BUSINESS MANAGER WAYNE CAMBELL....ARTIST DICK GUSTIN . . . PHOTOGRAPHER P. H. SIMPSON...ADVISOR 3 orewar j In this, our 1946 QuiNAULT, our main desire is that in the later years of your life when your hand is not so steady and your eyes not so sure, some of the memories of your high school days may be recaptured by thumbing through the pages of this book. We hope that our theme, autographs, helps you recall the pleasures you left behind as you once more see the signature of a former classmate. It may remind you of the many pleasant hours you spent in the office paying for the times you didn't attend geometry or Latin—or the nights you stayed home doing that last minute cramming for a big test the next day—maybe even all the football and basketball games—the dances—and especially graduation. To our editors it will bring back memories of forgotten deadline dates, and sleepless nights spent wondering whether or not our QuiNAULT succeeds in helping the '46-ers remember the best three years of their lives. We, the editors and staff of the 1946 Quinault, dedicate this, our annual, to Miss Lois Gwin, who did so much to help us make this a better book. This year, after working many years as faculty advisor for the QUINAULT, without much recognition, Miss Gwin found it necessary to give up her advisory position. Even though she no longer plans our Quinault she has helped us with many of the details, and we know her heart is still in the work. So to Miss Lois Gwin, we say thanks for for all of the advice and help she has given us. onlen Is ylclm i n is tra ti I (dfaAAed SlctivitieS Mimics .5ine shirts Student cjCi e minis tra tion FACULTY MR.

SMITH Janitor SENATE Under the able direction of Cliff Hansmann, our Student Body President, the Senate swept through this school year with activities running at a high pitch. Cliff was aided in the Student Body functions by Chuck Anderson, Vice-President; Vivian Hoiland, Secretary'; Ned Baker, Treasurer, and Bob Kevo, Yell King. Mr. William Mapes was Senate Advisor. Among the many worthwhile things accomplished by the Senate, and of the most importance, was the purchasing of an up-to-date movie projector. The Boys Federation paid half of the S 1,600 bill. Another important purchase made by Senate was a Public Address system, also an up-to-date model. The expenditure for this was $250. As well as completing the Foster Child campaign the Senate also sponsored the final Bond and Stamp drive in our school. Because the seniors donated the most money to the Foster Child Campaign, they were allowed to select the nationality of the child to be aided. Their choice was a little French girl who now corresponds with members of the Senate. The broadcast was carried on again this year with Helen Boora as Chairman. Helen Hilden suggested that we vote on song queens separately. After much debate the idea passed the approval of the Student Body by a vote of 410 to 146. After much inquiry, Elmer Pellegrini reported that megaphones could be purchased at a store in Seattle. He ordered them so that they will be here in time for use for next year's yell staff. Earl Englund and Ken Roberts were appointed to investigate the possibilities of improving the appearance of the asbestos curtain in the auditorium. The result being that the curtain was repaired and painted. One of the final activities sponsored by and for the Senators was the Senate Picnic at Silvia Lake, May 8. With this the Student Body Senate rounded out their year of accomplishments. Back Row—Virginia Utheim, Helen Hilden, Charles Anderson, Bob Kevo, Bob Fitzpatrick Mary Ann Hobson, Kharvina Dickgieser.

OFFICERS Left to Right: Treasurer, Virginia Utheim; President, Ruby Lyse; Secretary, Jla Lou Rosengarten; Vice President, Frances Skarperud. Under the direction of Ruby Lyse, president; Frances Skarperud, vice president; Iia Lou Rosengarten, secretary; and Virginia Utheim, treasurer, the Council of Girls swirled through this year with activities running high from the time of the girls’ mixer in the early fall to the Senior Mothers’ Tea on April 12. The Christmas assembly was sponsored by the C. O. G. as well as the monthly girls assemblies. Weekly teas for the faculty and a party for new students were also under the direction of the group. The officers attended a conference at Centralia to discuss and compare the Weatherwax C. O. G. with thirty-seven similar organizations from schools of our state. Ruth Finney was chairman of the Red Cross committee; hence, she was in charge of the various Red Cross committees and their work, which included the making of 1,500 tray favors, 50 Christmas gift boxes and 25 joke books for Madigan Hospital at Fort Lewis. Collecting donations at a local theater during the Red Cross drive was also handled by this C. O. G. committee. A large group of girls worked at cleaning and re-arranging the girls' lounge. This renovation, which was carried on in February, was directed by Shirley Marrs, chairman of the Lounge committee, and Miss Alice Caulkins, C. O. G. advisor. Arrangements were made for a washroom in the lounge, as well as an order placed for new and more comfortable chairs. Besides the above mentioned girls the following were also in charge of C. O. G. committees: Dorothy Brown, hall and locker; Eleanor Sutcliff, social; Martha Stouffer, big and little sister; Jaquie Jones, art and display case; and Dorothy Katz, friendly and attendance. Frances Sharperud was also in charge of the C. O. G. programs, and 11a Lou Rosengarten took care of the framing of pictures of C. O. G. officers for both this year and last. The Council of Girls wound up their year of activities when they escorted the incoming sophomores through the school. C. O. G liny Federation Under the leadership of Jim Boettcher, president, and his efficient board of officers, the Boys' Federation of Weatherwax high school turned in a full year of hard service to the entire student body. The school year, 1945-46, also marked the return of Ben Curran as vice principal, and his help and insight helped the Boys’ Federation greatly. Other officers of this year's Federation included Dick Engen, vice president; Herb Newton, secretary and locker chairman, and Jim Erickson, treasurer. Head and shoulders above the other achievements was the handling of the football programs. These programs were taken care of the previous year by Hi-Y Chapter I but the school officials felt that this was too large a project for a club to control so they switched the programs to the auspices of the Boys' Federation. With Engen acting as general chairman; Boettcher, Newton, Erickson, Geddes, D. Johnson, and B. Smith solicited ads from merchants throughout Aberdeen during the early fall. The football programs were all eight pages except for a special Thanksgiving one of twelve pages. There were ten pages in the basketball booklets. A considerable amount was garnered from these programs and the Boys' Senate has been debating on what to give the student-body that would be of the most use. Jim Erickson handled the concession stand during the football season and mainly through his efforts the books showed a good profit. Throughout the year Secretary Newton handled the correspondence and, as head of the Illness Committee, sent messages to boys out of school for any length of time. On the eve of the Hoquiam football classic a pep dance in the McDermoth gym was sponsored by this organization. Mr. Curran said that he hoped to make this event an annual affair. At an assembly towards the end of the year the Boys’ Federation gave out with their annual intra-mural basketball awards. Gene Gregory’s team won the sportsmanship placque and Dick Hilliard's squad was awarded the championship trophy. BOYS' FEDERATION OFFICERS Left to Right: Jim Erickson, Herb Newton, Dick Engen and Jim Boettcher. OCEAN BREEZE EDITOR DICK ENGEN AND THE O. B. STAFF Boy, am I happy, I just got the autographs of several of the O. B. staff members. I guess I ve really got a good definition of the word confusion now, for it so happened that the day I ventured up to room 308 was O. B. deadline day. One staff member was in so much of a hurry he picked up my autograph book and started writing a story on it. Bits of conversation like this floated throughout the room: How can I start this story’,' Hey Dick, how’s this?”, Miss Nerseth, may I finish collecting my ads?” The O. B. was capably edited by Dick Dengen” Engen. Miss Inga Marie Nerseth also did a supurb job during her first year as faculty advisor. This year, as in the past, the Ocean Breeze has been sent to former graduates now in the service. The task of sending these papers went to Clyde Fry. This year’s staff was quite complete with Katharyna Bator and Ronnie Rasanen, business managers; Helen Boora, advertising manager; and Evelyn Hamilton, exchange editor. Other members of the staff were Violet Medak, Alice Ramsey, Francis Linklater, Bill Linklater, Margerite Hutchinson, George Santos, Don Baldwin, Lila Hulet, Don Fleury, Miriam Salmon, Harley Hansen, Alex Poison, Francis Hall, Ned Baker, Gilbert Sneed, Charles Hoonan, Ordell Ellefson and Cliff Hansmann. Well, at last, I finally succeeded in getting the autographs of those two hard working editors, and the photographer, responsible for this year’s Quin-AULT. It seemed as though every time I approached them, they were busy trimming and gluing pictures or else doing one of the million other things which help to put a book together. Most of the mounting of pictures and writing were done by our coeditors, Kharvina Dickgieser and Violet Medak. The boy responsible for the taking of camera reflections was that ace photographer, Dick Gustin. Dorothy Katz handled the business end while Wayne Campbell drew the various cartoons which are shown throughout the book. Two of the main drawbacks of the year were, first, the shortage of film, and second, when film was again available there came a shortage of flash bulbs. The QUINAULT had a new faculty advisor, Mr. Paul Simpson, to whom goes a lot of credit. The editors thank Miss Lois Gwin, former Quinault advisor, for her help and encouragement. Advertising salesmen were Drucilla Reid, Gail Finlayson, Frances Skarperud, Shirley Marrs, Marilyn Dunlap, Janet Reid, Roberta Winn, Russ Austin, Marion Jacobs, Katharyna Bator and Ann McRea. VIOLET MEDAK, DICK GUSTIN, KHARVINA DICKGIESER QUINAULT CUBS ♦ DRILL TEAM v Hubi i Hubba, without giving it too much thought I asked a tew members of Hie drill team to sign their John Henrys in my autograph book. This year's team, led by Delores Skip ' Foster, drilled at the half-time periods of the football games. They really made a pleasing sight in their gold sweaters, with a large blue A” on them, and short blue skirts. Their advisor was Miss Arline Gentis. ♦ ♦ ♦ SPECIAL SERVICE OFFICERS I got the John Henry of my home-room service officer the other day. Boy. those kids really did a perfect job finishing up the sales of war stamps as well as collecting the money for Quinaults. ♦ ♦ ♦ CHECK ROOM AND LOCKER L nder the direction of Heib Newton, this year s checkroom and locker committees functioned smoothly. The checkroom boys checked in the boys coats, while the locker committeemen took care of their books. ♦ ♦ ♦ HALL COMMITTEE Any period in the day, I would be able to get the autograph of one of the girls on hall duty. Bach period finds a different girl on each floor, checking to see that no one was wandering about in the halls without a slip. ♦ ♦ ♦ CURTAIN GOING UP! At the assemly last week I went backstage to get the autograph of one of the performers, but I found that I had the name of the curtain puller instead. The stage crew really did a good job with their behind the scenes jobs. CLIIIS ♦ HOW FAR PLEASE? One day as I rushed around to add more names to my book. I found that I was late to the assembly. As I opened the auditorium door. Leona Goforth, the usher squad captain, stopped me and asked me to be more quiet. This group ushered at ail school assemblies, and the football and basketball games. ♦ ♦ ♦ LATIN CLUB Into my book of cherished autographs went the officers' signatures of this year's Latin Club. They were: Consil. Mary Elizabeth Cottrel; vice-coosil. Russ Austin: treasurer. John Bagwell: and secretary. Marion Lind. Their advisor was Miss Lydia Bush. ♦ ♦ ♦ LATIN CLUB This year's Latin Club students learned about Caesar and the early day Romans. Miss Lydia Busn was their coacelor. ♦ ♦ ♦ MUSCLES PLUS Say. I was really thrilled when Ernie Stein, the Golden A'? club president, signed his autograph— and who wouldn’t be The A club is composed of all the boys who have earned their letter in sports. ♦ ♦ ♦ MR. BARTINES OFFICE STAFF Mr. Bartine's office staff is composed of a group of girls and a boy who help with the selling of tickets and the depositing of moaey in the comptroller office. There were at least two girls in the office each period. ILIBS ♦ G. A A. As I leisurely strolled into the girls' gym a basketball game was going on. but not forgetting why I had come I asked for Marion Jacobs, the Girls Athletic club president. After she gave me her autograph I went in search of the other club officers which are Ruth Schefstrom. vice president; Nancy Sigurdson. Secretary; and Violet Medak, reporter ♦ ♦ ♦ G. A A. I found out that in order to loin the G. A. A you must have earned one hundred athletic points in after-school sports. The dub held one miration this year. Any girl in high school is eligible to itoin the G A. A. Their advisor was Miss Arlene Gentxs. ♦ ♦ ♦ HI Y II Vatet Owrdk AnJemsco die pcesoJrtar oe Hc-Y Ofcipifc ■ II. arvang a sqcatc S-Crt.

The highlight of the class work was a model store built by the members of the group. ♦ ♦ ♦ HI-Y I Under the direction of Mr. Mapes, the Hi-Y I did a lot of helpful work around school. Cliff Hans mann was this year’s president. ♦ ♦ ♦ C. O. G. COMMITTEE HEADS These girls were the committee chairmen for the various activities of the Council of Girls. They did a good job in managing their individual groups, and under their leadership all C. O. G. activities were successful. ♦ ♦ ♦ LOUNGE COMMITTEE Miss Caulkins really had an efficient lounge committee this year. Each period a girl was on duty and had charge of the lounge. ♦ ♦ ♦ TRY-HI-Y I just got another signature from one of the Try-Hi-Y girls. Boy, am I proud, because the Try-Hi-Y really did a lot for the benefit of our school and community. During the Red Cross drives this year the girls helped collect donations at the local theaters. This ambitious group was led by Frances Skar-perud and Lois Robertson, with Miss Inga Marie Nerseth as their advisor. CLUBS ♦ MRS. NORIN’S OFFICE STAFF One afternoon I was called down to the office because I had forgotten to get my absence slip. While I was there I had three girls of Mrs. Norin's office staff sign their autographs. Every period three girls were in the office working, one to handle the switchboard and two to collect attendance slips. ♦ ♦ ♦ SPANISH CLUB Hey, Don, may I have your autograph?” Gosh, thanks. I was sure fortunate to get the autograph of Don Duncan, as he's the president of the Spanish Club. The other officers were Evelyn Hamilton, vice-president; Delores Drake, secretary; and Rose a Leacock, treasurer. ♦ ♦ ♦ TICKETS PLEASE! This year’s ticket takers and sellers’ group was really on their toes. At each game they sold tickets and punched activity cards. They were under the supervision of Mr. Bartine. ♦ ♦ ♦ PEP CLUB Esther Haukeli, this year’s girls' pep club president, just added her name to my collection. The club really looked sharp in blue skirts and yellow sweaters with pep in blue letters on the upper righthand corners. At the football games they sat in a reserved section and boosted the team’s spirit. ♦ ♦ ♦ PEP CLUB The Pep Club presented their annual Thanksgiving Day assembly, which was tops in entertainment. They also give a banquet for the basketball team. The May Day dance is also under their supervision. 1IOMEKOOM 207 This year the senior boys from homeroom 207 decided to be first in every drive put on throughout the year. Although this was a very high goal to set, they came through with flying colors. Even when they were sophomores they did their best. They were sorry to see some of their pals leave for the armed forces, but they knew they were doing their best for the war effort. Those boys who served their country are Jim Beamen, Bob Aronld, Fred Cleveland, John Blaine, Charles Hudson and Teddy Edwards. Mr. Shovlin left homeroom 207 to become vice-principal of the school towards the end of the sophomore year, and they were happy to welcome Mr. Mapes, who helped them by being a very conscientious homeroom teacher. Their junior year was spent keeping high the traditions and spirit of the school. In track Chuck Anderson broke the school record by running the mile in 4:40.6. They placed two boys on the starting line-up in basketball and in baseball, three out of the first nine. Winding up the year in real homeroom tradition, they saw Chuck Anderson and Ned Baker elected to student-body offices, veteran Ernie Stein walking off with a basketball award, and Jack Croghan elected co-captain of the swimming team. This year the spirit of 207 burst forth in full glory. Ernie Stein received the many honors he so well deserved by being elected captain of the football team and placed on the all-conference football and basketball teams. Chuck Anderson and Dick Engen showed their fine qualities in basketball and track. Ten boys have earned one or more letters in sports during their high school careers, but homeroom 207 lays claim to the largest number of three stripers in school. Ernie Stein, Chuck Anderson, Chuck Ellingson and Ron Forsell were all three-year lettermen. Besides being tops in sports they also are proud to have Jim Bates valedictorian of this year's graduating class. Ivan Stuart received the fourth highest grade honors. They have in their homeroom the president and secretary of H-Y II, two officers of H-Y I, former president of the Spanish Club, and editor of the Ocean Breeze, Dick Engen. These accomplishments and many more lead to the rea son why they have shown the finest spirit of any homeroom in the past few years. The activities they completed as a group are: First homeroom to become 100% in the Quinault subscription drive, first to reach 100% in the Ocean Breeze drive, only homeroom to send a contribution to the Sunshine Kids, equipped two hospital boxes for wounded service men, and made a substantial contribution to the injured Canadian Merchant Seamen. They also received 100% in the Bond and Stamp drive for twelve successive weeks. At one time the service officer of 207 arrived at the comptroller’s office at 6:30 to report their sales. That is the fine spirit they have shown all three year of high school. SONG QUEENS Left to Right: Lila Hulet, Ann Hulbert, Jean Hesla and Carmen Simbe. ♦ ♦ ♦ I'll bet that our song queens were sore after pulling the Hoquiam song queens to Hoquiam, in wagons, after the Turkey-day football game. Last year's song queens started a new tradition, for in former years it was just the yell staff that participated in the civil-war hikes, wheelbarrow, and wagon rides. The Weatherwax students were really proud of this years song queens, Lila Hulet, Ann Hulbert, Jean Hesla and Carmen Simbe, for their pep and enthusiasm did wonders for the boosting of spirits and hopes during football and basketball games. Rain or shine they were always ready to lead the students body in a cheering song. Many rival schools have commented on the pep and cheerfulness of Lila, Jean, Ann and Carmen, and have stated that they were about the best song queens seen for quite some years. Blue sweaters with a small gold A in the upper lefthand corner, and blue flared skirts with gold song notes around the bottom were the attire of our four pepsters. Each girl also had her name monogramed on her sweater sleeve, in gold. A few of this year’s favorites capably led the song queens were Hat’s Off,” Rah, Rah for Aberdeen,” and ’’The Go Song. §OXG YELL STAFF This year's yell staff was really tops with Bob Kevo as king, and dukes Elmer Pellegrini, and Ronnie Olson. These three boys had more pep than a package of dynamite, and were always ready to lead a peppy yell to cheer the team on to victory. Proving that they were good sports. Bob, Ronnie and Elmer pulled Hoquiam's yell leaders in wagons to their fair city, after the annual civil-war ended in Hoquiam s favor. Our three pepsters wore blue jeans, blue sweaters with gold assessories, and brown and white saddle shoes. Prospects for a good yell staff next year also are prominent for king Kevo and duke Olson are juniors and will again be in school. Duke Pellegrini leaves behind him three years of yell leading. Last year Elmer was yell king and the year before a yell duke. ♦ ♦ ♦ YELL STAFF Left to Right-. Duke. Elmer Pelligrini. King Bob Kevo and Duke Ronnie Olson.

FOOTBALL The gridiron season opened September 14 at the Olympic stadium in Hoquiam. The event was the annual grid jamboree. The ’Cats played fair ball for a green team, setting back Shelton, 7-0 and losing a tough one to Montesano, 7-6. Our first full-length contest was with the veteran Chehalis Bearcats. Led by twelve returned let-termen, the Chehalis eleven had too much experience for the untested Bobcats. Scoring twice in the last half, the Lewis County boys beat the ’Cats with a last-minute touchdown through center. The Bobcats scored on an 188-yard pass from Eldart to Stein. The game ended 13-6 in favor of Chehalis. September 28 found our gridders playing the high-rated Bremerton team, but an inspired Aberdeen team swept over the Navy base boys 12-7 for our first victory. The highlight of the game was the tremendously improved Aberdeen backfield and the fire and spirit not shown in previous contests. Our first league game found the ’Cats playing the powerful Vancouuver Trappers. The first half was entirely Aberdeen’s with the locals rolling up yardage, but they were not able to punch it over. With Captain Ernie Stein in the hospital because of an infected leg the Blue and Gold lost that scoring punch. In the second half the Trappers swept through the secondary with cleverly executed double and triple reverses. The 'Cats scored once on a reverse by Hansen, but the Vancouver lads punched it over twice, giving them the game with a score of 12-6. The next league game was with the Highlanders of Kelso. The Aberdeen gridders scored two touchdowns in the first half to lead 13 to 0 at the half. This game was the first in which Aberdeen found its scoring punch on the ground. With Eldart and Hansen sparking the ground play, the team gave a very good demonstration of power football. In the second half the Kelso boys came back strong, scoring once on a pass interception. The final score was Aberdeen 13, Kelso 6. The ’Cats hit their peak against the hapless Tigers of Centralia. With reserves playing much of the game the Aberdeenites ran the count to 34-14. The star of the contest was Ben Padrick of Centralia, who made two brilliant touchdown runs of 97 and 64 yards. This victory put the ’Cats in second place— the highest our team has ranked in the standings for the past three years. On October 26, the team traveled to Longview. This game was a disappointment to the many Aber- 1of Row: Center John Tracy and Don Noel. Bottom Ro'V:End pictures Ernie Stein ad Harley Hansen. IOOTIIALL deen fans who attended the game. The Lumberjack tried the Bobcat line and found it impenetrable, so the Jacks turned to a passing attack which turned the tide of the game in favor of the Cowlitz county boys. Crashing through for a score in each half, the final total stood at Longview 13, Aberdeen 0. A serious result of this game was severe leg burns inflicted by hot lime. The burns were suffered by most of the starting eleven—a tough break for our gridders. Armistice Day dawned a cloudy gray morning with the outlook for a Bobcat victory just as dark. The game opened with a short Cat march which was turned back by the Bears. The first half was evenly played until Captain Ernie Stein broke through the Olympia secondary, after receiving a pass from Helland, carrying two Bears across the line with him. From then on the ’Cats played savage defensive ball holding the Capital City boys from the coveted pay dirt with one minute remaining, the B ’Cats slipped the ball to the seven-yard line on a sleeper and then ran it over on a reverse. The vital trv-for-point was missed, ending the game in a 6-6 tie. Thanksgiving Day was the day that Bobcat fans could not digest their turkey very well. The speedy Hoquiam Grizzlies tallied once in the first half to lead 6 to 0 at the half. Coming back once more with a strong aerial attack, they scored three more touchdowns to defeat the Bobcats 25 to 0. The entire difference between the teams was the speed and experience of the Hoquiam 'backs. The Aberdeen forward wall played well, holding the Grizzly ’backs to very negligible yardage. Final score—Aberdeen 0, Hoquiam 25. Aberdeen 6 Chehalis 13 Aberdeen 12 Bremerton 7 Aberdeen 6 Vancouver 12 Aberdeen 13 Kelso 6 Aberdeen 34 Centralia 14 Aberdeen 0 Longview 13 Aberdeen 6 Olympia 6 Aberdeen 0 Hoquiam 25 Letter winners were: Seniors—Bud Rowe, Al Smith, Harley Hansen, Ernie Stein, Don Noel, Chuck Hoonan, John Tracy, Alex Poison, Don Fleury, Louis Southworth, Russ Germain, Denny Bochenski. Juniors—Frank Horne, Ken Castile, Don Eldart, Gene Edwards, Jim Boettcher, Bill Swanson, Gene Briscoe. Sophomores—Fred Helland, Jerry McClellan, George Howard, John Smethers, and manager, Ted Ayres. Ernie Stein won the Perry Clark award. Chuck Hoonan the Coaches award, Harley Hansen the John Mashin ring, and Don Noel the George Savage Memorial award. Top Row: Steve Miliovilich, Mr. Bivens, Harley Hansen. Bottom Row: Ernie Stein, Bob Kevo, Chuck Anderson and Gene Edwards. BASKETBALL The hard driving Aberdeen Bobcat basketball five started the 1945-46 season strong; then feil prey to a disastrous midseason slump only to roar back in the final game to almost fight their way to a state tournament berth. Coach A1 Bivens started the season with five lettermen—Ernie Stein, Chuck Anderson, Steve Mihovilich, Harley Hansen and Rich Caldwell--but the latter soon eliminated himself by not showing enough interest. The comeback these four remaining lettermen, along with Bob Kevo and Jim Whitey Abrahamson, made in the last games is now history. The gallant uphill struggle should serve as a driving force to future Aberdeen teams when the going gets tough. Wallace Brown, a sophomore, moved up from the B-squad for the final play-off tilts, also helped the Cats. Other members of the squad were Dick Engen, a senior; Bob McGillicuddy and Gene Edwards, juniors; and John Smethers, a sophomore. The six returning lettermen should give Coach Bivens a fairly strong nucleus to build next year's team arounud. Players, fans, coaches, officials and anyone else connected with this year's Northern division Southwest Washington conference were impressed by the closeness of the race for the league title. At the basketball banquet, held in the middle of April for the teams, coaches, student-body presidents, and principals of all the Northern division schools it was brought out, however, that sportsmanship and clean playing were paramount in this year’s scramble for the crown. The Cats opened the season early in December against Valley, at Menlo, without the services of Stein, who was out with an injured leg. Edwards led the ragged ’Cats with 10 points as Aberdeen controlled the backboards to win, 22-14. In their first home appearance, against Morton, the ’Cats started clicking in the second half to register a 45-20 victory. Kevo rang up 10 points. The locals marked up another win at the expense of Valley by a 47-27 margin. Anderson and Edwards led the deadly shooting Bobcats with 11 counters each. In an overnight trip Aberdeen managed to come to life in the second half and w’in their fourth straight game, from South Kitsap, 42-33. At Bremerton the next night the ’Cat cagers hit their first Top Row. Dick Engen, Mr. Sherwood, Norman Rowe. Bottom Row: Bob McGillicuddy, Jim Boettcher, John .Mnethers and Jim Abrahamson. BASKETBALL snag and bowed 37-30 to the team that finished second in the State tournament. Anderson tallied 14 points in the South Kitsap game and Stein 12 in the Bremerton tilt. The final week before Christmas vacation saw Aberdeen take two victories from the Centralia Tigers. One by a 40-25 score and the other, 29-25. Stein again led the scorers with 13 counters in the first game. In the last tune-up game on January 2, Anderson with 17 points, led the way to 53-25 shellacking of the Naselle Comets. The league opened January 4th with Aberdeen handing Shelton a 44-26 setback. Anderson led the way with 18 points, his best scoring effort of the year. In their next game, with Montesano, the smooth working 'Cats turned in one of their best games of the year, winning 45-23 as Stein hit for 14 points. Weatherwax High took over the league leadership for a short time as they put the skids on Raymond, 46-36. Stein racked up 19 points for the best individual mark for the 'Cats for the year. The 'Cats then started slumping and lost to Hoquiam 37-22 after starting the first quarter strong. Aberdeen squeezed by Olympia 25-23, but then dropped a tilt to Elma by a 4-26 margin. At the end of the first round Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Montesano, and Olympia were all tied for first place. Against Shelton, a home game, Abrahamson started his first game and tallied 12 points as most of the regulars were off-form. Aberdeen won 34-16. Aberdeen forged back into the league lead with a 36-26 victory over Montesano but then blew a 10-point lead and bowed to Raymond 40-39. Stein collected 14 points in the Seagull tilt. Stein netted 12 points in the game with Hoquiam but his best efforts were for naught as the Grizzlies won 35-28. Aberdeen, however, had pulled out of their slump by the Hoquiam tilt and swept past Olympia 37-27 and Elma 39-20 to end up in a tie with Raymond and Olympia for second place. Kevo led the Bobcats to a 44-37 victory over Raymond in the first play-off at Montesano. The weary 'Cats showed signs of wear as they beat Olympia 41-28. Aberdeen then had to travel to Kelso to meet Battle Ground for a state tourney berth but the strain of four games in six days proved too much as the 'Cats bowed 37-29 to the rangy Tiger cagers.

TRACK Boy, was I good and sore the first week that Coach Cece Sherwood called track turnouts. The season started with but four lettermen; Harley Hanson, Gene Edwards, Glen Stanley, and Chuck Anderson, the county mile record holder whose time was 4:40.6. There were quite a few sophomores turning out this year and a few juniors so next year's team will have many lettermen to boast the team. r Members of the team were Charles Anderson, Gordon Anderson, Waldie Anderson, Russell Austin, Ned Baker, Steve Black. Albert Bocek, Jim Boettcher.

BASEBALL As I walked up to the Natatorium with hopes of finding some more autographs to add to my list, 1 ran into some fellows who turned out to be the baseball squad. The three year lettermen were Charles Ellingson, Ronald Forsell, Dick Hannula, Dick Hilliard, Calvin Morrill, Don Noel, and Ernie Stein. Others on the team were Jim Abrahamson, Tony Basich, Gene Briscoe, Dick Butorac, Don Christiansen, Jack Croghan, Jack Dixon, Ordell Ellefson, Elmer Fitzpatrick, Russ Germain, David Harkonen, Ralph Hillier, Francis Jarman, Dirk Johnson, Don Johnson, Floyd La Croix, Richard Luikko, Bruce Messingale, Ronnie Olson, Ken Paul, Frank Payne, Elmer Pellegrini, Harold Skadden, Albert Smith, Jerry Smith, Newton Whitcher, and Charles Hoonan. The boys started out with a bang, but then old man Jupiter Pluvius started dropping and laid the team up for quite some time. Despite the weather and other blows bestowed on the baseball team they really played some good ball. Walt Pop Miller was the coach and Eddie Stipic, the manager.

I was looking for Marion Jacobs, the president of the girls’ athletic association. I’ve already got the autograph of the G. A. A. vice-president, Ruth Schefstrom in my autograph book. The other officers of the club were Nancy Sigurdson, secretary; and Violet Medak, reporter. Any girl in the high school interested in sports is eligible to join this club. The only requirement is that she earn a hundred points in after school sports. After earning these points she is initiated and becomes a member of the G. A. A. The Girls Athletic Association has charge of these sports but it is not required to belong to the G. A. A. to take part in these sports. Volleyball was the first sport played, and about thirty girls turned out for it. There were about three sophomore, two junior, and one senior team. The tournament was won by a sophomore team. The most popular sport of the year was basketball, and there was a large turnout. The seniors had one team, the juniors two, and the sophomores had four. The basketball tournament was won by the seniors. The high scorer in basketball was Violet Medak, who made 153 points. Delores Denison was second with 102 points. Two ping-pong and badminton tournaments were also sponsored by the G. A. A. Finishing up the sport activities were baseball and archery which were started late in the spring. The G. A. A. held one initiation in November this year. Two of the activities of the G. A. A. were a swimming party at the natatorium and a wiener roast was held to celebrate the purchase of a new couch and the burning of the old one. This year the girls decided to finish the remodeling of the girls' gym which was started last year. The G. A. A. advisor was Miss Arline Gentis.

I was really fortunate to get the autographs of the members of the band. According to Mr. Hjelmervik, the music director, this year's band was the biggest and best since before the war. The band, composed entirley of boys, had about sixty members. Prospects for next year are high, for the only senior band member was Don Red Vasbinder. To make sure that at least half of the band was present at the basketball games, the band was divided into two sections, A and B”. These sections took turns playing at the games. When Aberdeen's basketball team played Battleground, to decide which team would go to the tournament, a small pep band was organized and attended that game. The band participated in three concerts this year, two longhair, and one swing. At the Swing Concert, which is by far the most popular, some of the favorites played were Rhapsody in Blue,” Bad Boy Boogie,” and At the Gremlin Ball.” When the band journeyed to Olympia for the Southwest Washington Band Meet, they received a superior rating, which is the highest rating given. Much of the credit for the band's success goes to Mr. Kenneth Hjelmervik, the director. ORCHESTRA Mr. Hjelmervik rendered the baton to Miss Chehak for the direction of the orchestra this year. The orchestra attempted many difficult pieces this year and succeeded in acquiring high appraisal from their audiences. Officers of the group were president, Pat McManemy; secretary, Bonnie Rasor; librarian, Delores Marshall. The highlight of their performances was the swing concert which was given March 19 by the complete music department. The affair which probably caused the most excitement among members was the music meet which was held for the first time since the war. What a day that was. Really though, all days are wonderful when you can enjoy music as they do. This year, for the first time since the war, the choir traveled to Vancouver for a music meet. What a day! Music in their ears till on in the wee hours. The students really worked hard with Mr. Hjelmervik to make a great success and everyone was pleased with the outcome. mom Back Row: Joe Pritchard, Phil Zabiaka, Donald Dye, Dick Davies, Barton McKagen, John Smcthers, Wayne Campbell, Fred Johnson, Gilbert Sneed, Dick Graham, Don Rogers. 4th Row: Norman Roehl, Bob Sipe, Jack Ahlf, Bob McGhee, Bob Cowan, Gene McKagan, Gordon Elliot, Dolores Marshall, Jean Hesla, Jeanine Jolly, Marrianna Graves. 3rd Row: Ramona O'Brien, Pat Schilreff, Mary Ellen Davidson, Ethel Throckmarton, Laura Linnenkohl, Pat Jasper, Marrianna Clubb, Clarene Haskins, Alice Thompson, Helen Dale, Edna Munsell, Roberta Skadden. 2nd Row: Sally Kiezier, Mary Jean Smith, Molly Halverson, Janet Kelley, Doris Nord- strom, Eleanor Sutcliff, Margie Leitch, Lois Christenson, Lois Johnson, Barbara Hutchinson, Phyllis Smith, Ruth Beatty, Phyllis Cummings. 1st Row: Aloha Robinson.

OIMIIESTIIA III-.JIW Due to the originality of the plot and the hard working cast, Variety Review” was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding Hi-Jinx performances ever witnessed in Weatherwax High. It was composed of three definitely different stages in musical entertainment. The Gay 90’s— Murphy's Gardens”—was opened by a song from Mildred Dobbins, representing Miss 1895. A rib-tickling mello drama entitled The Great Bottleneck Diamond kept the audience in stitches, and starred Earl Englund as the father, Ronnie Rasanen as the hero, Richard Clark as the curses, what a night to steal a chicken” villain, Martha Stouffer as the daughter and heroine, and Ruth Finney as the old-maid sister. Charles Hoonan was the head waiter, and introduced such acts as: The Singing Waiters (Davies, Elliott, Roehl, Pritchard, and McKagen), and the Can-Can Chorus” (Jean Hesla, Colleen Prather, Lila Hulet, Maxine Hampton, Joyce Mann, Joanne Abra-hamson, Annette Ward, and Ann Hulbert). The Palace”—Variety House—was opened by a song by Virginia Colby, portraying Miss Vaudeville. Ned Baker was master of ceremonies, and he cleverly announced the Magic of Hilliard,” the boys quintets’ rendition of that old favorite Margie,” For Me and My Gal sung by Phil Zabiaka and Joyce Mann, and a song and dance act by Olson and Pellegrini. Miss 1945 was portrayed by Jean Hesla, from whence Ronnie Olson took over as M. C. The Weatherwax choir, Lois Anderson, and Colleen Prather aptly took care of the singing, while Olson and Pellegrini again entertained us with an original skit. If Men Played Cards As Women Do” with Ken Roberts, Russ Austin, Ned Baker, and Ronnie Rasanen was laughingly received, as was a reading by Ruth Finney. A self-explanatory Street Ballet” wound up the evening’s performance, and proved to be the highlight of the production. Starring Gilbert Sneed and Mildred Dobbins, with a mixed chorus for background, an excellent piece of acting, singing, and dancing was enacted. Mary Jeanne Shaver, the director, was assisted by Jean Hesla as smden' director. SENIOR PLAY THE M(.IIT OF JAM Altl 16th CHARACTERS Karen Andre.............. District Attorney Flint.

The Night of January 16th varied in type, from the senior class plays of previous years, for instead of comedy it turned out to be a dramatical murder trial. The outcome of the play was not known even to the cast, for it was entirely up to a jury picked from the audience to decide whether or not Karen Andre was guilty of murder. The three acts take place in the Superior Court of the state of New York. During the first act, various witnesses are being questioned by District Attorney Flint and Defense Attorney Stevens as the evidence mounts up against Karen Andre, the defendant, who is on trial for the murder of her employer, a Mr. Faulkner. Not until the second act does the thrilled audience find out that Karen Andre really did not know of her victim's actual death. But, during the third act, a story of swindling, forgery, and intrigue is told to a surprised jury and audience. The defense attorney concludes his case with an impassioned plea to the jury to look to their hearts for an answer to Karen Andre’s guilt. The district attorney asks the jury to consider the facts alone. The jury returns a verdict of not guilty. The performance given by Ruth Finney was exceptional, while Charles Anderson and Francis Linklater deserve equal honors. The Night of January 16th had its audience in a state of suspense with its dramatical dialogue and the ability of all of the cast. Much of the credit to the success of this play goes to Miss Mar)' Jeanne Shaver, who capably directed it. In the behind the scenes department, Juanita Gabol did a supurb job of handling all publicity and Earl Millen and Shirley Gardner did good work on the posters. Frances Skarperud and Ila Lou Rosengarten worked on properties, while the make-up department was handled by Adele Norin and Druscilla Reid. SFMOIt PLAY Snap! ♦ What’s the joke, son?
