You see your old friends and experience again some of the activities which will always stand out in your mind. As you look at the pictures you remember “that dance and the fun you had taking part in this play or that assembly. You feel again the excitement you felt during that all-important game or meet—whether you were a participant or just a spectator. You remember the hours you spent to complete that certain term paper or project and the night you stayed up to study for “the” big exam. Yes, you thought the teacher was unjust at the time; but you wouldn't trade that knowledge for anything now. In much the same way that you treasure snapshots and clippings in your scrapbook, we have tried to recapture some of the most important phases of your years in Weatherwax in a book that you will treasure more and more as the years go on. For her deep personal interest in each of her students, for her untiring efforts in behalf of the Honor Society and all things scholastic, we affectionately dedicate our 1949 Quinault to our retiring chemistry teacher— Mrs. Vera Phelps Hamilton.

Perry Rosen, student body president, led the Weatherwax senate through one of its most active years. I he discussions, spark-plugged by Tom Parker, president pro-tem and parliamentarian of the senate, proved to be very interesting and exciting. The senate, the most responsible governing body in our system of student government, is comprised of one member from each homeroom, the members of the Board of Control and delegates from the large groups of the school. All functions are governed by a constitution and set rules of procedure. The other officers who carried out the business of the student body were George Ballasiotes, vice-president; Charles Vammen, treasurer: Nancy Mercier, secretary; and Joe Fisher, yell king. Mr. Londahl was advisor to this group. The seven members of the Board of Control, including the presidents of the Boys’ Federation and the Council of Girls, passed on all appropriations scheduled to appear before the senate. Bills and documents passed by the senate have been extremely useful in smoothing out the rough spots in student government. The students of Weatherwax, through the senate, have proved that they are not only capable of governing themselves, but that they can do it well. a added ? • —senior Left to right: Russ Hulct, vice president; Janies Duncan, president; Donald Hannula, secretary. C faSS JJistor V On June 2, 1949, Wcathcrwax bid goodbye to one of the most active and athletic classes in its history. Under the leadership of Jim Duncan, president of the senior class, and with the guidance of Mr. Mapes, faculty advisor, the Class of ’49 sponsored a number of very successful activities. The other two elected officers were Russ Hulet, vice-president, Don I lannula, secretary. The Senior Class stood out in athletics probably more than anything else. A total of 36 seniors earned a letter in a major sport and many more received minor sport monograms. The highlight of the 1948-49 athletic season was the week of March 16-20. when the basketball team, after a long battle to the State Tournament, emerged as the number four team in the State by-winning three out of four games at Seattle. The team had the most successful season since 1937, winning nineteen out of twenty-four games. On the same day that the Basketball Tournament ended, the swimming team, made up almost entirely of seniors, captured their second consecutive State Championship. In doing so they set three new state records and are heralded by many veterans as the greatest team in Washington State high school swimming history. The only thing that hampered an otherwise successful spring sports season was, as usual, the weatherman. Another highlight of the school year was the annual Alumni Dance which was held at the Armory under the leadership of general chairman Tom Parker. Music was furnished by Bob Harvey and his orchestra. The Senior Play, “Young April,” w'as one of the outstanding dramatic achievements of the year. Donna Feifer and Bob Zelasko took the lead roles. On May 6, Arnold Jones and Natalie Higgens w'ere crowned King and Queen at the annual Pep Club May Day dance. May 13th proved to be an eventful day for the class, beginning with Senior Dress-up Day in the morning and afternoon and climaxed with the Graduation Ball in the evening. Jim Duncan was general chairman for the dance and he appointed Delores Bostwick and Diane Forest to handle decorations. Tom Parker was in charge of music, Phil Clark took care of the tickets and programs, and George Ballasiotes handled the publicity end. School ended for the seniors with a bang on May 27, when they put on the annual “Class Night.” The Baccalaureate was held on May 29, and on June 2, the Graduation Exercises took place with Catherine Garbe, valedictorian; Marvelle Burris, salutatorian: Bob Zelasko, class speaker, and Tom Parker, faculty choice speaker sharing the speaking honors. s, enlord PAT ACKLIN Drill Team 2, 3, 4 Senior Play 4 Jr. Soph.

This year the peppy juniors, under the capable leadership of president Elmer Wallin, have set the pace in various school events. A distinct change from last year’s Junior-Senior Prom, was held March 25. This year the juniors gave the seniors a much needed rest and took complete charge of this affair. The theme was “Mardi Gras” and the girls’ gym was colorfully decked out in gay carnival trappings. Elmer Wallin was general chairman and the decorations were planned and supervised by Pat Lawrence and Nancy Mercier. Ginger DcKraay starred in the junior version of the Junior-Sophomore Play, “A Date With Judy” and she also won a place on the all-star performance Friday, March 4. Others winning places in the all-star performance were: Nancy Hanrahan, Nancy Mercier, Anne Malinowski, Dick Solberg, Alan McMillan, Barbara Espedal, Bonnie Woolf, Joanne Pettit, Norman Wall, Karen Wise and Bob McAllister. Pat Lawrence supervised the junior production. The juniors have made an outstanding contribution to sports this year with Arnold DeHart, Elmer Wallin, Jean Embry, Gordon Fleming, John Carlson and Bob Grume making the “A” squad football team. Those juniors, on the “B” squad this year, who expect to see action on the “A” squad next year, include: Bill Rajcich, Dick Scroggs, Alan McMillan, Rich Covall and Tom Sandwick. Kenny Palmer, Walt Brudvik and Dave Randich made good showings on the “A” squad basketball team and will probably be mainstays of next year’s team. Jim Roebeck, Johnny Carlson, Milt Lawson, and George Vlastelica were sparkplugs on the “B” squad and will see much action next season. Our state champion swimming team could hardly have done so well without the aid of its junior swimmers, Wright Benson, Chuck Graham, Paddy Burris, Harvey Christiansin, Vic Korpi and Darrel Kretz. When it comes to the problem of school government, we feel that the two junior student body officers, Nancy Mercier, secretary, and Charles Vammen, treasurer, have done more than their share in helping Weatherwax with a well run government. The yell staff also was benefitted greatly by yell duke Bill Moore and his contributions of pep at games and assemblies. Assisting in the governing of the junior class were Elmer Wallin, president; John Carlson, vice president; Beverly West, secretary; and Nancy Hanrahan, treasurer.

Left to right: Rich Rasanen, vice president; Bab Smith, president; Bob Munro, secretary. In the opinion of many sophomores the class of ’51 is to he one of the most ambitious and active classes ever to enter Weatherwax High School. This year the class was led by an executive staff, composed entirely of boys. Tall Bob Smith filled the president’s shoes and was ably assisted by v ice president Richard Rasanen and secretary Bob Munro. Although being well represented in all athletics, the sophomores especially boast many outstanding players in football, basketball, and track. Gordon Brown, Bob Smith, and Gene Wilson were particularly outstanding in the major sports. Among those who showed well in football and basketball were Jerry Smith, Glen Best, Paul Karshner, Bud Pattison, Bob Munro. Rich Rasanen, Bob “Gabby” Fisher and Harold Bergstrom. Warren Spangler represented the class on the swimming team. After winning championships in football and basketball in junior high, these boys are looking forward to gaining laurels for A. H. S. The boys are not the only ones who made a name for themselves. The girls, too, are well represented. Carol Nielson and Gerry Bardv kept in step as majorettes of our band, while Carole Danielson, Gloria Acker, Elinor Lea, with senior Carol Estes, were the snappy majorettes which led the drill team. February 1 brought one of the biggest events of the year—the Sophomore Play—“A Date With Judy.” Rich Egner kept the audience laughing as he played the mean little brother, Randolph. Nancy Clark held the lead role as Judy. John Marvin as Oogie, Eileen Tervo as Mother and Phil Symons as Father were other who participated in the play. In the combined sophomore-junior all-star production on February 9 Rich Egner, Janet Christensen, and Carolyn Schaffer represented the class. The singing of Virginia Churchill and Jean Taber was enjoyed by the whole school. Both of these girls appeared in the Minstrel-Hi-Jinx and performed many times in assemblis and on “Weatherwax Reports.” The Class of’51 presented an assembly which had its highlight on humor on April 1. Dennis Prather was master of ceremonies and much sophomore talent was brought forth during the program. Leaderettes, Pep Club, K. O. B., Weatherwax Reports, G. A. A., and the Drill Team are all well represented by the underclassmen. The Sophomore Hop was another of their projects. It was held on May 6 and had for its theme “Dogpatch”—a hard times dance. Dancers came dressed in jeans and loud colored shirts and this along with the decorations gave a very colorful atmosphere to the affair. But the accomplishments of this class could not have been succesful without the careful guidance of its advisors, Miss Hebert, Mr. Newman, and Miss Huntzicker. To them the sophomores gave their thanks!

The senior class boasts twenty-six members who through six semesters in senior high school have maintained a “B” grade average and have earned the required number of activity points. The junior class with thirty-two and the sophomore class with forty-eight bring the membership up to one hundred six. To become a member one must have a “B” grade average and must earn fifteen ativity pints a semester. Members are also chosen for their character, citizenship, and leadership. Since Weatherwax’s chapter is a member of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools, the names of student who maintain these requirements are sent to this organization. Each member is entitled to an honor society pin. The sophomores wear a one-bar pin. the juniors a two-bar pin, and the seniors a torch pin. At graduation each senior member receives a National Honor Society torch pin. Plans are being made for the Honor Society to publish hand books on Weathcrwax High School These books would contain the curriculum activities, awards, and information about life around school. Letters and copies of their books have been received from several different schools in the United States. These letters not only told how the various chools compiled their books, but also how much it cost. Those who might be considered the busiest members of the Honor Society are Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Hill who are the advisors, Jean Boerner who records the activity points,, and Betty Cooper who is in charge of the distribution of the pins. Others who are also doing their part in making the Society a success are Joan Berken, president; Tom Parker, vice president; and Stella Ragus, secretary. Left to right: Dick Solberg. treasurer; Tom Parker, president; Vic Hampson. vice president; Marv Rinker, secretary. The Bovs’ Federation, an organization whose purpose is to maintain and promote fellowship, sportsmanship, and welfare among all the boys of the school, completed another active year. Officers included Tom Parker, president; Vic Hampson, vice president; Marvin Rinker, secretary, and Dick Solberg, treasurer. All boys enrolled in school are automatically members. Many committees whose work is invaluable in the function of the school make up the body of the Federation. The K. O. B., the school’s foremost service group, directed traffic and spectators at all athletic contests and served faithfully at dances, assemblies and concerts. With Almon Basden as chairman the Locker committee worked hard to keep boys’ books in order. Members were present at their stations before and after school and between classes to serve the boys. Harry Baumgardner and the Checkroom committee took good care of coats and hats and developed a fast system of collecting and giving out coats. Secretary Marvin Rinker and the Friendship committee sent get-well notes to ill members and tried to create a better feeling of friendliness among the boys. The Projection Crew was another committee whose work was most valuable to the school. 1 hey were in charge of showing instructional motion pictures to various classes as well as running movies in assemblies and they showed noon movies as their own special undertaking. The Football Program committee was a good money making activity for the Boys’ Fed. Harry Baumgardner and Tom Parker were in charge of soliciting advertising and then selling the attractive programs at all home football games. Led by hard working Dick Solberg the Concession committee sold pop, candy, peanuts and other refreshments at all home football games. This group had a lot of hard work to do and carried out their job well. Many boys, a list too numerous to mention, put in much time and service to make the work of the committees a success. The Boys’ Federation held their annual Thanksgiving eve Rally Dance which helped to create spirit for the “big game” and sponsored the Thanksgiving slogan contest; won this year by Jim Duncan with the slogan “Color the Mud with Grizzly Blood.” Among progressive improvements were the building of a new concession stand on the east end of the football field and the purchase of a $750.00 popcorn machine. The foul shooting contest and intramural program gave an opportunity for all boys to participate in basketball. In the foul shooting first place went to Earl Thygeson. Layton Woolf captained his team to the championship in the intramurals while Pat O’Connor’s team was awarded the sportsmanship award. Mr. Curran was advisor of the Federation and guided the group with intelligent advice and suggestion. j(. a a One of the most active and useful but little recognized groups in our school is the K. O. B. Made up of twenty-two members of the three classes, the K. O. B. served as handymen and trouble shooters in nearly all of the school’s activities. On the athletic side of school life, duties found them present at all football and basketball games, and at the track meets performing a variety of very valuable services. They were also on the job at plays, dances, and concerts, including this year’s music meet. The boys deserve credit for a splendid job on the fire at the Aberdeen-Hoquiam game rally. Alex Bravos, one of the nine graduating senior members, served as captain and Mr. Lee Armstrong acted as advisor to the group. Toward the end of May the boys took a little time out for relaxation at their annual swimming party and picnic. C hccl’r i oom The year 1948-49 has been very interesting for the members of the checkroom. Several things were done to make the work of the group easier including the installation of new tags and hangers. Even with this great improvement, the boys had to make a lot of adjustments to get used to the new three minute passing period. Members of the checkroom are Harry Baumgardner, chairman; Tom Birk and Don Forstrom who are seniors; and Dan Ball, Fred Holland. Don Holmlund, Dave Luark, Arnold Mosley, and Ricky Kelly, who are juniors. (TfCocherd The locker committee closed their stalls w ith I but one thought in mind—At last! This year has seen a few noteworthy changes in the locker setup. The lockers were not opened every period. In the morning they were closed to all those except the band members and in the afternoon they were opened only to the choir members. The duty of each member was to be at his post before and after school to check books in and out of the lockers. This responsibility required honesty and faithfulness on the part of every member. Chairman of the lockers this year was Almon Basden. Under him served Jim Ball, Bill Pierce, Alex Bravos, Clarence Carney, Jerry Simon, Melvin Loomis, Eugene Wheeler, Robert Kessinger and Leo Gormley. J p I Council of K JiriS CrRP.d nf Council nf Girls C ourtcous at any time, and 0 orderly as well. U nsclfish in your every act and N eat and natural. C onsiderate of other folks, and 1 ndividuals.

S incere with friend and foe alike, Courageous to face sorrow, You’ll be a girl worth knowing, A leader of tomorrow. 1 he principal of this creed has helped the C. O. G. to maintain a well organized group this year. Under the leadership of Delores Bostwick, president; Karla Hansen, vice president; Stella Ragus, secretary; and Elaine Taylor, treasurer, these girls participated in many activities including traveling to two Southwest Washington Girls’ League Conferences—one at Centralia on October 16, 1948, and the other at Raymond on April 23, 1949. C. O. G. monthly assemblies which were for all girls, brought up business and provided entertainment for the enjoyment of all. Also the group put on the annual Christmas assembly. There were six standing committees which were active during the year and supported by the whole Council. The Red Cross committee was headed by Marie Du Bay and Donna Lundquist. These girls attended a regional meeting at Olympia in October. The Junior Red Cross was also instrumental in infatile paralysis drives and the X-ray mobile unit collections. New girls entering the school were warmly received by a party put on by the Big and Little Sister and Friendly committees. These committees also arranged to have big sisters for the incoming girls who acquainted them with high school. Anne Malinowski and Frances Missel were the heads of these committees. Miss Caulkins, girls’ advisor, helped the girls a great deal in promoting co-operation and understanding. r LeuderetteA 1 he Leaderettes, well-known by their blue and gold jackets and gold blouses and navy skirts, spent the year ushering at all school functions. They also ushered at various outside activities. Led by president, Winnie Rattie, vice-president, Marlene Paul, and secretary-treasurer, Frances Missell first semester; and president, Elnora Ogan, vice-president, Nancy Hanrahan, and secretary-treasurer, Karen Wise second semester; the girls attracted much favorable attention at every function. Sophomores were admitted at the beginning of the second semester when some of the senior girls droppd out. Seniors who completed their service in Leaderettes were: Delores Bostwick, Jody Greer, Peggy Groseclose, Martha Hennie, Dolores Kistler, Gloria Hermsen, Frances Missell, Marlene Paul, Winnie Rattie, Stella Ragus, Aldalee Simonson and Elsie Smith. izwrs earn Under the leadership of Miss Kretch-mer the drill team got under way for another year. It consisted of 36 members and four majorettes, Carol Danielsen, Carol Estes, Gloria Acker and Eleanor Lea. These girls performed during half-time intermission at football games. Their main performance was at the annual Aberdeen-Hoquiam football game on Thanksgiving Day. These girls put in manv long hours of work in order to make colorful performances. Their uniforms consisted of nav blue pleated skirts with gold pieces inserted in them, each having navy blue sweaters to match with a gold A on them. Along with a navy blue hat. this made a very outstanding uniform. Pep CU With a membership of 150 girls the Pep Club backed the Bobcat teams throughout the year. They were present at all football games and presented the Thanksgiving Day assembly. On March 30th they held the annual basketball banquet for the A and B squads. This banquet was held at the Presbyterian church. Thev also sponsored the May Day dance which was held May 6th at the Miller Natatorium. Under the guidance of Miss Kretchmer. their advisor, the Pep Club sponsored dances at the YMCA and held candy and bake sales. Officers of the 1948-49 club were: president. Carolyn Campbell; vice president, Donna Haines; secretary, Gloria Egge; and treasurer. Dorothy Courtright. cjLouncje (Committee The Lounge committee has a member on duty in the girls’ lounge each period of the day to assist in the maintenance of this useful branch of the Council of Girls Organization. The committee has charge of the first aid room, loan box, and sewing and mending materials. It is largely their efforts that keep the lounge attractive and pleasant. The girls act as hostesses for visitors and new' girls and take care of small clerical tasks that arise in the operation of the room. This year the following girls have served on the committee: Alvina LaLande, Dorothy Courtright, Delores Kistler, Marilyn Garner, Norma Jones, Bonnie Jones, Jeanette Hall and Jackie Dionne. Cf. 4. 4. With the largest membership s'nce it started, the self-supporting Girls’ Athletic Association had one of its most active years. Probably the most important event of the year was a big Playday, held on April 30. The schools participating in this affair were Olympia, Shelton, Hoquiam, Ocosta, Quinault, Raymond. South Bend. Elma, Montesano, Centralia and Chehalis. Officers for the past year have been Pat Wilson, president; Pat Fullerton, vice-president; Nancy Hanrahan, secretary and treasurer; and Donna Wood, historian. Their many activities include volley-ball, basketball, baseball, badminton, ping-pong, a foul shooting contest and candy sales throughout the year. Office Stuff The office staff this year was under the direction of Mrs. Norin. There are three girls for each period; two of which collect and check the attendance slips, while the other girl works the switchboard and does filing in the office. This is good experience for any girl who is interested in office work. These girls not only get practical experience from this work but also give valuable service to the school. For this work each girl receives one office practice credit a semester. The Comptroller’s office, under the direction of Mr. Bartine, is in charge of all the financial arrangements for all student activities. Tickets to the games may be bought there and also all supplies. The staff consists of Charles Vammen, treasurer; Barbara Stuart, tax accountant; Betty Cooper, Donna Lundquist, Frances Missell, Ken McMillan and Ken Wallin, bookkeepers. Others taking office practice are Darlene Young, Laverna Cochrane, Don Fairbairn, Virginia Churchill, Pat Johnson, Wayne Johnson, Marilyn Jones, Evelyn Green, Virginia Fisher, and Lois Reuther. Sicbet Sab I cl Sell erS ana erS The squad of Ticket Takers and Sellers, under the charge of Mr. Bartine, has been very small this year. The extra games and dances put on have given the members of this force full schedules. The Group is an important part of the school life and its activities. The feeling that they are really needed makes up for the hard work and lack of recognition. The positions on the squad are high in activity points. Ticket Takers and Sellers arrive early and leave late at all functions. After the real rush at the gate is over, the extra members of the squad may see the game or play, if they wish. Special Service Off icerS The Special Service Officers represented their home room in the management of business affairs of the school. Working under the direction of Mr. Bartine and the comptroller’s office, it was their job to take care of student body membership drives, Quinault subscriptions and ticket sales. Those who served on the committee this year included Wes Rhodes, Junior Ellingson, Buddy Pattison, Elaine Taylor, Pat Lawrence, Rose Fitzpatrick, Dick Easter, A1 Pierce, Barbara Seylcr, Gordon Barnes, Bob Smith, Florence Wonsewicz, Frances Missel, Gloria Egge, Larry Easter, Dolores Arnold, Mary Louise Fairbairn, Christine Kyvik, Willow Kretz, Betty Cooper, Bob Crume, Farrel Taylor, Bill Rajcich and Harry Baumgardner. Cdrew Headed by Jean Embry, chairman, the stage crew completed a year of efficient service to the school’s assemblies and plays. The crew consisted of Embry, Bob Cooper, Lee Elmgren, Stan Bubnick and Bob Pressno. Mr. Mayne was faculty advisor. Handling the lights and the curtain, helping to build the sets for the school plays and helping in all of the school assemblies comprised the main duties of the group. detail Setting Aside from class work and down town employment the club this year had an enjoyable time planning for the State Retailers’ Convention which was held in Aberdeen. The convention, a huge success, brought many high school students to view Aberdeen retail stores and surrounding territory of our city. The club has been built up this year by the students enrolled in Retailing. They have taken a broader interest in the state Retailing clubs. A1 Pierce was chosen to go to the National Retailers’ Convention in Topeka, Kansas. Officers were Wayne Cotton, president; Shirley Wambolt, vice president; Elsie Smith, treasurer and Betty Coic, reporter and historian. projection drew Under the leadership of Presidents Glen Hulet and Alan McMillan, the Projection Crew has accomplished a great deal this year. Besides the regular duties of showing movies in classes and at assemblies and operating the projection booth during plays, assemblies and concerts, the crew has recorded the concerts, shown movies at the Sanitorium in Elma, sponsored a dance, “Rhythm on Reels,” and added to the Christmas atmosphere at Weatherwax by arranging between-class music during the holiday season. With Mr. Curran as advisor the Projection Crew successfully completed a difficult year. cJ i tin cu This year’s Latin Club was divided into two sections, the fourth and sixth hour classes, with monthly meetings held during class periods. Various activities of the clubs included candy sales, parties for each other, and dances. The main event of the year was the traditional Latin banquet. The members wore Roman costumes and ate Roman food with their fingers. The food was served by slaves selected from among the freshman Latin students. Officers for both first and second semesters were consules (presidents and vice-presidents), Mary Lou Teman, Joanne Christensen, Don Forstrom, Matt Sloan, and Nancy Clark; scribae (secretaries), Marianne Renolds, Norma Davis, and Alvina LeLande; quastores (treasurers), Paul Karshner, Bill Rajcich, and Charlotte Chamberlin; nuntius (reporter), Nancy Par-pala; practores (sergeant at arms), Jill Cawley, and Gerry Bardy. pan id! CU In the fall of 1948 the Spanish Club became affiliated with the Pan American Union and now has the official title of Student Pan American League of Weather wax High School. The following officers were elected: Mary Louise Fairbairn. president; Betty Cavers, vice president; Carol Arnold, secretary-treasurer and Gloria Acker, reporter. A new constitution conforming with the principles of the Pan American Union was drawn up by Edrie Lundgren, David Luark and Marvillc Burris. A Christmas party was held, with the members acting as hosts to all students in Spanish classes. Traditional Spanish games were played including the breaking of the “pinata” and Christmas Carols were sung in Spanish. The Quill and Scroll is an honorary journalism society and are inactive as far as a club is concerned. At present there are twenty-one members, including two seniors who are two year members, Phil Clark and Stella Ragus. The other members are Carolyn Campbell, Jody Greer, Russ Hulet, Ed LaBelle, Diane Lenehan, Pat Morrison. Marilyn Murray, Tom Parker, Delores Percini, Agnes Pierog, Betty Pctrina, Bill Rogers, Charles Rosengarten, Shirley Silva. Pat Rudis, Elaine Taylor, Elmer Wallin, Elaine Wiitamaki and Bob Zelasko. The organization intends to revive the Madge Finley Memorial Chapter next year. The Gold Tri-Y is one of the two new Tri-Y’s formed this year. Miss Elliott, who has been the advisor for the past year, has helped in every way to organize this Tri-Y and has assisted in all projects undertaken by the club. First semester officers, who this year took part in a training conference at the College of Puget Sound, were Joann Pederson, president; Elaine Taylor, Frances Misscll, Anne Malinowski, and Marie DuBay. Serving the club second semester were Pat Wilson, president; Donna Lundquist, Joann Pederson, Elaine Taylor, and Frances Missel. , Besides numerous other activities, the club has had a Mother’s tea and has worked on a project for the Oakhurst Sanitorium. BL D,.i- y Blue Tri-Y, one of the new organizations in the school, has gotten off to a wonderful start under the guidance of the twice elected president, Betty Cavers. Mrs. Vammen, their advisor, has done a grand job in aiding them. One of their projects during the Christmas season was decorating the Y. M. C. A. They also helped a needy family on the Harbor. The group has sold Y. M. C. A. Cook Books, held candy and bake sales, and sponsored dances. Next fall the club plans to initiate new members who will aid in school, church, and community activities. On-Jiif - y With the help of their new advisor, Mrs. M. J. McClary, Tri Hi-Y members carried out many projects this year which included the formation of two other chapters of Tri-Y and the making of signs which were displayed at home basketball games to greet the visiting teams. Delegates of the club attended the Tri-Y conference in Tacoma. Some additional activities were the giving of gifts and food to a needy family and the giving of a banquet for the swimming team. Tri-Y has been cooperating with the “Y” all year in projects like their annual festival. Officers for the whole year have been Delores Bostwick, president; Elaine Taylor and Elizabeth Narrance, vice presidents; Winnie Rattie, secretary; Elaine Wiitamaki and Karla Hansen, treasurer; Ruth Bergstrom and Rosemary Drake, chaplain; Betty Cooper and Tess Domin, reporter jk.yi Hi-Y I has completed another very successful year of serv.ce to the school and community. The e’,ub was headed this year by a new and ve -y capable advisor, Mr. Norman Newman, ome of the activities of the club included generous contributions to charities during the year and donations of food packages to the needy at Christmas time. Two formal initiations were held during the year and for the first time in the club’s history several sophomores were initiated. Officers serving for ’49. ’49 were Dave Pinckney, president: Arnold Jones, vice president; Paul O’Leary, secretary; Ken McMillan, treasurer; Don Fairbairn. chaplain: and Bud Tomczuk. sargeant-at-arms. Qjjm “jreu The Golden “A” Club was fortunate this year to have, as its advisor, an alumnus ol V eatherwax High School and a former member of the A” Club, Norm Newman. Meetings were presided over by president Mart Rinker. The task of vice-president was handled by Joe Wilson. Jim Duncan was treasurer and the job of sec-retars was held by Ken McMillan. The outstanding event of the year was the Bovs and Dads Night which took place at about the middle of the year. The idea of this affair is to acquaint the dads of the boys with the coaches. They hope to make this an annual affair. On May 22, the members of the “A” Club held their annual picnic at Offut Lake. Mi- 1J Hi-Y chapter II enjoyed one of its most successful and energetic years under the leadership of their advisor Mr. Londahl and President Don Hannula. With Joe Fisher and Ron Druet sharing the vice presidential office; Perry Rosen, secretary; Jim Duncan, treasurer; John Carlson, chaplain; and Bob Crume, sargeant-at-arms—Hi-Y II had a very well rounded executive staff. The club took part in many school and civic activities. Among the highlights of these activities were—the Christmas tree sale and the purchasing of some badly needed disposal cans. Hi-Y II also took part in helping to clean up tin-school grounds. During the football season they took care of the “Beat” (Hoquiam) sign above the main entrance and at the annual basketball and swimming award assembly Hi-Y II donated a swimming Inspirational Trophy—which by the way—w-as presented to Mark Matulich, one of its own members. V (ofuinaadt Tom Parker Co-Editor Bob Zelasko Co-Editor Mr. Peter Londahl Advisor At last the staff of the 1949 Quinault can breathe a long sigh of relief. The annual has finally been published. The editors for the past year have been Tom Parker and Bob Zelasko. Both have spent many houis wot king to put out an annual that will be treasured for many years to come. Phil Clark has been sports editor for the past year and Jody Greer was business manager. The job o! stall photographer was handled by Bill Rogers and assisting him has been Ted Kuprewicz. Pat Morrison was in charge of the ad staff. I he art staff was headed by Marilyn Murray. The sketches were drawn by Ed LaBelle and Dale Johnson. Ed and Marilyn designed this year’s cover and the color choice was that of the rest of the staff. Mr. Peter Londahl has been advisor to the staff. Editorial Staff Ad Staff Ocean Stella Ragus Editor Mr. Charles Croasdill Advisor Carolyn Campbell Ad Manager The good ship, “Ocean Breeze,” has sailed through another year of circulation which was highlighted by the publication of a souvenir Basketball Tournament-Swimming Meet issue. Working together to add a top-notch school paper to the glories of the class of ’49 were Mr. Croasdill, faculty advisor; Stella Ragus, editor-in-chief; Russ Hulet, sports editor; Diane Lenahan, editorials; and a large ad staff headed by Carolyn Campbell. Representatives of the class attended a journalism conference at th University of Washington. Delegates from eight western states were at this meeting and they gave our delegates many ideas for improving our paper. One of the class’s new projects this year was to correspond with the editors of exchange papers in order to get a critical analysis of our O. B. They found it very interesting to learn the opinions other schools had of our paper. The greatest problem this year was finances, but Pat Rudcs, business manager, and the rest of the class worked out many money-raising plans to keep from suspending publication. The staff has worked very cooperatively in putting out the paper and they have had lots of fun while doing it. O. B. Staff at Work From Left to right—Carolyn Campbell, Ruth Bergstrom, Alda Lee Simonson, Peggy Groseclose. Carolyn Campbell, Alda Lee Simonson, Peggy Groseclose, and Ruth Bergstrom served on the pep staff this year as song queens. During football season you would see them at the games in their royal blue gored skirts, yellow sweaters and, for originality, boxy jackets with hoods lined with yellow satin which matched the lining in their skirts. When basketball season came, the girls added yellow’ blouses and blue suspenders to their uniforms. These girls not only contributed their time and effort in perfecting their routines, but also worked diligently at decorating the auditroium for the annual Shuttle Broadcast. Come rain or shine, they appeared at all rallies, games, and assemblies. The four girls were the first Aberdeen song qeens ever to appear at a state basketball tournament. All of Weatherwax feels that these girls were very outstanding in doing a great job of promoting pep. Left to right—Bill Moore, duke; Joe Fisher, king, and Ramon Simbc, duke. With King Joe Fisher and Dukes Ramon Simbe and Bill Moore leading the way, the pep and spirit at this year’s games definitely went on the upswing. From the opening football game last fall to the final basketball game of the State Tournament these three balls of fire were providing spirit for some of the best athletic teams Weathcrwax has ever seen. This year, once again, the problem of booing at the games arose. Joe, Ray and Bill joined in art all-school campaign to bring this sort of conduct down to a minimum. They were not in vain, for Aberdeen’s sportsmanship decidedly improved as the year went along. This colorful trio was outfitted in blue slacks with a gold stripe on each leg and gold sweaters with blue trimmed emblems. To top this off they wore white shirts, blue bow ties and saddle shoes. At the State Basketball Tournament the Aberdeen yell staff, considered to be one of the best, cheered the Bobcat cagers on as they placed fourth among the sixteen best teams in the State. Among their other activities were leading the student body at the annual Shuttle Broadcast over KXRO just before the Thanksgiving game and also leading the rallies and pep assemblies. Joe and Ray will graduate this year but Bill was elected king for next year and will be back to spread more Bobcat pep throughout the league. 2), ance f I THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF ABERDEEN HIGH SCOHOOL PRESENT THEIR SECOND ANNUA! ALUMNI DANCE IS HONOR OF WEATHERWAX GRADS COME HEAR BOB HARVEY AND HIS • NATIONAU.Y FAMOUS HAND • DIRECT FROM OLYMPIC BOWL IN SEATTLE Thanksgiving Nite Nov. 25 Aberdeen Armory w, � ' E� rrM, ,miUd Students and alumni gathered at the Aberdeen Armory Thanksgiving night, for the second annual Alumni Dance. Started last year the affair offered an opportunity to former students to have a good get-together as well as a top flight dance. Bob Harvey and his famous band from Seattle provided the music. A variety of music was played including regular dancing numbers, novelty arrangements for which Harvey is noted and a special group of Weatherwax cheer songs. Close to a thousand people crowded the Armory which was gaily attired with decorations built around a Thanksgiving theme. A false ceiling of crepe paper and a colorful band stand were the outstanding features of the decorations. Committees for the dance included the following: General chairman, Tom Parker; decorations, Pat Lawrence and A1 Pierce; co-chairmen, Delores Bostwick, Nancy Mercier, Ann Hobi, Greta Anderson, Arlene Haglund, Bob Zelasko, Tom Stengel, Harold Bergstrom, Don Hannula, Jim Duncan, Alan McMillan, Glen Hulet, Eleanor Lea, Ruth Bergstrom, Alda Lee Simonson, Peggy Groseclose, and Carolyn Campbell. Publicity, Phil Clark, chairman, Bob Zelasko, Russ Hulet, Dick Scroggs, Pat Wilson, Lois Solheim and Harry Baumgardner. junior j- t rom The Junior Class headed by President Elmer Wallin, broke a long standing tradition this year by putting on a dance all by themselves. In years gone by the combined eforts of both classes resulted in the Junior-Senior prom but this year the Juniors felt they were quite capable of handling a dance alone. On March 25, students gathered in the girls’ gym to dance to the melodies of Hank Hoffman and his band. For a theme the Junior Prom carried out the idea of “Mardi Gras.” 1 he gym was colorfully decorated with carnival scenes, circus animals and clowns. The punch booth in the center of the floor was gaily attired with colored streamers and balloons. Novel lighting was also a feature of the decorations which were supervied by Pat Lawrence and Nancy Mercier. Other committee chairmen were Barbara Espedal, pages and programs; Alan McMillan, refreshments; Dick Scroggs, music, and Beverly West, art work. Cjracli ractuation tUl “Aloha Oe” (.Farewell) was the theme of the Graduation Ball which was held May 13, in the girls’ gym. It was the final dance of the year and the last school dance for the graduating seniors. The decorations followed an Hawaiian theme. Palm trees and tropical paintings on the walls made one feel he had stepped onto a south sea island. Hank Hoffman’s band furnished the music for the senior sponsored affair. Jim Duncan, senior class president, was general chairman. Assisting him were Delores Bostw'ick and Diane Forest, decorations co-chairmen; Tom Parker, music, and Phil Clark, programs and tickets.

Under the able direction of Curtis Chapel, the 1948-49 choir rose to new heights. Besides their scheduled appearances in th 1949 Concert Series, they appeared as guests of downtown luncheon clubs on various occasions, always presenting the best in choral music. Probably the most outstanding work of the choir was their presentation of Handel’s Messiah, which was very well attended and well received by the public. The Messiah is to become an annual affair. Swing Concert Music was the finest in many years. Among their best received selections were “Dry Bones”, “Kathyryn’s Wedding Day”, “Jesus on the Waterside”—a negro spiritual—and “My Bonnie”- a folk song in jump time. A tremendous hit was made by the choir at this year’s concert when they sang the two outstanding numbers, “He Is the King of Glory”—from Handel’s Messiah—and “Listen to the Lambs” —a negro spiritual. On May 11, the choir appeared in the Spring Concert. The two numbers that went over the biggest were “Alouette” and “She’ll Be Cornin’ Round the Mountain.

Highlighted by the Music Festival, held this year in Aberdeen, the Bobcat band once again went through a busy and glory laden season. The long string of “superiors” ended this year, but only because the rating system was abandoned. The boys were extremely well received at the festival when they performed the sparkling renditions of “The Huntress March” and the “Finale” from Tchaikovsky’s 4th Symphony. The Swing Concert was a huge success. Few will forget the popular “Stormy Weather” with Mike Hobi making a guest appearance on his trombone. Other numbers that will be long remembered were Tex Beneke’s arrangement of the “St. Louis Blues March”, “Lady of Spain” and selections from the show “Carousel.” The novelty “German” band also made a big hit. As usual the band was on hand at all home football and basketball games and at several out-of-town games to bolster the Bobcat spirit. They were on hand at the State Basketball Tournament and made a fine showing. Not only did the band serve the school, but they also served the community by playing for the Sunshine Kids Broadcast and marching for the Community Chest Drive. Our hats off to Director Donald McCaw and the Aberdeen band. STANDING—Donald McCaw, director.

The Aberdeen High School orchestra showed the trend of things to come at Weatherwax as conductor Don McCaw presented one of the biggest and best musical programs that Aberdeen has had in years. The orchestra filled a busy schedule since they played at several functions besides their regularly scheduled events. Among these events were: The Hi-Jinx-Minstrel Show, the Senior Play and the Miss Grays Harbor contest. At the Swing Concert they presented many top-notch selections including “The Ranger Song”, “Until”, and the old favorite “Strike Up the Band.” In the Spring Concert they played a varied program including the selections “Fiddle Faddle” and Duke Ellington’s “Sophisticated Lady.” The orchestra entered the Class A music meet which was held in Aberdeen. They played two selections, “The Great Gate of Kiev” and “Allegretto”, a piece which was played entirely by the string sections. The height of the music festival was the concert given by a selected group of students from the Aberdeen, Olympia, Longview and Vancouver orchestras. Several musicians from the Aberdeen section participated. Officers for this year were: president, Greta Anderson, secretary; Ruth Kocher and, student director, Marilyn Garner. STANDING, left to right—Roy Rivers, Bob Zelasko, Russ Hulet, Carolyn Estes, Delores Bardy, Phil Clark and Pat Acklin. SITTING, left to right—Pat Morrison, Tcss Dotnin, Jim Ball. Donna Feifer, Dorothy Clardy and Vic Hampson. Chosen for the Senior Play, presented on April 8, was “Young April,” a three-act comedy written by Aurania and William Spence Rouveral. “Young April” is a sequel to “Growing Pains,” which was presented by the same class when they were freshmen. Several members of the cast even took th same roles they had in the Freshman Play. Mr. Robert Mayne did an outstanding job of directing, assisted by Pat Acklin, student director. Other members of the production staff included Delores Bardy, technical director; Harry Baumgardner. business manager; Bob Cooper, stage manager; Carolyn Dick, publicity; Marvell Burris, properties; Donna Haines, programs; Rosemary Drake, costumes; Elaine Taylor, art; Delores Kistler, makeup; and Marilyn Jones, music. The play evolved around the complications of a typical American family, the McIntyres. Terry, the daughter of the family, who had so many boy friends that she had trouble choosing between them, was portrayed by Donna Feifer. Her brother, George, had just one girl friend, but his troubles over her were every bit as complicated and amusing as Terry’s. George was played by-Bob Zelasko. Mr. and Mrs. McIntyre, the very concerned parents, were depicted by Royd Rivers and Pat Morrison. Vic Hampson took the role of Brian, the athletic young man who finally won Terry’s heart. Phil Clark played the mother-dominated Stewart Miller. His domineering mother was portrayed by-Dorothy Clardy. Jim Ball took the role of Bert Parsons, an anemic suitor of Terry’s and Betty Cavers played George’s girl friend, Diane. THE CAST Professor McIntyre .................Royd Rivers Mrs. McIntyre .

Following a ministrel theme, the Hi-Jinx presented a panorama of Southern Life in three scenes. The show opened with a chorus and orchestra number, followed by Mary Rinker’s tuba solo.Joann Coady, as a night club queen, sang “Can’t Help Loving That Man.” Bringing the first act to an end, Donna Feifer, Dara Wilson, Annette McDuffee and Loretta Hendrickson did a sparkling dance to the tune of “Darktown Strutters Ball” backed up by the Dixieland Jazz Band. Between all of these numbers were gags and song by the Boys’ Chorus. During intermission Jim Ball and Jody Greer played a couple of duo piano numbers. They were very well received. The second half opened with a song by the Boys’ Chorus, followed by the “Show Boat Trio” made up of Eileen Tervo, Gloria Eggc, and Jeanette Hall. Carol Nielsen performed an acrobatic act assisted by Vic Hampson and Bill Moore. Then Mr. William “Shorty” Weir and his trumpet presented what was probably the most exciting exhibition of true jazz that has been seen here for a long time. Mr. Wier was followed by Loretta Hendrickson and Diane Forest singing “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” and Ginger DeKraay doing an interpretive tap dance. The highlight of the evening was a trumpet solo, “Blue Skies,” with Mike Hobi doing the honors, immediately followed by Virginia Churchill singing a solo on the same number, accompanied by Sarah Ann Entrop on her accordion. The brass sextet then played a flowing number. The show ended with the entire cast together in a thrilling song. Special credit should go to Mr. Mayne and Mr. Curran for their stage presentation and to Pat Acklin and her make-up crew. WindJ Mi-jin ERV PITTS NORM NEWMAN Head Coach Line Coach Unable to field an exceptional team as far as speed and weight were concerned, mentor Erv Pitts put forth a team that will be long remembered by the Harbor sports fans for its rough and tumble fighting spirit and its wide open type of play. In conference play the Bobcats rolled over two of the opponents, tied one, and lost three tough ones and in non-conference encounters they won two out of three. Although the Aberdeenites collected 101 points to 86 for the opposition they ended in fifth place in the conference. In their first full game of the season the ’Cats downed a scrappy Elma eleven 21 to 0. Runs by Wilson, Tomczuk and Ellingson accounted for the touchdowns while Jones, Ellingson and I omezuk converted to ice the game for the ’Cats. Although the Chehalis Bearcats were matched touchdown for touchdown by the Bobcats, the gun sounded with them ahead 21 to 19 after two of the Aberdeen conversions failed. Halfback Junior Ellingson hit paydirt three times while Bud Tomczuk pushed over the lone conversion. Going into their first conference game as very decided underdogs, a group of fighting Bobcat grid-ders scored a moral victory over the Trappers of Vancouver by virtue of a 6 to 6 tie. The Cats not only tied the Trappers in the scoring column but also outplayed them in every other department. Plowing his way from the three yard line, Junior Ellingson, ’Cat halfback, scored the first touchdown of the day, as the bewildered Centralia Tigers tried vainly to stop a fierce first quarter drive. But the conference champion Tigers were not to be denied as they powered for a touchdown and try-for-point to lead 7 to 6 at halftime. They came back strong in the third quarter to score again to earn a hard fought 13 to 6 victory. Too much size and power told its tale as the Highlanders of Kelso measured the fighting Bobcats 26 to 6. Late in the fourth quarter, end Arnold [ones gathered in a pass to give the Blue and Gold their lone tally. It was just a matter of how many points the victory hungry Weatherwax eleven would score before the final gun sounded as they gave the Longview Lumberjacks a solid 40 to 0 thrashing. Quarterback Jim Alexander played outstanding ball for the- winners as he- packed the oval three times over the goal line for scores. . The margin of victory was 21 to 0 for Pitts’ boys as they rode roughshod over the Irish of O Dea. Jone'S scored the first one and Ellingson and Tomczuk each addend one apie ce on tuns of 7o and 52 ards. In a wide open game the “Fighting Bobcats” again emerged victorious: this time at the expense of the Olympia Bears. The 20 to 12 victory broke the long string of ties that had plague d the Armistice Day clash for a number of years. Bob Campbell, Jones and Tomczuk shared scoring laurels with one touchdown apiece. The annual Thanksgiving classic proved to be the heartbreaker and most exciting game of the year. Entering the- game as underdogs by comparative scores the- ’Cats came out on top of most of the- statistics and certainly scored a moral victory, although the scoreboard read Hoquiam 28, Aberdeen 23, at the- game’s end. The teams exchange d touchdowns at the- beginning of the first quarter. Then Hoquiam threw everything the y had against the ’Cats to score once, twice and three times. The half ended with the Grizzlies ahead 28 to 7. The few fans who left at halftime because it looked like a Hoquiam wralk-away must not have taken a good look at the Bobcat Mascot that stood in lront of the Aberdeen section. That Bobcat was ready to tear into anything that so much as looked cross-eyed at it and its namesake team did just that in the second half. A Hoquiam miscue gave the ’Cats two points and the scrappy, inspired eleven pushed over two more touchdowns to run the score up to 23 to 28. A late Aberdeen drive nearly netted the winning score but an untimely fumble on the Grizzly 20 nullified any chance for victory. T he gun sounded with the T ighting Bobcats still behind 28 to 23.

The ’Cats ended the season with a record of eighteen wins against five losses. Aberdeen opened the season by splitting a souuthern road trip, defeating Kelso and losing to Longview. Then after losing to the powerful Valley Vikings the Bobcats defeated Kelso and Longview on the Miller court to end their pre-conference schedule. In the regular conference season the Blue and Gold cagers defeated everyone in the league twice except the champion Olympia Bears. One of the Aberdeen - Olympia games was a 45 - 44 overtime thriller with the capital city quintet taking the decision. In defeating Hoquiam in the first of the two inter-city clashes the Bobcat ended a five year home game victory string for Hoquiam. The end of the regular season found the ’Cats in second place in the northern division standings. This meant a one game playoff with the second place winner of the southern division for the third southwest representative in the state tournament. Aberdeen met Vancouver on the Centralia court and the Bobcats emerged the victor with a 44-40 verdict over the fast breaking Trappers. In the opening day of one of the most colorful and exciting tournaments in its twenty-five year history, the Bobcats met Bremerton and eked out a narrow 33-32 win over the Wildcats in the closing seconds of the game. In the winners’ round of the second day the ’Cats bumped up against the defensive-minded Bulldogs from Garfield and the Seattle city champs walked off with a 40-27 victory. The Bobcats faced the towering Bellarmine Lions on the third day and outhustled the Tacoma quintet for a 40-33 decision. On the final day Aberdeen played Renton with the winner getting fourth place in the final standings and the loser taking seventh. The ’Cats outshot their opponents for a decisive 43-37 victory and brought to Aberdeen their highest State Tournament ranking since 1935. Throughout the season Coach Smith employed a tight zone defense plus a fairly high scoring offense built around Tony Vlastelica, Aberdeen’s outstanding center. The Bobcat hookshot artist set a new Conference scoring record of 279 points in fourteen league games. He was honored at the State Tournament by being named to the second team of the All-State team. Next season the ’Cats will have three returning lettermen—Dave Randich, Ken Palmer and Walt Brudvik, but will miss the inspired playing of such seniors as Vlastelica. Don Randich, 111 Perkins, Arnold Jones, Ron Druet, Ken Hale and Bud Tomczuk. Indeed the 1948-49 Aberdeen cage squad set an example of team play, fighting spirit and the will to win for the Bobcat teams of the future to follow.

Tom White, and Rich Hcpncr, manager. Joining right in with all the other sports around YVeatherwax High School, the baseball team has enjoyed a successful season. Coached by Walt “Pop” Miller, the diamond nine has a record of five wins and one loss. The loss coming in the last scheduled game of the season against the Hoquiam Grizzlies. In failing to win that game the Bobcats were forced to play a “rubber” game with the Grizzlies to see who would represent this league when they played Shelton or Olympia for the right to go to the State Tournament in Yakima. Aberdeen won that game 9 to 6. In their fight for the title the Bobcats were led by big Tom Raby, star hurler for the ’Cats. Raby has a record of two wins and no losses. One of the wins being a no-hit-no-run game againt Hoquiam. Another ’Cat fireballer on the mound staff was Wayne Johnson. Johnson had a record of three wins and one loss. Aberdeen boasted the strongest outfield in the conference. It consisted of two hard hitting senior sluggers, Marv Rinker and Bud Tomczuk and Milt Lawson, steady, dependable right fielder who will be back next year. The infield was composed of Tom “Sliver” White, third baseman, who came up with some magnificent stops, Walt Brudvik and Ken Palmer, junior double play combination, and Joe Wilson, hard hitting first baseman. One of the big factors in the Bobcats’ race for the pennant was Arne DeHart, head backstopper for the ’Cats. Another catcher in the Bobcat fold was Junior Ellingson. Ellingson was behind the plate in the next to last game against Hoquiam. while DeHart was resting with a split finger. The whole team showed hitting power this year, but they were led by Joe Wilson and Marv Rinker. Both hit well up in the 500’s. Wilson bla.ted two home runs this year, one over the fence in Montesano and one against Elma in his home park. Aberdeen had one of the strongest teams they have had in years and next year with all their returning lettermen they are expected to be in the thick of the pennant race again. PLAY BALL!!

The 1949 Weatherwax “cinder maniacs” started the season off right with a resounding 90 to 23 victory over an undermanned but game Auburn squad. I he fighting Bobcats added two more victories in as many weeks, 99 to 14 over South Bend and 69 2 5 to 43 3 5 over Bremerton. Coach A1 Bivens and his charges traveled to Olympia where they met their first setback, a 6IJ 2 to 515 2 defeat, then traveled to Tacoma to be downed by Lincoln 61 to 52. The following week the Cats gave the powerful Hoquiam tracksters a battle under the lights at Stewart Field only to lose by 12 1 5 points, 62 3 5 to 50 2 5. Again at the county meet the Bobcats vainly stove off the Hoquiam onslaught but again placed second to the Grizzlies. Nine thinclads earned the right to represent Aberdeen at the district meet in Longview. Two of these placed, Jim Alexander won a tie for first in the pole vault, setting a new A. H. S. record of 11 ft. 113 4 inches, but lost his chance to go to state in the jump-off. Irv Shotwell annexed a fourth in the 440 for the only other ’Cat place. Outstanding performances of the year were Alexander’s record breaking vault, Dave Pinckney s 10.2 century, Dave Lundgren’s 47' 73 4 shot effort, John Carlson’s 20' 8% broad jump, Irv Shot-well’s 53.4 440 mark and Chuck Graham’s high jump of 5' 10 in practice. The Blue and Gold relay tied the school record for that event in the county meet but the time was not recognized because they placed second to Hoquiam. Out of a squad of 33, there were only six seniors; if this is any indication of things to come, there’s a bright future for Mentor’s 1950 squad. Individual scoring included the following: John Carlson, 67J a; Dave Lundgren, 56; Jim Alexander, 383 j; Dave Pinckney, 38 4: Bob Smith. 34: Irv Shotwell. 29 2: Bob Rosi. 27; Harvey Christiansin, 23 3; Elmer Wallin, 21; Duane Carlson, 15 a; Gene Wilson, 15; Irl Perkins. 15; Gordon Brown, 12: Rusty Thygeson, 10; Dave Randich. 10: Fred Holland. 7: Jim Proctor. 6: Charles Graham, 53 4; Jim Robeck. 33 4; Lyle Van Blaricum, 3; Dick Brown, 2; Buddy Pattison, 13 4 and Bob McAllister, 1.

S tate Cl icun j) s Four years of hard work payed off for the Bobcat mermen this year as they swept to their most successful season in their history. Eighteen straight wins and no losses was the impressive record hung up by the ’Cats as they fought for their second consecutive state championship. The ’Cat splashers found no reasonable competition too tough for them as they looked to the frosh teams of the major northwest colleges for competition. Twice they downed the powerful L. of W. frosh in a home and home series, they defeated OSC frosh twice in as many days. Early spring found the ’Cat tankmen invading the Palouse country to down WSC and the U. of Idaho in frosh competition. Under Coach John “Bus” Fairbairn the ’Cats found the way to the conference championship easv sailing. Stadium of Tacoma fell before the mighty ’Cats’ onslaught in a pre-season meet to start off the long victory streak. The Aberdeen splashers this year were paced by their two championship relay teams, state champ Ralph Hunter. Perry Rosen, captain; Don Hannuia. Mark Matulich. Paddy Burris and Wright Benson. Both the 200 vd. relay consisting of Duncan, Benson, Rosen, and Fairbairn and the Medley Relay of Hannuia, Hunter, and Matulich both successfully defended their championships and bested both existing state records in those events. 1 he Medley Relay was made up of three state champs. In the state meet the ’Cats ran up a total of 55 points to lead the nearest competition by 25 points. John Torney. coach of the U. of W. said during the meet that the Bobcat team was probably the best to enter into the state meet and that they could hold heir own in almost any league in the country. Although the ’Cats lose eight lettermen at graduation, returning lettermen like Buddy Burris. Wright Benson. Vic Korpi. and Warren Spangler should form the nucleus of a very strong team in 1950. Senior lettermen whose loss will be deeply felt are Ralph Hunter. Perry Rosen. Punk Fairbairn. Jim Duncan. Don Hannuia. Marve Rinker. Art Loomis, and Mark Matulich. In a post season meet the several Aberdeen swimmers representing the Aberdeen YMCA swept the senior division of the Northwest V Meet. They also played a major part in the Golden Fins-Lions club water show late in the spring. TOP, left to right—Bernard Barber, Mr. Mapes and Chuck Vammen, Ray Tracy. BOTTOM, left to right—Ken Wambolt, Don Thomas, Rich Chamberlain. The golf team, coached by Mr. William Mapes, completed another successful season, placing fourth at the Southwest Washington Conference Play-off at Longview with a team of 490. Longview came in first, followed by Olympia and Centralia. Hoquiam placed fifth. Chuck Vammen was low for Aberdeen with an 84. The team members met after school every Monday at the Country Club to compete for a position on the five-man squad to play in the next match which was held either on a Monday or a Saturday. The last match was with Hoquiam. Earlier in the season the two teams tied, l i to 7 2, at Highlands. After conference play was completed, the members of the team competed with one another to decide whose name was to be engraved on the plaque donated by the Aberdeen Kiwanis Club. Rich Chamberlain was medalist for most of the meets. Rich, along with Don Thomas and Chuck Vammen, made his letter last year also. Bernard Barber is the only three-year letterman. The other two boys that completed the squad were Ray Tracy and Kenneth Wambolt. Vammen, a junior, and Wambolt, a sophomore, will be back to compete for Aberdeen again next year.

However their five wins against one defeat and one tie will stand up against almost any outfit in the Northwest. Under Coach Charles Wheeler, serving his first year here, these Bobcat racketeers swept dual wins from Elma and Shelton, tied Port Angeles, and split with the strong Longview club. A home and home series with Olympia and a return match with Port Angeles had not been played at this writing. A highlight of the season for the team was a match with former Wetherwax net stars Dick Street, Wayne Hagen and Bud Donovan. All the matches were fairly close, with the Alums getting the nod five-one. Paced by graduating veterans Punk Fairbairn, Ron Druet, Norm Olson and George Ballasiotcs, the ’Cats were feared throughout the loop as a well balanced team. Coming back next year will be juniors Bernard Espedal and Dick Solberg, No. 1 and No. 3 singles, respectively. No. 2 singles man Rich Rasanen, along with Paul Kashner, Marty Graves and Larry Easter will form the nucleus of what should be a strong crew next year. On the doubles teams were Fairbairn, Druet, Karshner and Graves who alternated with each other producing powerful combinations. FRONT ROW, left to right—Coach Ralp Devcr, Warren Spangler, John Moody, Bill Peterson, and Carolyn Schmidt. BACK ROW, left to right—Ron Novak, Glen Lee, Ray Brunstrom, F.d Grccno, Larry Easter, Ralph Bache, and Farrell Taylor. The Rifle Club has been quite active this year, participating in twelve N. R. A. postal matches which were shot in the girls’ gym. They also fired in the William Randolph Hearst trophy match. And in the Tacoma Sectional Tournament they finished in filth place. Later the team defeated South Rend in a shoulder to shoulder match. Ten men ired for N. R. A. qualification, hut only the five highest scores were counted. In matches four men comprise the team. Besides shooting in matches and for N. R. A. qualification the club also fired the D. C. M. course. This course is sent out by the Director of Civilian Marksmanship along with free ammunition. Post sights were used and the course is fired in all four positions: prone, sitting, kneeling and standing instead of the usual two positions of prone and standing. The Poggie Club donated five new backstops to the club at the beginning of the year and the School Board bought a new Winchester 52. The only person to attain the rating of Distinguished was a sophomore, Ed Greeno, who did some exceptional shooting in less than a year in order to attain the rating. Four persons were expert shooters—Larry Easter. Pat Fullerton, David Luark and Ronald Novak. They, along with Farrel Taylor who has already made expert or better, hav been allowed to shoot with a 22 pistol. 1 his is something new to the Rifle Club and they don’t know whether they will ever have a pistol team since there would be little or no competition. Oficers of the Rifle Club were Farrel Taylor, president; Ronald Novak, vice president; Pat Fullerton, secretary; and John Moody, treasurer.

Their two wins and three losses were not indicative of the fire and spirit shown by the Bobcat juniors Losing most of their games by narrow margins the ’Cats always seemed to bog down just short of pay dirt. In their first game with Hoquiam the seconds were on the offensive most of the way until Hoquiam took to the air. The Bees started off the season with a break into the win column as they downed Wishkah 7-0. Gordon Brown scored the only touchdown of the day and little Johnny Carlson made the conversion. Traveling to Hoquiam the Aberdeen team took the first of its two defeats from the Bear Jvs. 13-6. The ’Cats next defeats were at the hands of Moclips 20-0 and Hoquiam 13-0. I o end the season the Bees racked up a decisive win against Ocosta 9-0. Brown rambled to the only touchdown of the day and then kicked the conversion. In the fourth quarter swift line charging accounted for two more points to end the scoring. Miller had much praise for the fire and spirit that his team showed during the season. I he team consisted of: Paul Teagle, Vern Olson, Rusty Thygeson, Paul Karshner, Tom Sandwick, Norman Wall, Dick Scroggs, Joe Walzak, Jerry Smith, Walt Brudvik, Buddy Pattison, Dick Easter, Rich Covall, Bob Rosi, Glen Best, John Erak, Joe Noel, Louis Snyder, Alan MacMillan, Darrel Kretz, Dick Brown and Leonard Salmi. dd cjucul d asbetbaif FRONT ROW, left to right—Bob Munro, Paul Karshner, Jerry Smith, Bob Fisher and John Carlson. BACK ROW, left to right—Coach George Palo, George Vlastclica, Rich Rasancn, Jim Robcck, and Milton Lawson. Two years of coaching “B” squad basketball have given Mentor George Palo two pennants to fly over the Bobcat campus. One is for last year’s runner-up team and the second is for this year’s championship outfit. Sporting a win-loss record of twelve - two, the “B” ’Cats wound up the season a ful game ahead of the runner-up Hoquiam aggregation. Throughout the campaign the ’Cats displayed exceptional ability and, most important of all, showed the fighting, scrapping, ball-hawking type of play that brought the fans to their feet time and time again in their thrill-packed games. To Coach Palo should go much of the credit for this year’s “A” squad victories. It was he who instilled that never-say-die spirit into “B” squad games lat year. I his is the same spirit that came through in the pinches at the State Tournament this year, as time after time the fighting Bobcats came from behind to win those thrill-packed games. Palmer, Jones, Brudvik, Dave Randich, Hale, Druet, Tomczuk, these are last year’s Palo Boys who went to “state.” If this year’s “B” squad showing is any indication of things to come the “Palo boys” of this season will be the “Smith boys” who go to the state tourney in 1950.
