Vocational training classes . . . another year of mathematics . . . bond drives . . . boys leaving for the armed forces . . . every day at Weatherwax finds new events which constantly serve to remind us of the intensely serious attitude taken by the students of our school during this emergency. As you turn these pages, we hope that in seeing the events of the year 1943 recorded before you—you may pause, and linger awhile upon some familiar faces, treasured events, and beloved scenes—which may hold for you some particularly cherished memory of your days at Weatherwax. We hope you will go outside, turn and take one last look at this, our school, which has been both home and haven to us during the foregoing years. Remember how the soft grass feels beneath your feet; recall the familiar smoothness of the bronze handle on the door of the main entrance. Breathe once more the friendly, scholarly atmosphere of the classroom. These are the memories which will seem so precious to us in years to come. In these pages are pictured the classmates and friends in whose cultivating we have secured forever the remembrances of our high school days. ... the whirling tool slowly descends, and is followed in its progress by keen, serious eyes ... it sinks into the unresisting metal and, guided by a firm hand, drills a hole with such precision as to belie the speed of its accomplishment. This is the new American youth—the product of a materialistic age. This is the soldier in embryo. During the past year we have seen many of our classmates—friends we have known for years—lay aside their textbooks and become acquainted with the strange, sinister feel of the rifle. We have seen others concentrating their efforts into long hours in the shop, foregoing zoot-suits for a pair of greasy overalls, as they intensively prepare themselves so that when answering their country's call in this hour of dire need, they might be better qualified for the responsibility. It is to these that we take far-reaching pride in dedicating this, our 1942-43 Quinault. EDICATION From Our First Oav Here... w It was strange that September morning in 1940. We were all in our seats w'ith our hands folded in tense, little bundles upon the desk before us. Our eyes were fixed upon the man at the front of the room-—and perhaps our mouths were slightly agape as he unfolded to us the wonders of high school—OUR high school. The goal for which we had been working and preparing ourselves throughout nine long years was at last in sight. We looked with awe upon the seniors—those strange, fabulous persons hurrying to classes or standing talking idly in the halls. We were introduced to an entirely different life—a life composed of many new and wonderful sensations ..... a .... We experienced the thrill that can accompany the solving of a complicated problem of geometry. We grew accustomed to the strange, serious atmosphere of the chemistry laboratory; the cool, clean feeling of a test tube held in firm, steady fingers. Graduation seemed an unattainable dream then—a time far into the future when we would at last be done with all the monotonous tedium which was school in our eyes. Our sophomore year dragged on and on, and finally came to an end. Then we were juniors—a little calmer, a little more cere of ourselves. Our junior year went rapidly. It seemed just a flash— cokes,” parties, darces, double-dates, and then it was gone. And we were seniors. The realization car.'.e upon us like a warm shock. We made new friends, we experienced all the joys, idealistic dreamings, yes, and heart-breaks that come to those entering into the company of grown-ups. Now we are about to depart from the familiar life of studies and athletics we have enjoyed for three years. But no matter where we are—no matter what fields we enter, the memories of all our pleasant days at Weatherwax will continue to influence us throughout our entire life. — ★ ¥ ★ ...Until Graduation irjvp -YJrppfjy? ★ ★★★★★★★★★★ SINaiNO CLASSES Facuity w Gladys Shindler — Shorthand, Typing.

The Sophomore-Junior formal was postponed, but the seniors had their annual dance. The Snowball was under the direction of Margaret Hoffman. Senior dress-up day, baccalaureate, class I night, and commencement ended the year. The juniors gave the commencement dance and will be ready to assume the responsibilities of the senior class next year. The sophomores contributed their share by giving the annual sophomore hop, the first dance of the year. s e n i it r s Adams, Vira O.A.A. 2,3; Usher 2.8,4; C.O.G. 2,3,4; Rooter Club 2,3; Retail Selling 4.

These students aid and control the activities of our school. This year the officers have done extraordinarily well. Our yell king, johnny, left for the Navy after the third quarter, while Dick, the treasurer, entered the University of Washington for Naval training. Senate This year was an extraordinary one for the Senate, as well as other school activities, in that senators were faced with the problem of meeting reduced income due to the necessary abolishment of night football to conform with dimout regulations. After lengthy debate and much heated discussion, a 50c ticket plan was decided upon in favor of the former $3 60 activity card. However, the new method entitled the owner only to the advantage of reduced prices instead of free admission to most school functions, as before. This system of financing proved highly successful from the money-raising angle, and met with a rather good reception from the students, who purchased about 600 tickets. Although previously voting against the bill, senators reversed their decision and approved the expenditure of one-half the cost of sweaters for the yell dukes and song queens. The disbursement of $2 each on thirty-two sweaters for Knights of the Bobcat also was approved. The Senate took steps to revise our outmoded constitution, and a committee was appointed to look into the matter. As a result, an amendment to the constitution that required the outcome of all school elections to be made public was voted in. Appointed to the judicial committee, in charge of rewriting the constitution, were Barbara Weatherwax, Joann Swinehart, John Whalen, and Maurice Sedlack. One of the most important tasks accomplished last year was that of inaugurating a nation-wide war bond contest. Seven schools which accepted the challenge presented by Aberdeen were those of Everett; Sheridan, Wyoming; Phoenix, Arizona; Lawrence, Kansas; Muskegon, Michigan; Olympia, and Hoquiam. The contest was two months in duration—from February 22 to April 22, and closed with a gigantic auct'on assembly on the final day. Donations from down-town merchants were lined up on the stage and were given to the person making the highest bid in war stamps or bonds for them. Louis Gerhardt was general chairman of the event. After Cliff McNair, co-editor, appealed to the Senate for financial aid to continue publication of the Quinault, it was unanimously approved by senators. Senators also approved a plan brought up by the Golden A club which permitted athletic letter winners to wear small type emblems on the upper left chest if so desired. The problem of pep was the subject of much discussion during many Senate meetings, which resulted in a committee being appointed to assist in instilling more pep into the student body. The lack of halftime entertainment at home basketball games was remedied by the Senate also. Top Row____Art Abraham ion. Kenneth Stevens. F.ddie Kahala. Chuck II ilson. II ayne Syman. Kennilh Clary.

Lack of financial support and the shortage of essential materials were the main obstacles in their path. Because of this shortage of materials, the number of cuts” were reduced to those borrowed from the Aberdeen World. The method of distribution and of selling the paper was quite different from that of previous years. As the students did not receive their O. B. along with their student body ticket, subscriptions had to be sold to them. This new arrangement placed a double burden on the shoulders of the ever-patient ad staff. Two almost completely different groups made up the editorial staff of the paper. During the first semester, the staff was as follows: Art Abrahamson, Paul Akerlund, Tom Clark, Penny Chemeres, Betty Ann Coons, Budd Darling. Ronald Gardner, Louis Gerhardt, Virginia Gilfillan, Dorothy Gudger, June Hammerlin, Florence Hayvaz, Norma Karvonen, Frances Leaf, Jerry Norling, Dick Rice, Jean Turner, LeRoy Vera, Dick Wake, Pat Wilkinson, Frances Wilson, and Aune Wirta. In the second semester the staff was smaller and was composed of Art Abrahamson, Pat Anderson, Patt Bailey, Betty Ann Coons, Penny Chemeres, Georgia Fitzpatrick, Ronald Gardner, Louis Gerhardt, Florence Hayvaz, Norma Karvonen, Jerry Norling, Fred Rosenbaum, June Hammerlin, Dorothy Gudger, and Glenn Sundstrom. f u i nan I i Miss Ga-ween, this glue won’t stick.” Like a shot the door of room 308 is thrown open, a figure tears out, and you are left to wonder what goes on in that room. For you who may be wondering all I can say is, Quinault production is under way.” This year's staff has met many difficulties in putting out the 1943 annual. The war has made many supplies hard to get and this year there was no stu dent body ticket to help pay for the cost of publication. In keeping with the times, the Quinault’s theme will be centered around the effort of the school in winning the war. The whole annual was built around that theme with a patriotic cover, and the book itself carried out the theme. The editorial staff was headed by co-editors Norma Karvonen and Cliff McNair and included: Dick Wake, Art Abrahamson, Tom Clark, Patt Bailey, Betty Coons, Barbara Parks, and Barbara Murphy. The photographic work was done by Cliff McNair, Jr., who was also co-editor. The job of mounting pictures and all art work was up to Gertrude Oliver, art editor, who was assisted by Mayme Turner. To Barbara Wilkinson fell the job of getting all senior pictures in and this was quite a job. Handling the business end of the annual was Joan Franciscovich. George Heliotis was the advertising manager and his staff took care of getting in all the ads. The ad solicitors were: Tommy Rodrique, Bob Sims, Norma Jean Turnbull, Joan Gilbreath, Wally Manttari, Jean Laaksonen, Louis Gerhardt, Florence An-thonson, Elaine Hammerlin, Eugene Morehead, and Imogene Tester. Miss Gwin was adviser. IlOYV FEDERATION Having undertaken many duties this season, the Boys’ Federation has responded exceedingly well. Due to the financial situation of the student body, the Boys’ Federation has been entirely self supporting. Its capable leaders were as follows: President, Wayne Nyman; vice president, Orian De Bay; secretary, Calvin Henry; treasurer, Gordon Jacobson. Bob Rattie, who was the first vice prexy, joined the Navy late last fall. Orian then took over. Much can be credited to these hard working lads. Keeping us well supplied with candy and pop at football and basketball games was only one of their many duties. They sponsored the noon dances in the fall, but because of the low attendance, these affairs were disbanded. They worked hard with the C. O. G. and Senate on the Promote Pep” drive. This year there was an exceptionally good hall committee and they are to be praised, along with the boys’ checkroom committee. The successful Turkey Day dance at McDermoth School is an annual affair put on by the Boys' Federation. It drew one of the largest dance crowds of the year. Every year intramural basketball shares a great part of the average boy’s life. From seventy-five to one hundred boys competed in this tournament for a period of three and one-half months. Games were held at night and on Saturdays. These fellows received no glory, headlines or letters. No yells were given for them, nor were there hundreds of cheering spectators. Yet, intramural sports are important; they teach teamwork and good sportsmanship as well as giving the boys a good time. Yes, these lads were some of the unsung heroes of Weatherwax and they are to be congratulated. Each year a plaque is awarded to the champions; this year it went to Capt. Joe Erak’s team. His teammates were Dick Frazer, Glenn Peterson, Steve Bakotich, Eddie Orth, Gerald McCauley and Jerry Hood. When the season ended an All-Star team was selected. It was composed of Bob Hale, Glenn Peterson, Dick Frazer, Tom Paul, Dick Narrance, Calvin Balch, Joe Erak, Kenny Winberg, Rollie Moir, Dan Mannion and Victor Druzianich. Boys' intramural sports manager was Dale Carlson. Boys’ Senate: Top Row — Art Neuton. John Whalen. Don Hau kins, Trank Malinowski, Ken-nith Clary. Second Row — Don Rea, Jim Charette, Chuck Wilson.

The girls heard several speakers who built their talks on victory and what the girls could do to further the war effort. The first social function of the year was a party in honor of the new girls who had recently moved to Aberdeen. In September there was a girls’ mixer to get acquainted with the incoming sophomores. Dancing was held in the girls’ gym and refreshments were served. The annual Thanksgiving food drive netted eighteen baskets of food for the needy and sixteen dollars in cash. The boys challenged the girls to a bond and stamp contest, which proved very successful even if the girls did lose. The girls sold SI,106.25 worth of stamps and bonds during the drive. During the Christmas season the girls filled forty-seven Christmas stockings, which were sent to the Navy hospital in Bremerton. The Junior Red Cross sold tuberculosis pins and seals at that time. More than two hundred favors and place cards were sent to Fort Lewis at each holiday. The Pep Club, a new pepsters' organization, was sponsored by the Council of Girls. The Christmas assembly was presented by the girls. Defense Stomp” was the theme of the annual girls’ tolo held February 27. For two days the girls had to do the various things the boys are expected to do, such as, opening doors, and carrying books. In connection with the Tolo Days an assembly was held and the girls took the boys. Only couples were admitted. The Senior Mothers' tea was held in April and a program and style show preceded the tea. Joy Lindberg was president of the C. O. G.; Josephine Barkley, vice president; Donna Ecker, secretary; Lorna Falk, treasurer; and adviser, Miss Sharp. The cabinet members include: Virginia Marrs, Claire Wilson, Pat Donley, Ethel Olson, Phyllis Shaw, Gertrude Oliver, Geraldine Jackson, and Dorothy Eldart.

President, and Donna Ecker, Secretary: Ail and Display Case Committee; Big and Little Sister Committee; Jr. Red Cross Committee; Social Committee. The band started to play! The air of tenseness in the crowd seated in the grandstand was broken when two girls ran out on to the field. Their colorful outfits consisted of a yellow sweater with a small Bobcat on the sleeve and a short blue skirt sprinkled with yellow notes. After many intricate steps and actions, that thrilled the spectators, the girls ran off with applause and cheering ringing in their ears. The song queens for the year of 1943 were Betty Ann Coons and Maxine Ranum. These girls were elected in the fall after tryouts before the student body. The girls did much to keep up the pep of the students at games and assemblies. Absolutely disregarding rain and other kinds of unpleasant weather the two carried on. A little water and mud never darkened their spirits and after slipping on a pair of boots and a raincoat, they began just where they had left off. Even basketball practice before the game did not bother them even if the balls were being thrown right over their heads. When the weather became cold, a pair of mittens were the addition to their outfits. During cold weather the girls kept warm by jumping around in hopes of not freezing. At football games Maxine and Betty Ann were always on the sidelines with the yell staff, cheering the team, or telling them to Hold that line. It meant a lot to the boys who were on the field doing their best to win to have someone cheer them on. Whenever there was a pep assembly, the girls were always there to lead us in our school songs. As soon as the song queens appeared, the students would rise and under their direction let song fill the auditorium. Everyone joined in even if he didn't have the best voice in the school. The girls made an attempt at being yell kings when they led the Pep club yell at a basketball game, but they thought it would be better if they let Johnny Hulbert and his yell staff take care of giving the yells. One point of courtesy which the girls followed was that of getting the rival school's song queens and letting them lead Aberdeen rooters in a song. It was a small courtesy, but it made the other schools think more of our hospitality. Although it was harder to get transportation to out-of-town games than it has been in several years, the girls tried to attend as many as possible. We, the students of Weatherwax, were proud of our song queens and, through their efficient leadership, they have made the townspeople proud of them also. Other towns will judge us by the way our yell staff conducts itself. We hope that all future song queens will be as efficient as those who have served us this year of 1943. Pep! Pep with a capital P is what these three boys stood for. We believe Yell King Johnnie Hulbert and his two capable assistants, Louie Gerhart and Bob Bryan, achieved the kind of pep Aberdeen can be proud of. These three boys were in there pitching at pep assemblies and rallies. Rain or shine, games were attended faithfully. They traveled to the out-of-town games at their own expense. How’s that for the up and at ’em spirit? The three yell leaders’ uniforms consisted of blue sweaters and gold letters, blue pants with gold stripes down the leg. All in all, they were a very classy looking bundle of pep. Several times King Hulbert was out of school because of illness, but Louie and Bob pinch-hit and turned out some very neat assemblies and pep studded games. Our pep at the Thanksgiving Day assembly was remarkable. The old auditorium rafter fairly shook. The rally through the streets of town was filled with loyal Aberdeen fans. The drowning of John Hoquiam was a big event. As he was tossed into the Wishkah river, the band played, and yells were given. Ah, yes, that was a great day. The Turkey Day game’s spirits were something well worth remembering, even with the familiar liquid sunshine fairly streaming down. These boys were out wading around in the rain, soaked to the skin, trying to lead yells on the slippery turf without falling. And then when Aberdeen emeiged on the big end of the score, there was a hot time in Aberdeen that night. Yes, a lot of credit has to be given to this yell staff for promoting the pep they did. The yell staff was also in charge of the after game dances during the basketball season. These dances had to be discontinued, however, as the floor had to be in shape for the next morning’s games. Several after school pep assemblies were held, to which the turnouts were small. Even though it was a very inconvenient time of the day, those who did attend were very enthusiastic, thanks to the leadership of Johnny, Bob and Louie. A boys’ pep club was decided on, but the idea was not carried out. It was expected that Bob Bryan would take over the Yell King’s duties next year, but both Bob and Johnny joined the Navy early this spring; thus we lost two wonderful yell leaders. So—what with our number one band, pep club and rooters, song queens, and these three lads, a peppy season was had by all. Are we not right? c li ns Oeron Atl Stall' This year's Ocean Breeze ad staff was under the direction of advertising managers, Frances Leaf and June Hammeriin. The ad staff was made up of students in the journalism class and others interested in this type of work. Adviser for the ad staff was Miss Gwin. Spaniwli 4 IiiEi The activities of the Spanish club included the sponsoring of a Pan-American assembly. Active members are: Norma Jean Turnbull, Judy Welsh, Betty Pugh, Faye Rhodes, Doris Sharp, Eleanor Pugh, Laurie Nielsen, Robin Blackwell, Betty Brund-age, Joan Gilbreath, Laila Walli, Jean Clarke, Helga Jean Newell, and Louise Hnilica. Cshrrs Under the guidance of Miss Foley, the ushers saw another year of service. Their varied activities included seating patrons at school plays and programs,, ushering at football and basketball games, and assisting at all assemblies. Golden A Club Golden A Club, Weatherwax letterman's organization, acts as the school traffic cop,” controlling traffic, parking, and the wearing of letters and awards. Two initiations were held this year. Officers for the year were: Ted Lea, president; Bob Estrada, vice president; and Dick Sims, secretary-treasurer. Air . Norm's Offirr Sliiff Mrs. Norin s office staff consisted of twenty-one girls. I heir jobs included checking attendance, filing, running the switchboard, and other clerical work. Members of the staff may receive either activity points for their work, or a grade point. 4 LI II Latin 'lull The La;in Club under the leadership of John Bocek, counsel; Rita Rajcich, vice counsel; Pat Nord-gren, scribo; and Bob Skarperud, quaestor, held their annual Roman banquet. The food, attire, and functions were all copies of the ancient Romans. The slaves were first year students. Spanish lull Evelyn Sigurdson was president and Mrs. Hughes and Mr. Curran were advisers of the club.

Ili-Y. ( litiptrr I Hi-Y, Chapter I this year sponsored some of the most successful events of the season. Under the direction of President Gordon Prehm, and with the aid of Mr. Mapes, adviser, the club backed several dances, including the annual Let’s Get Associated dance for freshmen. With Chapter II, they brought something new to Aberdeen in the form of a Thanksgiving service in the auditorium. Ili-Y. rimpter II Led by President Jim Anderson, Hi-Y, Chapter II, has worked further toward their purpose, To create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the community. Chief project was sponsoring the high school night club. The club also revised the sophomore guide book and sponsored athletic programs. .11 r. Flora's Staff Fourteen girls worked in the comptroller's office handling the student body business. Each girl had individual duties such as bookkeeper, cashier, assistant cashier, tax clerks, and treasurer. They learn the use of the various machines, how to handle money, filing, etc. Full credit is given for this work. LJLL-OA OO ft A aa a a A A A A, A . A ’ a A A A A A A r liiis l� « p ( lull Pep Club girls put on the Thanksgiving assembly and sponsored a dance in the fall. Perhaps the biggest undertaking was that of the May Day dance and the selection of a queen and her court. Faculty advisers were Mrs. Farquhar and Miss Taylor. IVp ( lull The Pep Club was organized to promote better school spirit, and was under the jurisdiction of the C. O. G. The club was made up of the drill team members and three girls chosen by each home room. Chairman of the organization was Virginia Marrs. Kiiiglii o( Tin Holit-al Led by Captain Don Rea, Weatherwax’s most helpful organization, the Knights of the Bobcat, has worked another year at its job, guarding at football and basketball games, and stage productions, setting up bleachers and cleaning up after games.

Miss Phelps' home room, 300, came through with Hying colors. This class has not only shown their school spirit by supporting our annual, but they also took part in all activities of the school. There were nine girls in the G. A. A. and nine in the Pep club. Their room was well represented on the C. O. G. committees. Beverly Nelson was chairman of the faxor committee of the Red Cross. This room made several hundred favors for the boys in the hospitals. Most of these were made for Valentine Day and Easter. Doreene Murphy was the Red Cross chairman of her home room with Helga Jean Newell, and Catherine Rea assisting. Marie Rand was their senator and she was very capable of handling the home room functions of senate. She was very active and efficient. Helene Prehm was the Junior Council representative while Georgia Mercier ably handled the job of secretary of the junior class. In the home room, Helen Nelson was the bond and stamp clerk. The room chose sides and competed in the sales. The captains of this were Laurie Nielsen and Beverly Nelson. Norma Pellegrini was very active and assisted in the comptroller’s office; she was also connected with the Ticket Takers and Sellers. Other girls participated in every day routine jobs as roll taking in home room and in session. In the home room and for assemblies Bertha Payne did a careful job. Beverly Nelson took roll in session. During Thanksgiving, Georgia Mercier planned and arranged the food baskets. Although these girls were extremely active, they were very conscientious about their studies. Seven were on the honor roll, while Norma Pellegrini and Catherine Rea received straight A s the las; semester. Norma Jean Ramsay was especially active, making enough activity points in one year to compensate for two. Music also reigned in this room. Three girls were in choir and two in orchestra. Rita Rajcich was vice president of the Latin club. In the field of drama, we found Helen Nelson and Laurie Nielsen in the Sophomore-Junior play. This room was a typical junior home room and all incoming sophomores should take heed. These girls have run their activities as they wished while Miss Phelps worked quietly in the back ground giving them good advice when they needed it. These girls have entered into various participations as you can readily see. We’re proud to have a room such as this one in our school. Top Row—Dick Robbins, Captain Dick Frazer. HaI Boettcher.

Laboriously disengaging himself from the muddy ooze covering Stewart field, he would immediately launch into no less than a dozen seemingly logical reasons why the team would have to accept a oneway ticket to the cellar. And at the moment it seemed he was right. Out of the first string, no less than nine seniors were to forsake soon their shoulder-pads for a cap and gown. Great, gasping holes appeared in the once formidable Bobcat line and the understudies who were scheduled to fill them, had not seen quite enough action to warrant many optimistic predictions concerning their ability to continue the phenomenal record of their predecessors. r '1 hat's why there were more than a smattering of querulous smiles that sunny Friday afternoon when a brand-new Bobcat team trotted out upon the green expanse of the re modeled Stewart field to do battle for the first time. The smiles soon turned to open grins of joy, however, as the Blue and Gold gridders methodically went about the task of rolling up 63 points against the unhappy Shelton Highclimbers. Some of the bolder fans began making predictions of a brilliant season for the 'Cats. Others called FOOT It A L L it luck—beginner's luck—and many doleful prophecies were forthcoming concerning the game scheduled with the powerful Stadium Tigers of Tacoma. But the word luck” suddenly disappeared from many vocabularies when an inspired Bobcat team smashed their big city rivals to the tune of a 13-0 defeat. From then on the ability to handle the pigskin with a smoothness and flair that would do credit to a college outfit, as well as the ability to run up points under the most adverse conditions, resulted in one of the most successful seasons ever completed in Aberdeen football history. Ted Lea, brilliant quarterback, and Captain Dick Frazer received all-conference honors.

This was the theme of the Aberdeen football season. Although boasting one of the strongest teams in the school's history—the competition was perhaps the most tremendous ever encountered. Many of this year's players will go down in Weatherwax history. Bud Wyninger will be remembered as one of the hardest driving backs ever to don an Aberdeen suit. Leon Vigus’ 159 yards scored Bin the Hoquiam game will become a legend. Quarterback Ted Lea’s brilliant headwork and Captain Dick Frazer's standout leadership will serve to inspire football aspirants in years to come. “Hunks’ takes over against Mieltun Huheats battle Dears tii tie Eyus ii[i as hall climbs Regulars switch tii Siihs’ spat Slim Iin sits him Suits play As Prelim hmliiul tu uppunents Hagen awaits sphere Dan Shovlin, in his first year as ’Cat mentor, piloted the squad to a Southwest Washington co-championship.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the co-champions of the 15 team loop. The 'Cats experienced an only fairly successful pre-season schedule, defeating Valley twice, while losing two games to the strong Westport Coast Guard quint and one to the lowly rated Ocosta squad. After traveling to Raymond and dropping their first conference tilt, the Blue and Gold cagers then caught fire and stormed through the remainder of conference contests without a blot to smear their record. Probably the most notable achievement of the season was the administering of two crushing defeats to the Hoquiam Grizzlies, breaking an 11-year jinx. When the Northern Division title was safely tucked away, the'Cats challenged the Centralia Tigers, Southern Division kings, to a two game title series. The first game was played on our court, with the Tigers winning, but Aberdeen avenged the loss in the Centralians' bailiwick. That evened up the series and left the title picture as muddled as before. This year’s Bobcat team had many outstanding hoopsters. Starting at the forward spots were Captain Ted Lea and Bob Jovanovich, who turned in consistently good performances. Lea assumed much of the backboard duty when Gordon Prehm was out, and kept Aberdeen at the top of the heap. Jovanovich, a speed merchant down the floor, was deadly under the basket until a sprained ankle put him on the sidelines. At center, six-foot five-inch Gordy Prehm improved a great deal over last season and kept improving right up to the second Centralia game, in which he starred with 15 points. Bob Estrada at one guard slot was the steadiest player on the squad and could always be depended upon for a better brand of ball. Leon Vigus filled out the starting lineup and was usually in the thick of the battle. Bob Estrada received the Wilkins award, while Bob Jovanovich won the Pavletich award. Top Row—Ed.

The Cats were just beginning to round into shape at the time of the state meet at the University pool April 3, and finished a strong second place. Captain Gardner took an easy first in the 100-yard breast stroke, and Fowler third. Clark took first in the 100-yard back stroke, and Wake sixth in that event. The medley relay team composed of Wake, Gardner, and Alger tied for first with Lincoln. Wid-ders copped second in the 50-yard freestyle event, as did the Bobcat team in the freestyle relay, composed of Markham, Vigus, Gill, and Widders. Gill placed third in the 100-yard freestyle, and Skarperud took fifth place. Jones placed fourth in the 220-yard freestyle, and Lindberg sixth. Fleming captured fifth in diving. Lettermcn include Gardner, Widders, Clark, Wake, Jasper, Skarperud, Fleming, seniors; Fowler, Gill, Jones, Alger, Lindberg, Anderson, Vigus, juniors; and Markham, sophomore. Baseball Undaunted by the Harbor’s perennial rainstorms which inevitably occur at the time scheduled for baseball practice, Coach Gilbert Mills and his 1943 squad of ball tossers ironed out the pre-season kinks in their arms by working out at the natatorium. Aberdeen had another powerful team to make a strong defense of the title laurels captured in 1942. Veterans returning from last year’s champions were pitchers Dick Sims and Jack Cole, catcher Don Burr, infielders Glenn Peterson, Joe Erak, Pete Puljan, Don Jamtaas, and Meerko Majar, and outfielders Rich McGhee, Bud Stangl, and Steve Bakotich. Additions that bolstered the squad were Bob Estrada, senior third sacker, and Bob Sims, sophomore catcher. The Bobcats opened the season successfully by trouncing Montesano twice, 8 to 1, and 9 to 0. Dick Sims won the first tilt by giving up only one hit, while southpaw Jack Cole chalked up his initial victory in permitting just three bingles. Track With their turnouts hampered by adverse weather conditions, the Bobcat track squad, under their new mentor, Arne Johnsen, is at last beginning to accumulate the power that has marked the Blue and Gold outfits in previous years. Suffering a 75-38 defeat at the hands of the powerful Centralia Tiger squad, the 'Cats came home with a grim resolve to redeem themselves. Settling down to serious training, they then came close to upsetting the highly-touted Hoquiam Grizzlies in being edged out in a 60 to 53 heartbreaker. With more meets scheduled and individual stars beginning to show their stuff, the prospects for the remainder of the season were beginning to appear more and more bright. Sprint men include Jack Bastin and Harry Jenna; 440—Leon Vigus, Don Bower; 880—Maurice Sedlack, Gene Stanley; mile—Keith Williams, Laurrence Estabrook. Standouts in the weights division were Don Fiene and Martin Delia. Track Soaring skyward on the bamboo pole were Hal Boettcher and Leon Vigus. Boettcher, star of last year's squad, was expected to go far in competition. Coming along in the high jump was slim Brainerd Fraser, who has topped five feet, eight inches. Deane Hopkins and Tom Paul were among others who saw action. Bob Hale and Rich Hautala, broad-jump aces, contributed points where they counted, as did hurdlers, Deane Hopkins, Gene Snider, and Leo Fitzpatrick. With the weather beginning to clear up and more meets scheduled, the Bobcat tracksters were one of the teams to be reckoned with in Southwest competition. Tckmiiw IVam It was the usual problem of no matches because of gas rationing” that faced the tennis team, this year. Because of this the girls’ team did not play any inter-school matches, but staged a round-robin tournament in which they could earn G. A. A. and activity points. Leona Lampertz was the only returning girl member of last year's team. The boys' team played two matches against Hoquiam, but these were delayed until quite late in the season by the heavy spring rains. Although Dick Karshner was the only returning letterman, four other members of last year’s team again entered the matches. They were Jim Shaw, Bob Allen, Bernard Thunem, and Frank Lindner. Itifle Team Gerald Luark was elected as student instructor to take the place of Charles Alburty, who had been drafted. This left the team without an experienced coach, but they worked just as hard and as well under the able leadership of Gerry.” There were five returning lettermen from last year's team. These were Bob Allen, Jimmy Eckers-ley, Gerald Luark, Arnold Saarela, Cliff McNair, and Barbara Parks. Upon the graduation of these five, the team will be left without a letterman. However, a sophomore, Don Rhyne, shows great promise and will be the mainstay of next year's team. Shells, which had been thought to be unobtainable at the first of the year, were purchased through the sponsorship of the National Rifle Association. All together, the club of twenty-five members bought and paid for two cases, which made a total of twenty thousand rounds of ammunition. No inter-school matches were scheduled with the exception of the annual one with Upper Darby high school. This was lost by only seven points. Although the team entered the William Randolph Hearst match, they received no rating because of the loss of the targets in the mail. This was quite disheartening to the team as they had always placed high in this match and last year won third place in the third corps area. Advice and help throughout the year were given by Mr. Arne Johnsen and Miss Skerry. Tol Row—Charles Moulton, Donald Rhyne. Eddie Williams. Third Row—Helen Nelson. Delores Violette, Eva Sneed.

Barbara Wilkinson and Pauline Petrina were co-presidents with Margaret Hoffman, secretary-treasurer, and Joy Boettcher, vice president. The board is composed of all the girls who have earned their A sweaters. Those girls control the functions of the G. A. A. The girls contended in round robin tournaments in baseball, basketball, and volley ball. During the year a double elimination of ping pong was carried on. In the spring tennis fans competed in a ladder tournament. After school archery and badminton turnouts were common. For each turnout in all sports points for a sweater were received. At the beginning of the year a girls' football team was organized. It was very successful. The minor sports consist of hiking, skating, bowling, tumbling, swimming, and bicycling. After each main sport G. A. A. gives a party for the girls participating in the sport. They play games and have refreshments. Every year the girls participating in the most sports join together in a play day. They form teams and compete in many different sports. This year Aberdeen G. A. A. was invited to Hoquiam. Later on Aberdeen sponsored a play day and invited Hoquiam, Moclips, Ocosta, and Wishkah. Two teas were given for the teachers. The girls' Athletic Association sponsored the swimming team.

He returned home one night to find himself faced with an actual mystery. The play centered around a gift to Stan, a cigarette case presented by his boss, Mr. Brownlee. There seemed to be something valuable about this case, and many mysterious people were anxious to obtain it. r The mystery was finally solved when a will was found engraved inside the case, leaving a great deal of money to Barbara Field. Members of the cast were: Bennett Hollis, Ernest Ingram, Jean Laaksonen, Helen Nelson, David Halverson, Laurie Nielsen, Jerry Norling, John Eliopoulos, Florence Anthonson, Calvin Baldwin, Kathryn 1 rew, Eleanor Glover, and George Heliotis. Beside the cast, much credit for the success of the show goes to Miss Ewart, director; Norma Pellegrini, student director; Pat McKelvey, her assistant; Billie Troupe, properties; Beverly Keegan, publicity; Trisa Di Guilio, make-up; Doris Sharp, costumes; and Pauline Gunter, programs. Senior Play w The curtain rang down with tremendous applause from a full house, and the seventeen cast members of the senior play Best Foot forward , took their final bows. The play was a three-act comedy written by John Cecil Holm. ; ( The play was about Bud Hooper, a hero worshiping schoolboy, and the trouble he got in when he invited Gale Joy, a glamorous movie star, to the Winsoki Prep School's Senior Prom. Complications set in when his other date, Helen Schiessingler, showed up. Bud nearly got expelled, but Gale Joy came to the rescue after many humorous incidents. The play was ably directed by Miss Johnston with Josephine Barkley, student director; Eva Petrina, property manager, Penny Chemeres, costumes; Arnold Saarela, publicity; and the stage crew assisting. The thespians were: Kenny Widders, Jim Tilly, Louis Gerhardt, Maurice Nystrom, Gerald Luark, Henry Anderson, Pat Donley, Ella Mae Phillips, Barbara Murphy, Beverly Boss, Winfrid Germain, Earl Hulbert, Joanna Stieglitz, Jim Anderson, Fred Rosenbaum, Barbara Weatherwax, and Claire Wilson. Band The Sunday afternoon concert season was the high point of interest of the Weatherwax championship band, this year, since travel restrictions have brought about the discontinuance of National Regional Music Competition Festivals. Aberdeen's band has excelled in these meets since the competitions began over fourteen years ago. That record is equalled by no band in our region and is one to be rightly proud of. The band highlighted the three Sunday afternoon concerts given by the music department, and also the evening concert of popular music held in February. This drew a record-breaking crowd of both young and old music lovers. Fans of the boogie-woogie welcomed especially the trumpet solo of Rayfield Anderson, and the clarinet solo of Don Burr played in Red Rhythm Valley, and Strato-Swing. The able handling of the popular music by the band won the approval of everyone. Although the sixty members of the marching band practiced faithfully, they did not march at the annual Aberdeen-Hoquiam football game because of rain. However, their performances were greatly enjoyed at the other games of the season. This group of faithful retainers” also came to the basketball games to entertain the students and play the school songs. Some of the more popular tunes, such as those played at the swing concert, were aired for the occasion and were greeted with much delight by the student body. Much credit for the fine morale of the school at the games and at the pep assemblies goes to the band. Band members can always be depended upon to take part in the activities of the school and to do all they can to promote the spirit and pep of the students. Homer Dixon, whose baritone horn solo on Concerto for Two, at the swing concert thrilled everyone, left at mid-term to continue his studies at the University of Washington. His position as president of the band was filled during the last semester by Dan Gaskell. Although Mr. Hjelmervik usually steps into the background when the credit for a championship” band is being given, he is a very essential factor in the success of this organization. It is due to his untiring efforts that the performances of the band at the concerts and games go on smoothly and seemingly without effort. Here and now, we want to congratulate him for all his work and effort toward the forming of this unified and polished organization. Orchestra The Aberdeen High School orchestra participated in three concerts, and one special Swing Concert this year. Besides this, they played for the sophomore-junior play, and for the senior play. The Swing Concert began with the tantalizing strains of Begin the Beguine , followed by Danza Lacumi”, a Latin melody, and the ever popular Jealousy.” The novelty of the orchestra was a Norton Gould arrangement, Hill-Billy”, an elaboration of the popular hill-billy tunes of the mountain people of the country, and familiar to everyone. The Man I Love, sung by Pat Shepherd, highlighted the orchestra's performance. Four students of the orchestra entered the Northwest Washington music meet last March and all four came home with high ratings. Tommy Rodrique and Marie Rosi received good” ratings for viola and violin solos. First division ratings were awarded to Margaret Lind, cellist, and John Bocek, clarinetist. This meet was the Northwest Washington music meet, but Southwest Washington was invited to participate. Because of war time emergencies, the contest was judged by the standards of a regional meet. Under normal conditions, the regional meet would have been separate from the Northwest and Southwest meets. The contestants were invited to play for an evening program where the judges selected the outstanding performances of those heard during the entire day. Only the best are invited to this evening program and it is really an honor to participate. Our forty-piece orchestra did itself proud this year. Not only did they put aside their own disappointment when they learned that due to the war the music meets would not be held, but they helped to entertain the people at the home front. Now more than ever before is the orchestra appreciated. The long winter evenings when we used to take the car out for a spin had to be cancelled, but the orchestra was in there pitching, and because of them the morale of the people was kept up. Good music is beginning to be appreciated by Aberdeen people. When the orchestra first started its concerts the crowds were scant, but with every concert the size of the crowd increased, as people told one another what good entertainment it was. I his year the orchestra lost some of its best players when the seniors left, but as it is every year, the junior high will move up and new talent will be discovered. Our only hope is that they will keep up the good work already begun. Choir Because of gas rationing, there will be no Southwest Music Meet. To lose the chance of competing in this event and to lose all the excitement and fun that goes with it was a blow to the music department. There was, then, nothing to look forward to and it was a problem to find another event that was as equally exciting to take its place. With all his resourcefulness, Mr. Hjelmervik brought up the idea of a swing concert. It was greeted with great delight and the plans were begun immediately. In due time, the big night came and the choir members were fairly quivering with excitement. The auditorium was packed from the front row to the top balcony with enthusiastic swing fans. As their part in the program, the choir sang Chloe,” a song of the swamp; Great Day, a Cole Porter hit; and then A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody , a never-to-be-forgotten song. Then as a thrilling climax, they sang Night and Day.” The music was a tremendous success, and a decision to make the concert an annual event was reached. The traditional Sunday concert series went on, as usual, drawing crowds of music lovers, both young and old. Three of these events were held during the year. Probably the most popular of these was the one held on March 28, which consisted of songs of the Allied nations. The band and orchestra played Russian, South American and Norwegian numbers, and the choir sang English songs. They sang British Children's Prayer ; and an English folk song, The Turtle Dove,” was sung by the choir and the tenor solo by Eldon Boling. A rollicking Hampshire folk song There Was a Tree,” concluded the choir's performance. The choir has also taken part in other activities beside those of the concerts. They sang several times for clubs of Aberdeen and also for the Easter services at the Warner Brothers theater. This was a gathering of all the churches of Aberdeen. Contrary to the usual custom of choosing four sectional leaders and a president, the choir chose only a president. The leader for the choir this year was Georgia Fitzpatrick.
