NOTES AND QUOTES ON 1960-61 Our high school life is not separate from life outside of school. We are a part of a community, a nation, and the world, both as individuals and as a group. The Quinault always has as its main purpose to record life at Weatherwax; this year we should, perhaps, take note of the out-of-school happenings that have affected our lives during the year. What was the world situation of 1960-61 as we hustled in and out of Weatherwax classrooms? What were the community and national issues of the year, the worrisome problems with which we and our parents were faced? What future did 1961 teenagers want, expect and plan for?

DEDICATION This year, 1960-61, has been our year, and surely one we will all remember. It has been a year of surprising school spirit with enthusiasm never seen before in the history of Weatherwax. This school spirit was evident every day at Weatherwax, and it has been a contributing factor to the success of the year. This was also the year preceding the retirement of two of our beloved teachers, Mr. Fenenga and Mr. Quien. Mr. Fenenga started his teaching career in Silverton, Oregon, later moving to Montesano, where he taught and coached for eight years. He came to Aberdeen in 1929. Serving as basketball and track coach for eighteen years, Mr. Fenenga was the first basketball coach to send an Aberdeen team to a state tournament in Seattle. His teaching subjects have been sociology, economics, American History, and World History. Mr. Quien worked in the automotive trades for twenty years before he began teaching in our school. He started teaching in 1940 with a schedule of six periods of Auto Mechanics, and also supervised bus transportation until 1945. He has never missed a day in twenty-one years. We join together with the student body and faculty, in complimenting these two gentlemen for jobs well done.
