two conference tilts with the state champs from the other side of Myrtle Street. Aberdeen 36 - Olympia 34—In a very thrilling game the Bobcats were forced into an overtime game to come out on top. Aberdeen 26 - Raymond 37—The Aberdeen team hit the skids to bow in defeat to a determined squad of Raymond Seagulls. A late rally proved futile. Aberdeen 28 - Elma 24—In the final minutes the Sophomores were called in to break up a desperate deadlock. In so doing, they served notice to look out for next year's Bobcats.

BARRY NICHOLAS n V ' ft BOWLEY IOHNSON { fti M OLSON L FALK Rifle The year 1939 has found rifle shooting in Weatherwax High making many steps forward in the promotion of high school competition in the state. Rifle shooting had a la'e start this year, but it has gained considerably in its rank in spite of this. The team placed high in the Class A division in national competition this year. This year happened to be one of the lower points in our rifle shooting cycle. Several facts contributed to this condition which are worth mentioning. First, the nucleus of last year's state champions graduated without leaving anyone upon which to build ihis year's squad. Secondly, no response was shown by the school and very few oeople turned out regularly. Lastly, the matches were postponed and the program in general was disrupted, causing those who were turning out to lose interest. Only Richard Layng, Marian Hunt, and Bob Preble will be lost from the team by graduation. The returning shooters should include Warren Styner, Dale Anderson, Harold Johnson, Marvin Reiner, Bob Forbes, Ed Hulbert, and manager, Ralph Brasfield. Such a large number returning means that for the next few years the standards of rifle shooting will be raised and Weatherwax High should be producing stronger teams. We of the rifle team appreciate greatly the help and instruction given us by Chuck Alburty, who consented to act as our coach this year, and wish to thank him sincerely. Tennis With win following win in rapid succession, the Bobcat tennis team, coached by Miss Gibb, finished the 1939 season among the leaders. Probably the toughest match of the schedule was the championship game with their foe from across the Myrtle Street line. The loss from graduation last year was nominal, and yet badly felt. The loss was lessened considerably, however, by the addition of Bill Palmer, Weatherwax's gain from Vancouver. This, plus the general improvement in playing strength of each of the players, often brought forth sensational play. The doubles matches were exceptionally good, with ability and well-coordinated play sweeping aside all opposition. There were seven seniors on the year's team: Bob Collinson, Don McKay, Bill Palmer, and Bob Preble on the boys' team; and the girls' team, Bonnie Carey, Doris Mannion, and Barbara Schumacher. Three juniors had places on the team: Bud Donovan, Julia Scallcn, and Warren Styner. One sophomore found a place, Emma Lou Keegan. If interest continues to grow at its present rate, Aberdeen's future teams will soon be far stronger than any in the Pacific Northwest. This growth v ill be stunted, however, unless proper facilities are provided for play. As a whole the Bobcat team finished a brilliant season with the championship match undoubtedly being one of the most thrilling games in which most of the players have ever taken part. Golf Keep your head down, shift that weight, keep your eye on the ball, and don't iorget to follow through. This cry comes echoing over the fairway as the golf team of Weatherwax swings into action! Among the minor sports on the Weatherwax schedule, golf is beginning to be recognized more and more as one of the important activities on the school calendar. This year for the very first time in the history of our school, golf has been organized into a complete Southwest Washington league, and this year for the first time a golf championship was recognized among the teams playing. In this new Southwest Washington league there are eight teams which compete for the championship, among which are Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Raymond, Chehalis, Centralia, Longview, Kelso, and Vancouver. The members of the team are as follows: John Chamberlain, Bob Schmidt, Stewart Armour, Dick Stouffer, Jack Watkins, Ed Hulbert, Jim Yuskoff, Bob Shapton, and Boyd Donley. An intramural tournament was held at Oakridge Golf Course on April 18 to determine the champion of Weatherwax High and to see who would receive the honor of having his name put on the Kiwanis Club Trophy. This honor was bestowed upon Bob Palmer. Besides this award, eighteen golf balls were given away for the Low Gross, Net Gross, and Hidden Hole. Twelve boys entered this tournament. [ 34 ] Track Although they were hampered by a number of terrific disadvantages, the blue and gold thin-clads made a very impressive showing on the cinder paths of Southwest Washington. The tracksters trained very hard on a half completed field, with the dash men unable to run time trials and the distance men having great difficulty building up their endurance. Coach Flora did a fine job with a squad containing but few lettermen and numbering only four Seniors. The first meet of the season found the Bobcats placing eighth in a field ot twenty-six at the ninth running of the Centralia Relays. Although the team placed third in a triangular meet with the strong Stadium and Olympia teams, highlights of the meet were provided by Ed Fitzpatrick, who placed in four events to take high scoring honors, and Jack McGuire, who made good in his first interscholastic mile by running away from the field. Boys making up the traveling squad included: Clifford Hammer, Don Dahlstul, James Jones, Jack Puljan, John Svicarovich, Bill Smith, Bob Bowerman, Jack Hatley, Dan Williams, Don Williams, lack Kearney, Jack McGuire, Ed Fitzpatrick, Morris Jones, Albert Jarrell, Bob Trager, Howard Hopkins, Jack Ford, Mike Missel, Bob Gustafson, Fred Messmer. Managers were Bob Charette, Bert Damm, and Fred Hepner. Swimming In this record smashing league a team of mostly green recruits is a problem to any coach. Yet Coach Husky Fowler turned out some of the best swimmers in the Conference. With the material at hand Aberdeen placed third in the State. The freestylers on the team were Bob Trager, Bob Hammond, Bob Collinson, Bob Parks, Gordon Hood, Don Stark, Arthur Nieme, and Mac Macmillan. The breaststrokers were Bob Preble and Charles Bayha. The divers were Tony Manditch and Dale Treece. The backstrokers were Bob Wake, Jack Russeil, and Tyson Jones, the Captain of the team. Throughout the season the Bobcats were beset by injuries and sickness. But by working hard they were able to win four and tie one out of eleven meets. This team was only beaten twice during the entire season. All during the last few meets the fellows were in fine shape and were able to defeat two of the toughtest teams in the league and to place consistently in every event in the State Meet. The only overnight trip was to Longview and Vancouver. At Longview the Cats were defeated by the narrow margin of two points. The following day the team went to Vancouver to make up for the loss. They trimmed the Trappers by a large score. So now with all of the recruits veterans and only a few lettermen graduating the Aberdeen team should be one of the formidable in the conference and in a few years should be State Champions. Baseball Although hindered by many red lights and detours, this year's baseball, like many other spring sports, hit a new high. At a coaches' meeting last winter, a Southwest Washington high school league was formed, being the first in this region for several years and making baseball look more like the national sport it is. Aberdeen, Kelso, Centralia, Shelton, Longview, and Olympia are the teams that comprise the league. The teams played each other twice during the season. It is hoped that this league will cause the sport to grow in favor with the public until it will rival football in popularity. In spite of the new interest in baseball, Coach Mills' Aberdeen Bobcats got off to a bad start, losing two practice games to Elma, and their first three league games before finally downing the Centralia Tigers 9-4. The members of the traveling squad are as follows: Pitchers, Bill Wilson, Ralph Thompson, and Bill Lieth; catcher, Les Barry; first base, Carter Hitt second base, Roger Balcombe; third base, Bert Weston short stop, Eddie Blonski; fielders, Harold Seeley, Johnny Zelasko, Roy Gustafson, Jack Bowley, Wes Freed, Don Whitmer, and Louis Nicholas. The manager was Harry Weber, and the assistant managers, Kenny Arthund and Bill Bonallo. Don Seeley was assistant coach. A good beginning to perhaps a new era in Southwest Washington baseball, we hope the new league will have unlimited success in the years to come. t 3G ] Girls Athletics Influenced by the objectives of the G. A. A. to further girls interest in recreation, group spirit, sportsmanship, and to create a permanent interest in sports, girls athletics has attained a height all its own in the activities of Weatherwax girls. Offered a seemingly unlimited list of sports, the girls responded enthusiastically to win points for letters, and for the sheer enjoyment gained from athletic competition. High lights of the year were the two play days, the first being held at Olympia and the second at Centralia and Chehalis. The cost of sending the girls to Olympia is paid by the G. A. A. but each girl was charged twenty-five cents for the trip to Centralia and Chehalis. Ten girls went each time to the program of games, swimming, entertainment, and luncheon. The first sport of the year was an inter-class tournament in volleyball, with the senior team coming out the champs and the juniors running a close second. Zella Mandich managed the volleyball team this year. Basketball turn-outs started November 2 and continued until December 15. The playoffs to determine the winners were held the week of December 19, and the winning team proved to be the Juniors. Dolores Burton managed this branch of the program. The ping-pong tournament took place in October and November with sixty girls taking part, each girl receiving five points for turning out and five points for each game won. The winner of Ihe tournament received seventy-five points with the runner receiving fifty. The tournament was won by Doris Mannion, with Shirley Balch as runner-up. Ping-pong manager was Rita Mannion. About fifty girls turned out for the badminton tournament. The G. A. A. bought shuttles. No practice was held unless the girls provided their own shuttles. Julia Scallon acted as manager for this activity. The winner of the tournament was Dolores Burton, with Jacqueline Balch as runner-up. All of the Sophomore girls participated in the archery tournament. The first elimination was held in the gym. The remainder of the tournament was held on the lawn. The face of the target was painted by the girls in the gym classes. Swimming this year wasn't so very successful because the girls had to walk to the Natatorium and the water, on Mondays especially, was too cold; but nevertheless, about fifteen girls made the team. And so, summing up the girls athletics for the year, we find that sports for girls are ever increasing in Weatherwax High. And each year, with the new group of incoming Sophomore girls, a fresh spirit prevails again in our school, making each year a little bigger and better than the one before it, spreading a volume of untiring pep, sportsmanship, and good will that is always difficult to equal the year that follows. f 38 ] Yell An entirely new yell staff opened the 1938-39 pep program, and for the first time in Weatherwax history, three song queens led the school songs at games and rallies, and with the rest of the staff, followed the team on every trip of the football season. An unusually peppy year of school spirit predominated, and after the Bobcats had won for themselves the title of Southwest Washington Champions, the staff put on their biggest effort of the year in the way of a celebration assembly. Yell King Jack Brecht was ably assisted by Bill Bennett and Don Whitmer as dukes, Judy Emerson, Pauline Hathaway and Jane Kullander as song queens. The trophy winners of the year were Lloyd Wickett, absent from picture above, but who won the coveted John Mashin Memorial ring, Bill Russell, who won the Perry Clark trophy and George Savage Memorial trophy, and Bill Mattson, who was awarded the Herbert Wilkins trophy. t 40 ] Hi D Play Headed for Eden is the title of the play presented by the Hi D Club of 1938-1939. Those taking part in the cast were. Doris Branford, Mrs. Orpal Skipworth, who runs a boarding house; Eleanor Bryant, Imogene, a hulking maid, who belies her name; Mar-dell Wilson, Dorothy Brill, a stenographer for the furrier; John Talevich, Hank, who calls for the laundry; Beverly Johnson, Peggy Walters, a clerk in a department store; Barbara McKahn, Gladys Hermann, a mannequin; Margaret Casey, Nancy Lane, filing clerk for the Orange Fizz Co.; Helen Marie Brennan, Kate Roberts, a reporter for the Herald ; Barbara Davis, Rosina Blandish, stenographer for a brokerage firm; David Wilder, Barry Richards, Miss Blandish's employer; Marymae Partridge, Minnie Peters, a clerk at Wool-worth's; Charles Firth, pinch hitting for Bob Shapton, who was ill, Henry Banks, a truck driver; Jean Cameron, Marcella Turner, a waitress, when she has a job; Jack Kearney, Bob Roberts, Kate's brother; James Teman, Sergeant Kelly, of the Chicago Motor Cycle Police; Bob Preble, Ken Howard, a reporter on the Star ; and Leonard Juhnke, Limpy, a bit of flotsam. Six girls make their home in Mrs. Skipworth's rooming house, in South Chicago; seven, if you count Imogene, the maid. Rosina Blandish has won the interest of her employer, Barry Richards, whose attentions are beginning to look interesting. Minnie Peters, working at Woolworth's hopes to find something better to do some day. Marcell Turner's heart is really with children, but she is always hunting for a job as a waitress. Nancy Lane has just met Henry Banks, and it looks as if romance is blossoming. The others have their complications, too, but when Kate Roberts finds she is in trouble, everyone is on the job to help her. Kate's brother, Bob, has run away from his smalltown home, and is now being sought by the police. He has a good story to tell, and of course Kate, with the help of all the others, proves him innocent. I am sure enjoyable hours were spent by both the cast and the crowded audiences attending. [ 42 ] Senior Play On the night of March 30th, the curtains slowly parted upon what proved to be one of the most outstanding and successful dramatic productions in the history of Weath-erwax, the senior play! With the parting of these curtains, a hushed silence fell over the entire audience, the lights faded, and the actors began to speak their opening lines. Stage fright was put aside, lines ran smoothly, cues were timed to the second, and the first presentation of Seven Sisters was well on the way to success without a hitch. The setting for this three act play was the same throughout, the complete action taking place in the living room of the Gyurkovics' household. The furniture and accessories were befitting just such a room as this one occupied by a poor Hungarian widow and her seven daughters. The widow Gyurkovic was capably handled by Joyce Taylor. Katinka, the eldest daughter, was portrayed by Margaret Casey. Dorothy Trafton played Sari, the next in line; Ella, Eleanor Bryant; Mitzi, the high-spirited, middle daughter, Judy Emerson, and the three youngest daughters, Terka, Liza, Klara, were Enis Losli, Shirley Ann Jacobson, and Marian Hunt. Horkoy, the brains of the plot, Bim Morrison; the raging Colonel Radviany, Ken Price; Micheal Landorffy, Robert Preble; Baron Radviany, Leonard Juhnke; Janko, Paavo Timo; Toni Teleki, Bill Wilson. Each character was portrayed admirably by the actors and actresses, and they gave a splendid performance all the way through. The widow Gyurkovics succeeded in amusing the audience considerably, as did the antics of her large family. The seven sisters from the eldest down to the very youngest provided much humor and entertainment, while the male parts were played quite well. And so, with unceasing effort on the part of these players, the appropriate costuming, the setting of the stage, and the fine spirit of cooperation, the senior play, Seven Sisters, was an immense success. [ 43 1 Orchestra • Our orchestra has been one of the most concrete of organizations. It is composed of a fine group of students gathered together to try to receive some instructions on how they may improve their already fine music. The spirit of the orchestra can be marked by its determination to go ahead when the green light signals offer them the opportunity to advance. You would all realize the fine spirit that prevails over the entire organization if you could see the members go to the conservatory for evening rehearsals during the winter. Our various plays and programs could not have been a success if it had not been for the splendid cooperation of the orchestra. They filled in the place where a gap would have been between the rising of the curtains, therefore placing the rating of Weather-wax as a school of fine programs. This organization also helped to make the concerts a success as their selections were enjoyed immensely by their appreciative audience. Mr. Hjelmervik was quoted as saying that this was one of the finest groups with which he had ever worked. This is indeed an honor coming from such a sincere director. It is not possible to give all of the praise deserved to this fine, hard working group. But they must surely know they are regarded very highly in the eyes of the entire student body. We all know they will always progress when the green light signals. Band We might name our band Old Faithful, for it surely is just that. The band is the part of the music department that is interlocked most securely with the rest of the population of Weatherwax. There is something about marching feet, the blue and gold, and the tempo of band music that sets all pulses racing faster and our spirits soaring higher. The green go light was on for the band boys all year with the unceasing requests lor them to play. At football games the band played, yelled and marched with pep and vim, thus encouraging the football players. When the fog would permit, their intricate marching steps were enjoyed by all football enthusiasts. At basketball games, assemblies, and rallies, our band was always there supplying a background for our school spirit. When it comes to honors, this year has been another repetition of the other honor-filled years. But this year will be remembered and will make a milestone in the history of Weatherwax Bands. The boys obtained their long-sought uniforms through their own hard work and grand cooperation of their director, Mr. Hjelmervick, and the townspeople. The band concert was a success in every sense of the word with the boys displaying their new uniforms which are very military in appearance. We, the student body, do want to congratulate Mr. Hjelmervik and the sixty-three band boys on their fine performances. We know our band will never recognize the meaning of a stop light. Choir Resolved—to make choir the best liked music activity in school. This was the motto left behind by last year's class. This year, under the excellent leadership of Kenneth Hjelmervik, our Weatherwax A Cappella Choir has steadily marched forward. The four extremely successful concerts, and the many appearances for the service clubs of the city were met with long, loud, standing applause. Such things as this did much to pep up the already overflowing spirit of this organization. Thus the coming of spring the air was filled with talk of the Southwest Washington Music Meet. On March 25, two busloads of breathless girls and boys arrived in Olympia. They carried their new blue and gold choir robes which gave them all a feeling of assurance. At 7:30 that evening the atmosphere was charged with excitement. Last minute arrangements were made, the curtain rose, and they were on! The pitch was taken, and seventy-six voices rose in swelling harmony. The award of superior rating in Class A division was followed by a gale of joy. The bus ride home and the tired, but happy voices of the choir was the end of a perfect day, just as this is the end of a perfect year, for with the cooperation and good fellowship between our director and the members of the choir, it is indeed an organization of which we all may be justly proud. [ 44 ] A CAPPELLA CHOIR Mr. Lamb and his Physics Classes' Trip to Coulee Dam. ACTIVITIES Council of Girls Without a light to stop the hurrying throngs of girls attending C. O. G. meetings, the rush to acquire seats for the first one was on. There seems to have been green lights for the girls all through the year. After business meetings, some short and some long, there was a capable program committee to take charge and they provided the girls with excellent entertainment. The real purpose and aim of the club was not overlooked with all this entertainment. First came the party for new girls very capably handled by the Social Committee. The Junior Red Cross committee went to work and accomplished wonders. Besides their annual drive the committee of fourteen concientious girls collected baskets for needy families and brought much cheer during Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. The distribution of T. B. pins was another undertaking of these girls and the proceeds went to various sanitariums. An Orthopedic drive was also sponsored by the Council. These are all ways of getting an early start at making social minded young women. To further show the enterprise of the feminine half of the student body, the C. O. G. made a success of their annual Christmas Assembly, their Tolo, and their Mothers' Tea, which was a social high light. The Council of Girls at Aberdeen was chosen as hostess to the annual Southwest Washington Spring Conference. The social committee again took the wheel and their results were more than pleasing. The theme, The Set of The Sails, provided many interesting and novel place cards and other decorations. The Aberdeen council was highly complimented on the ease and smoothness with which the conference was handled. Under Miss Sharp's capable guidance the Cabinet functioned smoothly. Cabinets may come and go but the '39 cabinet with Joyce Taylor, Barbara Ferris, Dorothy Mattson, and Marjorie Fay will long be remembered. Boys Federation Without disregarding any traffic signals, but with most of the go lights in their favor, the Boys' Federation swept into action immediately after school started. Their first job was being friendly to the incoming students, making them acquainted with the highways and byways of Weatherwax, and just generally showing the sophomores the ropes as it were. Showing the parents a good time and making things interesting for them at the reopening of the Natatorium, was another of the first tasks. The smooth running mechanism of their committees was apparent during Thanksgiving Week, when the Federation sponsored a really big assembly, rally, and dance. The boys worked hard at providing skits, good music, bonfires, and effigies cf John Hoquiam. Mr. Mills, with the Federation's support, brought much happiness to Rollie North, when they arranged for the bed-ridden boy to be taken to the Thanksgiving Day game. Orchids and gardenias both to them. Rollie won't forget it. The Federation sent delegates, Clifford Hammer, William Mattson, Dale Smith, Raymond Smith, Raymond Callahan, Charles Bayha, to the Southwest Conference where the students learned a great deal about activities in other schools and could compare ours with theirs favorably. The faulty score board was fixed once and for all. The Hi Y club was introduced. A program made up of school talent was arranged and given for the shut-ins at Oakhurst. Another Orchidaceous thought. Successful intramural sports gave many boys a chance to display their athletic prowess. Noon movies and noon dances were also Federation sponsored activities for the purpose of providing constructive entertainment for students at noon. The Federation also did their share toward getting the new band uniform by giving the Band Dance. Green lights all the way through for President Clifford Hammer, Vice President Bill Mattson, Secretary Don Whitmer, Treasurer Jack Carson, Sports Commissioner Charles Bayha. The many achievements of the organization, its helpful cooperation with other school organizations speak very well for its officers and members. Here's wishing a big future for one of Weatherwax High School's best organizations, the Boys' Federation. r 48 ] Quinaull Looking way back to last spring when the first, vague plans for our annual were carefully and enthusiastically laid, it hardly seems possible that all our dreams and ideas have at last become a reality, and the book is done. Who will soon forget all those late, night sessions of mounting pictures, vain attempts at writeups, general confusion, ideas, copy, and glue? Those sleepy early morning trudges to a cold and lonely building in mad rush to meet our first big deadline—December 20th. Safely past the first one, only to be confronted by another. Hard work, but fun. Those hectic weeks of last minute rushing—losing the dummy innumerable times, only to have it turn up under the adviser's deski A whole year of sleepless nights for the editor—pictures, copy, and advertising. And now it is all over, and all that is left are memories, memories of a grand year of hard work, fun, and companionship. An unwelcome interruption occurred when Miss Lawler departed in January for a superintendency, and we sadly bid her farewell, after two years of a grand job of advising the Weatherwax annual. Mr. Hartley came to us, and the loss proved to be less of a disaster when we became acquainted with him, and came to know him as a swell fellow. Goodbye's and hello's, and the wheels started moving again. This year's staff was headed by Betty Ann Hoagland, filling the editor's position, with Bob Palmer as senior editor, Bim Morrison sports editing, Ed Thomas providing all those fine sketches as art editor, and John Talevich, business manager. Other hard working staff members, devoid of title, but nevertheless highly creditable for making possible this book were the publications class, and those not in pub, Betty Whiteside, Mardell Wilson, Enis Losli, Helen Marie Brennan, Jean Hill, Irene Olson, Carol Lundgren, Ruth Revell, Marjery McGuire, Nell Hathaway, Annette Olson, Jean Cameron, Jack Watkins, Bob Preble, and Ed Hulbert. September to June, yet it has gone by so fast. A grand year of hard work, fun, and mad rushing, and at last we put our typewriters and glue away, and give you the 1939 Quinault. We hope you like it. [ 50 t Ocean Breeze After inexperienced journalists had studied who, what, why, when, and where for three weeks, the first Ocean Breeze of the school year rolled off the presses into the arms of the eager student body. October was spent in improving the paper and sponsoring a football score-guessing contest, which proved very successful. The winning of the Southwest Washington grid championship and the impending Thanksgiving Day classic was the occasion for a special six-page, picture-filled edition of the Ocean Breeze. Students clamored for more special issues, and the staff was already planning to publish one later in the spring. Meanwhile Ocean Breezes slipped steadily from the presses, and the journalists participated in national Quill and Scroll contests. Gertrude Kauno, Phyllis Burke, and Martin Foshaug each placed honorable mention in one or more contests, while Barbara Hegg placed third in the sectional division of the headline writing competition. Then tragedy overtook the paper—Miss Madge Finley died after supervising its publication for nineteen years. Determined that the paper should go on, staff members published the last few issues without faculty supervision. In April came the news that the paper had been rated first class in the latest National Scholastic Press Association contest, and that its printing, typography, and editorial column had each merited the special praise of the contest heads. And in May the second six-page paper appeared, this time dedicated to the Grays Harbor county graduating seniors. It has been a year packed with interesting events and experiences, and tinged with sadness. [ 51 ] Latin Club Under the guidance of Miss Bush the Latin Club has had a royal year. Although this is primarily an intellectual organization, entertainment has been their principal theme. With a picnic at the end of the year and a real Roman banquet. French Club At their club meetings they have had guest speakers, refreshments, and, in fact, everything one would wish. As evidence of their activity, several changes were made in their constitution and they are going to get club pins. Spanish Club The more the merrier. Initiation was fun—or was it? Spanish is used at certain phases of the meetings, and woe to him who slips into English. Discussion of the recent Spanish Civil War built up a considerable interest in Spanish affairs. Rooter Club Pep and enthusiasm for the betterment of A. 11. S. Selling novelties at certain times. Sponsoring the May Day Dance with its May Queen and her attendants. In short, trying their level best to arouse the student body from its somnolent state. Ushers The Old Faithfuls under Miss Foley’s guiding hand again this year have done their duty as always. Patrons at all school functions were promptly and efficiently seated. Raincoats were provided this year for their comfort at football games. Drill Team Each year the drill team performs at the Thanksgiving Day game. This year the drill team, sponsored by the Rooter Club, put on something new and different. The girls wore new uniforms, blue skirts, gold sweaters, and gold caps. Knights of the Bobcat These modern knights patrol the football field, operate the scoreboard, handle the concession stand, work at pay assemblies and movies, and perform many duties about the school which require strong men. One of their achievements was the Thanksgiving bonfire. Girls' Athletic Association Sports of every description. Baseball—that brings you right back where you started. Swimming in circles. Tennis—that nearly shows up the boys. Archery —that hits the spot. Hikes —that get you somewhere. Just a wee bit of everything active. Golden A This “ex-service organization consists of all boys earning their letters in major sports. Members really know it when they have been initiated into this gang. Their traffic squad efficiently directs the automobile traffic around the school. Radio Club These amateur radio operators, known to the world as “hams,” send messages hither, thither and yon, often sitting up far into the night, while more ordinary students are plugging away at their books. Exchanging notes on who talked with Siam fill their meetings. Hi D Under the capable direction of Mr. Hovies. this group of Thespians highlight each year with an exceptionally well received play. This year proved no exception when “Headed For Eden” was presented to an appreciative audience. Social meetings round out their programs. Ticket Takers and Sellers The school just couldn’t get along without these loyal workers. Their presence is needed at all school games and activities. Along with their guardian angel, Mr. Guernsey, they capably and efficiently take care of several hundred dollars of student funds. Honor Society Members of this club are chosen for their high scholastic records and for their activities around the school. They may be distinguished from the common herd by their one-bar, two-bar. and torch pins. Upon graduation the torch pins are presented permanently. Printing Club Made up of the advanced students in printing, this club is the controlling factor in the printing classes. They act as assistant instructors and assume a great part of the responsibility for maintaining the high standards of school printing. KXRO Reporters—Gene Mackey, Helen Marie Brennan, Pauline Bustruck, George Magee; More of the Quinault Staff; Quinault advertising staff; Mr. Hartley, advisor; Commencement speakers faculty speaker, Joyce Taylor; valedictorian, Jane Randolph; salu-tatorian, Pauline Bustruck; class speaker, Ken Price; Photographer—Bill Staff. r 54 ] Mrs. Hoflin's office staff; Hi Y Club—newly organized boys' club of Weatherwax; Mr. Clarence Curran, new session teacher; Mr. Guernsey's office staff; Junior Business Builders' executive committee—head men of the new social phychology classes' organization. [ 55 ] Dances As we look back at the year 38-39, we see one, long, successful trend of dances. Through our extended journey of gala affairs, our first stop is the Senior Mixer. The motif that prevailed throughout the evening was Onward 39. Traveling on a little farther we come to the Band Dance. The proceeds from this dance were used for the new band uniforms. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of a birthday gift to Mr. Hjelmervik. Coasting merrily along, we come to an abrupt stop to find ourselves royally entertained by the class of 41. After walking the plank we find ourselves surrounded by nautical decorations. Orchids to the sophomores tor having one of the nicest decorated dances of the year. Everyone enjoyed themselves dancing to the rhythmical strains of Neal House's orchestra. Looking over our course, we see our next stop to be the Boys' Federation rally dance. Amidst the laughter and noise from the crowd, the yelling of Beat Hoquiam was ever prevalent. Blue and gold goal posts, footballs, balloons, and posters encouraged the spirit and pep of the students. Chokum, Croakum, Beatum Hokum was the ever popular slogan yelled time and time again. Due to the pep and enthusiasm of the students, the dance proved to be a rally rather than a dance, on the eve of the annual gridiron clash between Aberdeen and Hoquiam. Bouquets to the Boys' Federation for having such a successful affair. Journeying on still farther, we stop at one of the most important affairs of the year, the C. O. G. Tolo. After the boys have treated the girls all year long, this dance is always looked forward to with a great amount of anticipation. The tables are completely turned for the Tolo. The girls must do everything usually done by the boys. The evening starts out by the girl taking the family limousine and calling for her date. She meets the folks, escorts him to the dance, checks the coats and trades the dances. Afterwards, she takes him our for refreshments and pays the check. Decorations used this year were big red hearts and streamers for Valentine's Day. This was a most suitable motif as most of the girls took their O. A. O. to the Tolo. All the committees should be complimented on their fine cooperation in making the dance a huge success. Nearing the end of our journey, we slow down to take a look at the Junior Senior formal. The dance of the year, when each boy comes in a dress suit and the girls look so pretty in their formals. Although the formal was postponed a month due to a conflic-tion of dates, it finally took place in March. St. Patrick ruled the dance with Irish decorations filling the hall. Due to the grand cooperation between the Junior and Senior classes, this was one dance that will be remembered for a long time to come. Our travels come to an end with the annual May Day Dance sponsored by the Rooter Club. The outstanding event of the evening took place in the coronation of Queen Barbara Davis I. Barbara, active in school affairs, and secretary of the student body, made a striking picture in a peach chiffon formal. Mr. Bloom, our superintendent, crowned Barbara with a beautiful crown of tiny, spring flowers. The court of honor was made up of Helen Brachvogel, Eleanor Bryant, Phyllis Grinde, Pauline Hathaway, Laura Johnson, and Nan Newman. All the girls were dressed in spring formals, and were the center of attraction for the rest of the evening. The hall was a sight to behold with a Maypole in the center of the floor, and pastel streamers and balloons. At this time the Aberdeen Elks should be given our sincerest thanks for making all our dances possible. Due to their kindness in donating the hall for our affairs, they have made our social life complete. Thank you Elks, you've been swell! f 5G ] ■ m menokijih MADGE FINLEY PEGGY DEVAUL, '39 k. o say that she will be missed would be an understatement. No other possessed such an untiring love for her work and her pupils. No other was quite so calmly efficient or so patiently persistent. Hers was a practical personality, a personality that got things done. Hers was a leadership that inspired love of responsibility and instilled pride in high ideals and worthwhile achievements. To say that she was loved by all would be sentimentality. She was never one to sentimentalize. She was sincere in all she said or did. It is with all sincerity, then, that we express our sorrow in the death of our teacher, adviser, and friend-----Miss Madge Lee Finley. Reprinted from the Ocean Breeze.
