From the Warner Brother's produc- tion, They Died With Their Boots On. New lands, new homes, new freedom: these the pioneers sought. The frontier of- fered excitement and danger to the adventurer, offered a new opportunity to the debt- ors from the Old World. People came on horseback, walking, on wagons, on rafts and ox carts. Single families braved the dangers of travel, climbed the mountains, trudged over trails, forded streams-to make a home in the wilderness. As the swarm of land- seekers pressed farther and farther West, the Indians fought, were defeated. Towns grew and villages sprang up overnight. Land speculators followed the pi- oneers. The frontier line changed to a region of extensive farms, well-built houses, factories, good schools-civilization. Where Lewis and Clark had stood long years before, cities were built-today's metropolitan areas. The pioneers of yesterday reached their goal. We, the pioneers of today, are striv- ing to reach ours. It is because we can learn so much from those great people, from their courage and foresight, that we dedicate the I942 Kimtah to the pioneers of the Old West. KEEP IT FLYING blue sky and billowy clouds the red white and blue our flag ripples and challenges the wind. The houses, the trees, the buildings, everything, gradual- ly fades into the distance. People move closer in, salute, and are warmed by the sig- nificance of the story interwoven with the stars and stripes, a story that becomes more cherished with the passing of each year. MERICA stands at attention. Americans salute the Hag. Silhouetted against ui I r 1 1 l lt began with the fight for supremacy. . . From the tangled struggles of the Ger- mans, the English, the French, the Spanish-all of them-came the American flag, designed as a symbol of freedom and liberty. The Declaration of Independence was signed. Washingtonis troops Wintered at Valley Forge. The Constitution was drawn up, our democracy established . . . The flag moved westward over the Alleghenies as the trail blazer went first, followed by the backwoodsman and his family. Courageous men like Lewis and Clark brought the Hag into the West . . . Immigrants came, came because they were hungry, hungry for more bread and for better bread. America of- fered that. Europe was old, America was young . . . The massacre of the garrison at the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas by the Mexicans made Americans more deter- mined to Remember the Alamo and win the war with Mexico . . . Gold in Califor- nia! The throng of settlers in search of gold assured the safety of Americais claim to this territory . . . General I..ee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox proved that our flag was to reign over a united nation. Slavery was abolished by Lincoln! Our flag was for all Americans, white and black. The Sioux war, the last one with the In- dians, made these redmen brothers, not enemies, under our Hag. Remember the Maine, our battle cry against Spain. Our Hag crossed waters into Cuba and the Phil- ippines . . . National security, threatened by World War I, was made secure again. Our flag continued to wave. Through past years, good and bad, peace and war, prosperity and depression, Amer- icans met danger and conquered it. But the tale interwoven with our banner cannot stop here. It must go on. America is still young. just as the second generation carried on where the first had left off, and the third where the second ceased to function, our generation will carry on the tradition. To all of us young Americans, destiny has hurled a supreme challenge. The years which lie ahead will bring us the summons. Sacrifices are being made and will continue to be made. The boys on Bataan peninsula are giving their lives that we in America may continue to live in a democracy. With leaders like General IVIacArthur and General Wainwright, who, with their men, risked their lives that the American flag still flies over Corregidor, we shall win the struggle. Men in defense plants, women in the homes, boys in the armed forces-all make sacrifices, forgetting themselves in the furthering of one great cause: democracy, the American way of life. The supreme effort of every American, young and old, small and great, will win the war and the peace to follow. We will Keep our Hag Hyingf' UR school rises stately, silent, unchanging against the sky. Day in and day out it stands-an institution of higher learning. Through its portals have passed thousands of students. Each autumn the clock above the entrance looks down on a throng of newcomers. Each spring a senior class graduates, leaving behind ac- complishments which will mark the class as being outstanding. What a multitude of memories are hidden between these four walls. Fun! Hard work! Laughter! Effort! Last fall the warm rays of the sun were reflected from the walls of the brick build- ing. School began. Long silent halls once more echoed with friendly talk and laugh- ter. Activities started to roll. Studies were pursued in earnest. Trees lost their leaves and the rains came. War was declared! Through the doors, boys passed to join the armed forces, just as boys did twenty-five years ago. It was with a somewhat sober spirit that the halls were beclecked with fir and holly for the Christmas season. Vaca- ion! Halls were quiet again. Then the holidays were over. ii 2 I Q.. . . 6, , ,.,. i. , . vs., ,M NOW fell silently and mantled the school with a white cloak. At dismissal time, boys and girls rushed out into the wonderland. The snow soon melted. It rained ' again. School became a center of concentrated study as examination schedules were set. A few seniors graduate in mid-term. Springtime brought new activities. There were happy lunch hours spent in the park. Then came Senior Day and com- mencement. Books were closed. Students shouted joyously as school was out for another year. Halls became quiet again. Silence! Our school awaits until fall for the beginning of another school year. Our school-home of the friendly indians beck- ons youth onward. Because of the years spent here, we have a place for our school among fondest memories. Our school years have come to mean more than a boring pursuit of studies. Writing for the school paper, planning service drives, or helping a friend with his troubles are the things which make our school days the very happiest time in our whole life. AVAGE tribes of Indians, starvation, cold--dangers lurked beyond every turn in the road, behind each tree. As the wagon trains rolled westward, these dangers had to be met. Scouts, well acquainted with the territory, guided the immigrants over un- familiar terrain and educated the pioneers to the ways of the wilderness. Difhcult and try- ing situations arose. Frequently the entire suc- cess of the journey rested solely upon the scouts. Had they been inexpert or wrong in their judgments, the entire wagon train would have met disaster. We, too, have our guides. Our faculty is well trained to meet the dangers of the present. With a map of the course to be followed, with the rules, the standards, and the methods, but more especially with their sympathetic under- standing of us, teachers stand ready to guide us over difficulties that arise. Their guidance has helped bring success not only to the school, but to the individual as Well. ADMINISTRATION The Pioneer Woman, statue at Ponca City, Okla- homa, unveiled in I930, in memory of the courageous women who played so great a part in the development of the West. MR. FULTON? MESSAGE Trails! Beyond the last sun-baked vestige of frontier, across the bare prairie shunned for weary miles by tree and bush alike, farther even than those dim blue mountains, marking vague distance, there ran the trails of the Old West. Danger lurking every mile: the conquering thirst of the desert sands, the pitiless thunder of stampeding buffalo, the fiendish whoop of paint-streaked Indians, the crack of the outlaw's pistol. Gut of those trails, out of those dangers, came an unique courage and an ac- complishment unequaled by past years. The desert has grown lush with alfalfa, the rivers have been harnessed for their power, the mountains have been pillaged of their precious metals. Great grandfather would have said: Pshaw, it can't be done! But the Old West did it! And the New West will do still more. The Youth of 1942 are of the New West and if courage and vision have not been drained from your veins by the ease of l942, you will read the message of the Old West: All things are possible, and you will bend your lives accordingly. -REED FULTON.

The boy didn't reprimand the old miner for his poor English. ln spite of the difference in their ages, they were alike in one respect. Schools were few, so nat- urally the young pioneers grew up imitating their elders. ln those days, correct usage of English mattered little. But today, as competition has grown much keener, the correct usage of both written and oral English has become very important. This generation has an advantage, for education includes the mechanics of grammar, spelling, compo- sition, and the principles of speech and letter-Writing. One who wishes to specialize in some field of English may do so by taking Creative Writing, Dramatics, Public Speaking, Newswriting, Radio Broadcasting, or Script Writing. ln Writing Lab class, students write composi- tions in any manner that they choose-prose, poetry, script-and read them before the class for construc- tive criticism. Out of this class have come many young people who through their previous foundation have developed into aspiring writers. Training in dramatics can be obtained through the Junior and Senior dramatics classes. Plays are re- hearsed and commencement plans made. The practical knowledge of how to speak freely and easily in front of a group is emphasized in public speaking classes. This knowledge is invaluable in later life. . Through learning to write in newspaper style and later applying this form in the publication of the Chi- nook, boys and girls are trained not only in the writ- ing, but are in a position to get more out of reading the newspaper. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Miss McKenzie, Miss Akin, Mrs. Cham- berlen, Mr, Hannaford, Miss Hurd, Miss Kirkpatrick, Mrs. Lansing, Mr. Mackey, Miss Phillips, Miss Young, Miss Blalock. COMMERCIAL Massive buildings and factories with machines doing the work of thousands of people, men and women intent on service and profit-these became a part of the New West. Great cities and trans- portation centers arose where once there were giant trees and rocky cliffs and spreading valleys. ln the days of the pioneers the people were as in- dependent as we are dependent, taking it upon themselves to supply their own needs. Commu- nities of the Old West might have consisted of a small fort with a blacksmith shop, a few cabins, and a supply and provision house run by traders. They took care of the simple needs of the wagon trains that came their way. Trading posts and village stores became the business centers of the western world. As the population grew, as the slow migra- tion westward was taken over by the railroads and other more rapid means of travel-there came a need for bookkeepers, salesmen, stenographers, typists and businesss executives. Training for the business world is an important part of the present high school curriculum. There are classes in bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, sales- manship, consumer education, commercial law, English, geography and commercial arithmetic. Whether the high school student goes directly into the business world, whether he continues his training in college or university, or whether he goes into other work requiring business training to a certain degree, what he has learned in commercial subjects in high school can be used to advantage in a World where the demand for efficiency both in business and private life is great.

Z f MISS WHITE SCIENCE In days gone hy, when Iittle Sarah was ill from eating too many green apples, or Johnny got the fever, or even when Dad sprained his back pulling stumps, Mother was right on hand to administer a home-remedy all the way from sulphur and molasses to a mustard plaster. It was a simple beginning like this that led to the scientific age of toclay. Health in our age is equally important. The modern boy and girl develop their body in physical edu- cation classes and also learn the practical use of keeping fit in Health Education. From the study of chemistry, physics, zoology, botany, and photography, a student obtains an appreciation of life.

Some pioneer boys and girls were familiar with fractions, decimals, algebra, and geometry, too, but as far as they were concerned there was little of practical value in high mathematics for them. A high school boy of today may become comparatively skilled in auto repair, wood working, boat drawing, lettering, gas and electric engine, blue print reading, or mechanical drawing. The pioneer boy was taught that agriculture must be his primary interest. I-Iowever, there were a few far-sighted youths who gained knowledge of skilled handicraft by watching the blacksmith, the coppersmith, and various other workers within his vicinity.

WHALEY CCCIAL CCIEINICE To pioneer boys and girls history was a distasteful study of the dates of important events. Little was gained from such a course except a jumbled mass of dates. In VLIAV Q But no longer is history such a sub- ject. Discussions of political and eco- nomic situations, panel discussions, and current event topics point out the sides to controversial issues as well as add to the general knowledge of the individual. Practical application is made of knowledge obtained from textbooks. Supplementing actual classroom work, various trips are made to places of interest such as to superior court, the immi- gration station, and the state legislature. Today in history classes the student actively takes part in the history discussions for he realizes just how important this knowledge will be to him as the citizen of tomorrow. information about the con- stitution, and the way national, state, and local governments function will develop wiser voters and higher qualihed leaders out of the high school students of today.

A gap of several thousand miles, em- phasized by the lack of modern trans- portation and communication, separat- ed the pioneers from the culture of the East. Yet, there were ioneers who P demonstrated their appreciation of the arts. Choruses and glee clubs received whole-hearted support, as did the local talent shows and the singing prima donna who traveled from town to town. Although art was apt to be overlooked in the wilds of the West, masterpieces of art owned by some wealthy person were often displayed. Only through the teaching of their parents were pioneer MISS DONOLDSON A MHS. STEVENS Miss HAGUE children able to understand French, if A G G ii A German, or any other foreign language. Fine arts in our modern school system receives more attention. For those who are mu- sically inclined, voice training, glee club, choir, and orchestra are offered. Art courses in- cluding poster design, lettering, sketching, and painting are available to the young artist. GGTJNGELGRG Well trained in the field of academic and personal achievement are the counselors who devote their time to helping students with their problems. Each class has its own coun- selor who remains with the class until graduation. ln this way, through the close contact over a period of years, the best help can be given. Each counselor spends one or more periods in the office, at which time students may feel free to come for advice. Help with the choice of subjects, the participation in activities, the choice of a college, and with scholarships, is given. Miss Babcock has been counselor for the class of l942, Miss Dunn for the class of 1943, Miss Clark for the class of 1944, and Mr. Dotson for the class of l945 during the school year. HOME EOOINIOMIOO There are many who are taking acl- ' ' O ' vantage of the instruction given in household management, budgeting and home economics. Even as it is important for a high school girl to know how to cook and sew, so it was with the pioneer girl, but under entirely different circumstances. A hickory forestick resting on a stone with a Johnny-cake on an ash board set before the fire-this represented a typi- cal scene in the pioneer home. The food prepared was very simple in those days.

Look back, almost a hundred years, into a school of l849. ln the crude one-room dwelling, we see students of all ages, clustered together on home-made seats and benches. One group is reciting a lesson in mathematics, while the others study from books with pages soiled and torn from long use. That study-hall of IS49 was a far cry from the study-hall of 1942! Good lighting and comfortable desks make the job of study today much easier. MISS ALLEN MISS BACHMANN 3 MR. GOSS NIR.

Today our cities have large public libraries where anyone may borrow a book. Special first editions of the old books are cherished in these institutions. Right here in high school we have a library well supplied with all kinds of books. Here a student may check out fiction books for his own pleasure reading or non-fiction books for class room studies. Here, too, he may get technological information from one of the many reference books. Also located in the library are the latest magazines, as well as old copies, and a clipping file which is kept up to date by the librarian. TEACHERS ON LEAVE Several faculty members are on leave or exchange this year. Mr. Liston is an exchange teacher in Brookline High School, Brookline, Massachusetts, while Mr. Cross is taking advantage of his art schol- arship to Yale. Mr. Slocomb is serving as an exchange teacher in Providence, Rhode lsland. During the Christmas holiday, Mr. Kimball left West Seattle to serve with the United States Navy. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council of West Seattle includes representatives from every roll room. The President, Vice-President, and Secretary, are elected from these representatives by a majority vote. The purpose of this council is to bring before the students problems which affect the students or school. These problems are discussed at a regular meeting of the council, held every four weeks. STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENTS Gretchen Schneeberger, first semesterg The co-ordinatlng committee consists of sixteen members-eight BJHYHC Qvale, second semester. The Student Council works in unison with a co-ordinating committee. teachers and eight students, the teachers being appointed by the principal and the student branch nominated by a committee chosen by the Student Council. The co- ordinating committee is the fact finding body in the matters of: Stamp Plan, Assemblies, Productions, Scholarships, Athletics, Community Relationships, and Room Organizations. All the members serve for a term of one year, elections being held in the fall quarter. , 1 9 GIRLS' CLUB ln the Old West a family built and settled in a log cabin on a ridge overlooking a broad ex- panse of low land. Twice a day tides covered the flats. Indians passed, their faces hideous with paint, and war cries echoed through the woods. The wind caused the tall firs to sway so that the father and mother feared that one would fall across their home and the occasional sound of a distant tree crashing did not reassure them. Water had to be carried from the river when the tide was low for when the salt water backed M155 CHILBERG up into the stream, it was unfit for use. While Girls' Adviso' mother and children spent anxious days wait- ing for the father to go to the nearest settle- ment and return with provisions, the howling of coyotes at night accented their loneliness. Little by little, the impenetrable forests were cleared, dikes were built, the flats were ploughed, seed was planted, and the vision of the early settler was realized. Today you and l enjoy the garden land produced by the courage, determination, energy and endurance of these pioneers. Can we meet their challenge? IVIABEL CHILBERG, Girls' Advisor.

It is here that the club for all girls functions. It was here that refreshments and decorations were decided upon for the banquet, mother's teas, and the parties for new girls. Thanks- giving baskets were filled. A successful toy drive staged. Plans made for school drives for tinfoil, clean halls, and yarn. Clerical work was attended to. Transfers from other schools made welcome by the Tillicum committee. Sweaters and afgans knitted for the Red Cross. Scrapbooks completed for the Veteran's hospital. Council conferences were planned, and hobbies developed. Elections held. Instal- lation was arranged. Behind these activities there was a well organized cabinet, consisting of five oflicers and five de- partment heads. This year's officers were: Carolyn Caillac, president, Ada Woodhouse, vice-presi- dent, Bette Maples, recording secretary, Marian Alford, corresponding secretary, Katie Harrison, who transferred and was replaced by Juanita Beck, treasurer. Social service work was under Shirley Zoffel, department head, first semester, and Josephine O'Connor, second semester. Nita Beck and Elizabeth Sward took care of foreign correspondence, flower arangement and novelty clubs were under the Hobby Riders department, which is a new addition to the Girls' Club organizations. Charm Club, Health and Standards committee work was supervised during the fall semester by Helen White, and in the spring semester, by Doris Stobie, heads of the Personal Efficiency Department. Providing entertainment for all OFFICERS Under the able leadership of the Girls' Club officers, activities under this organiza- tion functioned smoothly. At the election held in the previous spring, girls in the school made their choice of leaders. It has been the duty of these girls during the past year to function as members of the cabinet, to take care of administration affairs, and to assist department heads in the club work.

ENTERTAINMENT DEPARTMENT' To add gaiety to the serious trend of the Girls' Club activities, this department gave parties and banquets. Two parties were given welcoming newcomers, the first in September, the other in February. Honoring their moth- ers, one tea was given for Junior and Senioi girls and their mothers, and the other for Freshmen and Sophomore girls and mothers. A special Christmas party was featured in December, as was a Music Recital Tea in january.

Tinfoil, other metals, and waste paper were collected. A drive for the conservation of paper lunch bags was carried on. A campaign by the Record Rustlersu was staged. Workers for the Needlites and Red Cross knitted sweaters and afghan squares and sewed diapers and quilts.

To keep the activities of the entire club running smoothly was the task of the Administrative Department under Bette Maples. Under each department from three to ten committee chairmen worked with other girls to complete the task. Early in the spring a Iunchroom clean-up campaign was staged by the Girls' Club. Council members took an active part, even helping with the actual serving behind the counters. I-Iostesses from the Girls' Club and members of the Boys' Club assisted in the drive. PERSONAL EFFICIENCY DEPARTMENT Under this department the health commit- tee sponsored apple, sleep, and proper shoe drives to improve the health of the students. Creed drives were planned by the standards committee. Felt emblems were given girls after they recited the creed. The charm club was active, posting clever posters and notices regularly on the second floor bulletin board, planning meetings with speakers on person- ality and looks, and arranging various cam- paigns. Front row: Dotty Capeloto, Katy I-Iarrison, Patty North. Back row: Doris Stobie, Helen White flrleadl. HOBBY RIDERS DEPARTMENT At the regular meetings of the three com- l mittees under this department interested girls were able to develop their particular hob- bies. Tallcs and demonstrations on flower arrangement were given by experts in that field. The opportunity to correspond with young people in other parts of the world was offered by the foreign correspondence club. Front row: Juanita Beck fI'IeadD, Carolyn Caillac, Dorothy I-Iall.

ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENT The main taslc of this department was to keep the entire club and its activities running smoothly by supplying the proper lubricating oils. Records were typed by the Clerical Committee. Nurses aids and rest room clerks were organized. Election and installation plans were executed successfully. The Ar- row, Girls' Club paper, was published. A new committee, the Minute Girls, was or- ganized to help with miscellaneous jobs, Front row: Annabelle Aller, Frances C-ailey, Margaret Creeno, Margaret I-Iunter, Donna Lewis. Back row: Betty Maples fl-Ieadj, Pat Poehlitz, Virginia Viggers, Mary Wienholz, Jane Williams. Any accomplishments, even though they are worthy of attention, would be worthless without some purpose. Behind all this activity in the Girls' Club, there was a purpose: the development of each girl to the maximum degree in line qualities of faith, cheerfulness, honesty, cooperation and dependability. The guide for each of the girls toward development into fine and worthy womanhood is the creed. Without the guidance and understanding of their advisor, Miss Chilberg, Girls' Club work would mean very little to the girls. It is her willingness to help and her loving attitude that furthered the purpose of their work. C BOYS' CLUB Your school, community, and your country are better societies because you are becoming a better citizen. You are beginning to realize the importance of cooperation, tolerance, and industry in a democratic society. You must realize that you will have to con- tinue in your growth as a citizen. Your posi- tion will not remain static. Your parents have made sacrifices for you l and your country, but these will not compare l to the sacrifices you are going to make. Pre- DON FRAME pare yourself at school and in your community, Boys' Advisor so that you are capable of understanding the things which will be expected of you. DON FRAME, Boys' Advisor The past year has been filled with Boys' Club activities. The success of these activities de- pended upon the guidance of lVlr. Frame, the leadership of the club officers, and the coopera- tion of all the boys. The Warriors' Club, the school service organization, functioned as a main part of the Boys' Club this school year. Under the leadership of President Earl Boyd, it has had one of its most successful seasons. With a pep-rally ready for every gridiron tussle last fall, the Warriors did their part to spur our Indians on to a championship berth. After the football season the work of the Warriors did not stop, they were then busy preparing Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets for charity. All those boys you saw fixing seats in the gym for bas- ketball games, roping off the baseball field, and keeping order at our athletic contests were members of the local Warrior tribe. Members of the Transportation Committee were those boys who brought their cars to school regularly and volunteered to use them in behalf of the school, in case of emer- gency or necessity. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons, these fellow-students were most helpful. They were the ones who carried our contributions to the needy. Another committee which has been functioning in the Boys' Club for many years, is the Projection Committee. This group showed to many classes educational films which today are becoming more and more an important part of teaching. At the close of last school year, little was left of the five member Yell Squad, in fact, only one. The succeeding year, the Boys' Club resolved to build and equip a Yell Squad second to none. Increasing the squad from five to nine men, by buying new sweaters, megaphones, and by getting high-spirited leaders, this job was accomplished. Joe James, chairman of the Friendship Committe, headed a group which was newly or- ganized this year. Little did we know how Joe and his committee would function. These boys were the reception committee for new boys coming to West Seattle.

I if obtained prominent speakers to entertain the student body before school, Thursday morn- ings, and as a whole proved worth while. Other committees organized during the year were: Toy Drive, headed by Bill Love, Cfhce Committee, which included the boys in the Boys' Club Office who took phone calls and ran er- rands, Safety Patrol, boys who helped out in air-raid drills, Library Committee, boys who took care of the Boys' Club books, and last of our standing committees was the Athletic Council IONEER boys in faded blue jeans, faces industriously scrubbed, walked with their little sisters, whose pigtails dangled, through meadows and over wooded hills to get Hthar larnin '. There, in a one- room log school house with dirt floor, the off spring of hardy pioneer stock congregated. Wind whistled through chinks in the logs. Wood fires, kindled early in the morning, struggled against the cold. Teachers, usually untrained, faced with the task of teaching all grades at the same time, were impatient over blundering mistakes. For the most part, Heddekashinn was left to shift for itself. Today, riding streamlined trolleys to well- lighted, well-ventilated, modern buildings, we students obtain our education. As Well as learning the three Rs, and geography and history, we have access to books on all subjects. Education has ceased to shift for itself and has become the foundation of de- mocracy. sq f'Qf?tf Us X M CLASSES Y , .

S PODSOI' When the class of '42 entered high school, they were at first a wee bit awed at the easy carefree mannaer of the upper classmen. Everything seemed such a contrast to the grade schools, where they had been treated more like children than adults. Now they were expected to stand on their own feet and assume responsibilities. l-lowever, the members of the class had initiative. Soon they were established, and taking part in school activities. The Junior year came, full of hard tests, dances, and a great deal of fun. There was plenty of hard work too, terminated by the management of the Senior Commencement. Then finally the Senior year came, and they were looked up to by the Sophomores, and their ex- ample was followed by everyone. They justified this confidence by putting on one of the best Sen-lor Plays in years, and other Senior activities which were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who particl- pated. Not only has this class excelled in class work, but there were many juniors on the championship track team last year, and then to end a successful high school athletic career, the first football co-champion- ship since '34, was won by our football team. Yes, we do have a class to be proud of. When school is out in June, and the Seniors leave for good, l am sure they will continue to set the high standards in their community business life, that they have set here at West Seattle High School. l feel very honored and pleased to have been chosen the representative of such a fine group of young people.

Who could forget those activities of ours: Field Day, the Junior Assemblies, and, best of all, our superb dances, i the outstanding events of the year? We have met every challenge squarely, and faced them all with steadfastness. No task was too great to accomplish. Our working together has built character- character that is necessary in preserving our American Way of Life. Juniors!

Dreariness of life on the lonely clearings, outlined by great forests, was broken by mer- rymakings and shows, attended from near and far. There were corn huskings, house raisings, quilting and spelling bees, choruses and bands, dramas, and box socials. just as life was not all work and no play for the pioneers, today organizations at school have been formed for our pleasure. Drama, music, newswriting, photography, make-up, knitting-the interests of every student. im' hifi Y i I 'WDQFYEH N D , ' ' ' 9- ,P 2 PRODUCTIONS AND CLUBS fl f A, f 1 Picturesque lamp at the Central C i t y , Colorado, Opera House erected in 1878 to bring culture to the people of the Old West.

KIMTAH Behind the scenes, the Kimtah staff has Worked the past year planning and doing the many things required before the annual could be placed in the hands of the stu- dents. Photographers rushing to the dark room with film just shot, writers with cramped ffigers turning out copy, earnest artists bent over their creations, checkers going over the list of graduating seniors, counters secretly recording the senior hall of fame votes, sports writers getting basketball lineups and pictures, make-up experts conferring on page layouts-the Kimtah staff busy at work. Virginia Anderson, editor, and Molly Tracy, her assistant, worked during the year managing the Work of all staff members and making the decisions, with the help of the advisor, lVlr. Wohlrabe. As photographic editors, Johnny Saeger, Walt Giles, and Bill Conant took the pictures which appeared in the annual. Art editors, Bill Aller and Cliff Blackburn, carried out the theme with pictures and cartoons. The Writing found in the annual was accomplished by Lucille Pedersen and Virginia Anderson, literary editors. As staff typist, Florence Glencross typed the Write-ups and the numerous identifications. The task of the sports editors, Eddie Nelson and Karl Schalka, was to see that the sports were written, that line-ups were correct, and that sports' pictures were taken.

Last- minute deadlines to meet, important people to interview, shouts of where's the dummy? kill on galley Eve, that head is short, who's got all the paste, and that joke 'tain't funny, McGee, afternoons spent in the Shack, long after the last front hall hanger-outer has left, Thursday evenings spent at the printers shifting ads, handling hot type, rewriting heads that will not count, securing a reprint of parts of the paper on clean white shirts, munching a scrumptious piece of chocolate cake somebodyis mother had been kind enough to bake to stay the pangs of hunger till long past the dinner hour. Working against a deadline, with the clock ticking away the seconds, with type- writers clicking, with a none-too-patient editor barking for the story-all this is anything but an easy life. It sounds like hard work, and is. But to take a reporter away from this whirl of excitement and pressure, and place him in an ordinary ex- istence would rob him of all joy. To many of the reporters this training will build for a career in journalism. To others it is merely a fellowship with people, which will remain but a pleasant mem- ory. To all, it is fascinating. L t to right: Marion Stephens, Virginia Ander- son im Humphrey, Bette Maples, Dick Quint, P ul Cour, Steve Ellis, Carolyn Caillac. Under the guidance of Mrs. Chamberlen, the staff, including members of the Newswriting II class, puts out an edition of the Chinook each week, with a few exceptions. Preliminary training is obtained in the Newswriting l classes. The staff members rotate every eight weeks. At the beginning of each of the five-week periods a managing editor is chosen on the merit of his past achievement and his ability in handling stories and at getting his fellow workers to cooperate. He assigns and plans the stories. An assistant editor is chosen to work under the editor as an 'iunder-studyi' in view of being the next managing editor. He takes care of the back page. The sports editor has complete charge of that page, including assigning the stories, and planning make-up. The feature editor assigns features and plans the feature column. But more is needed than the editorial staff to make the Chinook. Under it, must be an efficient crew of willing reporters who can and will devote their time to the newspaper.

QUILL AND SCROLL SENIOR PLAY As the house lights dimmed and the curtain rose for the performance of ulsadies of the juryi' by the senior class of l942 on Friday and Saturday nights, December 5 and 6, a tense audience waited in suspense until the moment the jury's verdict was read. A lovely French chorus girl on trial for her life, accused of the murder of her wealthy husband, by her maid! Ten jurors casting their votes: a wealthy society woman, an intellectual Spinster, a slangy hardboiled box office movie queen, a young idealistic college graduate, a new bride, a hot tempered Irish cook, a wealthy, cold blooded bigot, a realtor, a Scotch gardener, a young poet-all portrayed equally well. But more was needed to make the play the success it was than a group of Well re- hearsed actors. It took an efficient stage crew, expert make-up artists, a patient coach- ing staff, talented artists to paint scenery, a live-wire publicity force, a costume di- rector, alert prompters behind the scenes to command applause and curtain calls from the audience.

PON NOW Look, there goes the curtain! Eager eyes focused on the stage for Act l of West Seattle's Parade of Fun. .Managed by Margaret McDermott, A Visual Push Button preceded the 1942 talent show with the Girls 'W ' Club members acting as speakers and interrupters. So you call that humor, remarked several students from the audience who had Some- thing of an Argument to present. We'll show you some real entertainmentf, One of the agitators began with his version of Slapstick Comedy with Don Ireland portraying the great lover, assisted by Doris Stobie and Pauline Marinovich who, incidentally, administered the custard pie to poor Casey's face. Now l'll show you what people really enjoy, broke in another boy. lt's the good old- fashioned melodrama. We've called it 'Villainy ln the Villagef including the usual hero, heroine and villain. Principal characters were Lowell Fenton, Dick Hall, Merrie Erlandson and Phyllis Moe. Three local songstresses vocalized with Clementine in between scenes. Dancing! Scenery! You can't beat that! challenged another, so Grandma and Sissy, whose parts were taken by Pat S Karrasch and Ella Sanderson, watched as the characters in the little girl's story book took form as dancers in bright colored costumes. I'll still do you one better, stat- ed the next humorist. lt's a three- act fantasy called 'Mind Over Mat- ter.' Henry Anderson as an- nouncer, introduced the players and arranged the brief scene changes before the audience. Radio programs! I contend that more people listen to radio pro- grams in preference to all other forms of entertainment. After a fine display of talent by the accor- dion band, piano players, dancers, comedians, and the master of cere- monies, Teck Wilson, The Parade of Fun came to a rousing climax. Well, Jim, what's your opin- ion? Which act did you like best?,' Boy, l'd see it all over again if I had another ticket. Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. Pluto, the Penguins, and the Wolf between the acts. Two Snowflakes. Bette Cheek. Lowell Fen- ton, the Villain. Snowman and Minnie Mouse. pl-lE croaking of frogs echoed through the l marshy woodland. The rank odor of skunk cabloages Hlled the air. Twigs cracked as a band of hunters-men and boys alike-with guns cocked, scanned the marsh. A snipe sighted! Bang! Rush of enthusiastic followers to the place of landing. Another score! Majestic forests, grass-covered meadows, placid lakes and rippling streams were natural playgrounds for pioneer youth. Snipe-bagging, fishing, hunting, trotting matches, and horse- shoe pitching-they were the favorite pas- times. Surmounting the lack of equipment, these children found their amusements as youth always will. Though the types of sports have changed somewhat, young people engage in sports to- day for the same purpose: development of body, skill, and pleasure. A well-rounded sports program, including major, minor, and girls' sports, furnishes ample opportunity. Knowing how to play as well as work is as im- portant to us as it was to the pioneers.

Climaxing his second year as men- tor of the West Seattle Indians, Woody UIIin's success story shows he has car- ried a team from the cellar, to fifth place, to a tie for the football title of the city with the champion Ballard Beavers of last year. Not since I926 has West Seattle come close to a championship with the exception of I934 when Lloyd Doty's squad went into a three-way tie for a championship in which the Indians came out on the short end of the count. Action Shot: Queen Anne-West Seattle game. Bob Tilley and Bob Swanberg, jun- iors, were the small, but scrappy guards --the smallest pair in the league. Be- tween them was Ed Nelson, senior, at center who despite injuries played good games. Ray Feeney, senior, right tackle, was one of the main stays of the line. Lee Brewer held out at right end, breaking up end runs and figured in the winning touchdown at the Charity Game. ln the back field at quarter-back, was Hugh Snow, a senior, a good blocker and signal caller. Right half was the small but driving runner, Don Sherman, a senior. At left half Visco Grgich, a senior, made every all-city se- lection and earned it. Jumbo John Elliott, fullback, only a junior, had the best percentage for running of any back in the city. He turned in a 5.8 yards per try, for the season and third in yards gained. Opening the 1941 season against Cleveland, the Redskins showed sur- prising power after getting off to a slow start. Visco Grgich and Don Sherman sparked the lndians to their first win, I 4-0. The following Saturday, the lndians bogged down the Kuay passing attack in a sea of mud and emerged victors in their second contest. Visco Grgich saved the day by hauling in a pass from John Elliott to bring home the second victory for the lndians. After drawing a bye the following week, the West Siders tangled with Roosevelt in a crucial contest.

The week after found West Seattle battling the Pine Street Bengals of Broadway with Indians coming out on the long end of a 9-6 count with scores on a safety by Jack La Vassar, and a 35-yard pass from john Elliot to Lee Brewer good for a touchdown. Royally beaten five times, the Vow boys from Franklin were next to fall victims of the indian Grid Ma- chine. The Franklin team put up a hard fight but in the closing minutes, victory was assured when John Mitch- ell, sub. quarterback, snagged a short pass for the score. This win threw West Seattle, Ballard, and Garfield into a three-way tie for the championship. Last and final game of the regular season for the locals was the Ballard- West Seattle tilt on Thanksgiving Day, a natural game putting together the two top teams to find which would have the honor of playing Garfield for the Championship in the Charity Game on November 29. The first half of the game found the Indians pushed all over the field as the Champion Beavers opened up their famed attack to make the count 7-0 at the end of the half. The second half presented a rejuvenated lndian team which outplayed and outfought the West Seattle rooting section. Boys' and Girls' Club sell football emblems.

A pass from John Elliott to Jack La Vassar in the end zone proved, after a long sus- tained drive, to be the score for the ln- dians, to knot up the score and the game, 7-7, despite the fact that an at- tempted Held goal from the 35-yard line by Visco Grgich just failed to connect. Most fans left the field with the thought that West Seattle was doomed to play Queen Anne for third place since the Indians had not scored as many points against a common oppon- ent. However, with the aid of Advisor Frame, Principal Fulton, and Coach Ullin, the principals of the city high schools met, and decided to let West Seattle and Queen Anne share in a place for the title. ln that memorable game at the Uni- versity of Washington Stadium, a touchdown by Visco Grgich, and a last minute interception of a pass by a com- bination of Jack La Vassar and Lee Brewer, who ran 45 yards to make the winning tally for the lndians as the game ended l2-6. Ballard, in the sec- ond game, promptly walked all over Garfield to win their game 26-6 as the jubilant West Seattle rooters claimed a joint championship. Thus brought to a close another prep football season which will go down as the closest race in football history. At the Roosevelt-West Seattle game.

Game after game Lady Luck traveled with our opponents. Cpening the season against the highly favored Bengals of Broadway they met a close defeat, losing in the last minutes of the game. ln spots during the season they looked like a championship club, but the close ones seemed to be a jinx that the Indians could not overcome. ln spite of this handicap the West Siders came through to win three games. The victims were Roosevelt, which fell twice to become the sole possessors of the cellar, and Queen Anne, which proved to be the biggest upset of the season. Although finishing low in the standings the West Siders will remember this season because of Al Selfridge, outstanding center, who in spite of playing on a second division ball club was second place in the scoring race, and placed on the all-city team. Besides sparking the team, Al's I2-point average figured greatly in their victories. SECOND TEAM Top row: john Elliott, Fred Carrish, jack La Vassar, Bill Peterson.

Top: Lipton Trophy Bottom: Michigan Trophy TROPHIES Loyalty - Courage - Strength inscribed on the Michigan Trophy symbolizes the boys who through their skill in the sport and through their high spirit were tied with Ballard for the football champion- ship this year. This trophy was presented by the Michigan Club of Seattle. West Seattle's lighting Tomahawks captured the l942 Soccer championship thus adding championship No. 3 in less than a year, a record unequaled in many years at the local reservation. The Indian outfit had one of the best teams in years, yielding but one point the entire season. For their efforts they received a huge silver cup valued at SI ,000. The trophy, given by Sir Thomas Lipton, great sport enthu- siast, will remain here as long as the locals can hold that top spot. West Seattle will keep the All-City Track Trophy as long as the thin-clads can defend it. This trophy was presented last spring when the local track team Won the championship. Two other trophies, presented by the Boys' Club, are also in the case. These trophies, given in honor of the champion- ship track team and championship football team will remain as permanent trophies. TENNIS AND GULF TENNIS Coach Brink has his tennis squad training for this season's schedule which starts May 5, against Broadway. With no returning lettermen to holster his team, he is work- ing hard to round out his rack- eteers into a seasoned unit. With new material on the team we cannot expect too much for the present year, but they show promise for the future. The tennis schedule provides matches with each of the other eight high schools and, as a final, an all-city match with the best doubles and singles teams from each school to de- cide an all-city team. The tennis squad has always put up stiff resistance in the past and this year the boys will be on the up-grade battling for the championship. Good luck, boys! GOLF Showing a new determina- tion to beat past records, the West S e a t t l e divot-diggers started their schedule long be- fore other spring sports. With the new West Seattle golf course at their disposal and Coach Frame at the helm they proved to be one of the best squads in years. Although los- ing their first couple of contests each match was close and showed that the boys needed only practice and experience to field a championship team. As we went to press the sea- son had just got under way but by the looks of their steady im- provement the clubsters should win a few matches. TENNIS TEAM First row: John Chestnut, Troyer Hall, Richard Jensen, Bruce Keith Second row: Peter Marinovich, Chester Pietrusjewski, Don Sundbomh David Woodard. GOLF TEAM First row: Hobby Annabelle, Douglas Craig, Bob Dalton, Lowell Fenton Second row: Bob Kenyon, joe james, Dick l..aBelle, Gordon Richardson v BASEBALL With only two returning lettermen, the West Seattle diamond forces took the field in the opening game as an underdog team with very little chance of winning any games. In their first game against Cleveland they proved that there was no truth in such a statement by downing a fighting Cleveland outfit l 2-7 on the Eagle grounds. Behind the seven-hit pitching of Walt Clough, rookie pitcher up from last year's seconds the local tribe took advantage of breaks and won without trouble. ln the second contest with Aldo Campagnaro taking his initial turn on the mound, the locals piled up 8 runs in the first two innings to sew up a win over Garfield. Following this game there was a temporary lay off as Jim Pickering, a junior playing his second year of ball, was struck with a pitched ball and injured crit- ically.

His funeral services were attended by a large number of students with ball players acting as pallbearers. Play was resumed the following week when West Seattle traveled to Lincoln to meet the mighty Lynx who were then second place. ln this game Walt Clough whiffed I3 batters, gave up 7 hits and walked but one batter to win easily, 6-3. As this annual went to press West Seattle and Franklin were tied for first place with 3 victories and no defeats. It is hard to predict an outcome so early in the season but to this humble scribe it looks like a championship for the Indians of West Seattle.

But, West Seattle's Cinder warriors are burning up the track at the West Seattle stadium getting in shape to defend their title. Graduation hit the local tribe hard. But, newcomers are fast filling the ranks to defend the championship. Again this year Phil Brewer, all city man, is back flying the hurdles. Lee Brewer and Hugh Snow, two other veterans, will bring home firsts in the dashes. Phil Brewer, Lee Brewer, Hugh Snow, and Bjarne Qvale, have a tough job ahead to live up to the records of the past relay teams, but we are confident that the local lads will make a name for themselves. Jack lVlcKinstry, veteran, and Bjarne Qvale, will run the 440, also Royal Crooks who has been showing promise. The Indians' distant events do not look particularly potent at present, as Tom Ruggles in the mile and Jack lVlcKinstry in the 880, are the only veterans. Besides Phil Brewer in the hurdles are Hugh Snow and Bill Hall, who have shown class in recent time trials. ln the field events we have Jack LaVassar and Jack Sutherland setting the pace in the shot put, Dean Fredrickson in high jump, Lee Brewer, broad jump, and Elmer Pavey in the pole vault. This year's track squad has made a firm resolution to do their best to keep the championship home for an- other year. Top row: Lee Brewer, jack Mc- Kinstry, Tom Ruggles, Bjarne Qvale.

Murphy has now been so enlarged that it covers almost every phase of life of the active West Seattle student. By this program boys who are not able to compete in major sports can obtain an lntramural W by turning out in the boys gym before and after school for two or more sports on the program. A certain number of points are given for every turnout so that when a student has earned 400 points he may receive his letter. Below is a list of the sports and the number of points given for each turnout.

Inspired by the motto Vim for Victory, the number of girls turning out for after-school sports increased noticeably. The membership of the club, itself, increased approxi- mately fifteen per cent over the previous years' en- rollment. The season began, successfully led by speedball, a comparatively new sport. Speedball is a team game which combines soccer and basketball tech- niques. lris Stuck managed these turnouts, and Louise Fonken captainecl the winning team. Later in the fall, volleyball turnouts, manager by Dorothy Benson, got under way with Elizabeth Unger's team being the victors. The new year, I9-42, was well under way when Manager Pat Karrasch started the basketball season. The final champions of this sport were the mem- bers of Josephine O'Connor's team. ln late April, turnouts for the great American sport, baseball, began. An honorary member of the Club from Enumclaw, Elaine Kuki was selected as manager. The final games were still be- ing played at the end of May. Baseball winds up the year of major sports with great gusto! GIRLS' SPORTS MANAGERS Front row: Ella Mary Sanderson, Dorothy Benson, -Io O'Connor, Margaret McDermott, Mary jane Stobie.

It was possible for each girl who turned out for the aforementioned team or so- callecl major sports to earn l00 points in each one. Thus a maximum of 400 points could be earned in these team sports during the year. In order to receive a and to be installed as a member of the Girls' W Club 500 points must be earned. These extra l00 points can be made by turning out for the so-called minor or indi- vidual sports. These are badminton, managed by Louise Fonken in the fall and Ella Sanderson in the springg table tennis for ping pongl managed by Betty Brewsterg swimming, managed by Eileen Bjorjessong hiking, managed by Mary jane Stobieg tennis, managed by Josephine O'Connor, and golf, managed by jean Marie Luke. Life and its varied moods are portrayed through the effective movements of the Dance Drama students. These girls are selected for their ability to express themselves in dance. Dance Drama is held as a class during school time, and also as a club after school. These girls perform each year for the school by presenting an assembly with a definite theme. This year's was Variations ln the Life of a Young Girl. For the first time, this year an archery club was organized, managed by Dorothy Benson in the fall, and by Frances Radecop in the spring. As we go to press we hear that the club has challenged other high schools to do some tournament shooting. Physical education in the schools has long been the program for helping to build healthier and stronger bodies. With the present national need for physical fitness, the schools have stressed this program even more. Every student is doing her utmost to meet the required health standards.

It has been an exceptionally enjoyable year packed with thrills, humor and, of course, the usual disappointments. ln past years where we were but moderately successful in sports, this year We have risen to dizzy heights in conquering three crowns: foot- ball, track and soccer and have put up stiff opposition in the other sports. Although baseball is just under way, it looks as if the West Siders will be able to add still one more scalp to their belt if they continue their outstanding performance. However, let us forget the team itself and give credit to those men in whose hands lay the fate of a team-the coaches. Hats off to Ullin, Frame, Doty and Brinck. It is with deep regret that we bid farewell to the seniors who have participated in sports during their stay at West Seattle. To mention each one individually and tell of his outstanding feats would H11 the whole annual so we must pay tribute to them as a group. So to you seniors who have helped to put your school back in the sports we wish to thank you and promise that your memory will live in Teepee Town forever. The time has now come when we must draw the curtain on the l94l-42 sports season at West Seattle and hope that the future may hold as much success and hap- piness as has the past year.

His teammates respected him very -Lloyd W. Doty i ODAY is a reality, yesterday is already a memory. Looking back over the past year, . we realize time passes swiftly. It was fall. There were autumn leaves that tumbled to the ground. The air was crisp and cool . . . A snowfall heralded the arrival of winter . . . March winds whistled, birds returned, and it was spring. Before we knew it, summer came. School was out, the year was over. Time passed swiftly, but each moment had been filled to capacity. Remember: sitting in the rain at football games, jiving at the Tacky Drag and Toy Truck, and helping fill Thanksgiving baskets? Recall how we scanned the Chinook fea- ture column every Friclay! We brought toys for the Toy Drive, decorated the halls at Christmas, crammed for final exams, sang at banquets. Then remember, too, coming back from Spring vaca- tion with a honey of a tan plus a sprained ankle, our reward for skiing down the slopes of Mount Rainier, watching the dust Hy as the runner slid to first at baseball games, signing Kimtahs, bid- ding farewell to the seniors after commencement, writing the last term paper.

Woodshop classes turn out checker boards for the soldiers, WEST SEATTLE AIDS IN DEFENSE We, of today, have problems which seem to be unconquerable. Yet with the same determination, courage, and foresight we shall attain our goal-the continued existence of our democracy and the lib- eration of the millions of people who are now under the control of ruthless dictators. The victory will take sacrifice on the part of each and every American. Practice air raid drills became the first step towards our preparedness in the high school. A system of blue, red, yellow, and gas warnings was tried out and proved to be successful. Stretcher corps and first aid stations, which would function in the event of a raid, were organized. The turnout for first aid classes was great. The Girls' Club sponsored two afternoon classes. Under the guidance of Mr. Gorton, students built model airplanes to be used by the navy for recon- naissance work. Enthusiastic young botanists organized a Victory Garden campaign. Plants were given away to members of the school and community. When the Minute Men of '42,' began their campaign for pledges to buy War Bonds, a committee in the school began work along these lines. Panels were given by members of history, buymanship, and economics classes to create further interest in such aprogram. A drive was planned by the Girls' Club to collect tinfoil and other badly needed metals. Also a campaign for the conservation of lunch bags and waste paper was staged. Boys in Mr. Welch's woodshop class have turned out 500 checker boards to be given to soldiers in the camps. A blueprint reading class is training boys to meet the skilled labor demand, especially in the defense industries. I04 Lx 1 A SCHOOL DAY MORNING Upper Ieft: The 8:30 bell has rung!

HALL UF FAME ln early spring the Senior Hall of Fame vote was taken. That vote de- cided the person who had contrib- uted the most to West Seattle dur- ing the year. Earl Boyd U01 was given this honor by his schoolmates who felt that through his scholastic standing, participation in activities, and his friendly attitude, he had contributed much to our school. Earl was president of the Warriors. Seniors gave the title of The Most Likely to Succeed to Dave Potter Chosen for their friend- liness, their quick smile, and warm Hi, there! were Ada Woodhouse C6J, Likeable Lass, and Bob Thorsen C71 Likeable Lad. Ada was vice-president of the Girls' Club, while Bob was president of the Senior Class. Gretchen Scheenberger C813 was voted the Most Accomplished Girl. She is a talented hgure skater, a sports enthusiast, and a president of the Student Council. Maybe it's her smile, or the way she wears her hair, or the warm look in her eyes, but the consensus of opinion is that Connie Walker CU is the Prettiest Girl in the class. Connie had the lead in the Senior Play and was active in the Girls, Club. Don Sherman f5J, football player, was chosen the Best Looking Boy. Visco Grgich UU received the title of Best All-Around Athlete. Carolyn Gaillac and Bill Whitesel C32 were chosen Steady Couple. Joe james was voted The Spirit of West Seattle.

Marion Alford III was chosen the Girl with the Most Beautiful Eyes. Marion was corresponding secretary in the Girls' Club. Joanne Bloomer CBD took the Iead in the vote for The Girl with the Winning Smile, Joanne was secretary of the Senior Class. The distinction of possessing The Finest Complexion fell to Naomi IVIcGonagiI CZD, president of the Girls, W Club. It is a girI's hair that catches the eye. Irene Wilson C31 received the senior class vote for having the most beautiful hair. The Best- Dressed Girl was Betty Bolin C41 and The Girl with the IVIost Per- fect Figuren was Elise Bigelow f5J. Pat Sommerville C71 is the senior's choice as 'iThe Girl with the Sense of Humor. Pat was ac- tive in Girls' Club work as chair, man of the decoration committee. The best dancer of the class was Ethel Krupp There you are, boys-your ideal girl! Perhaps it is the beautiful hair or the attractive eyes that you have visualized as the outstanding characteristic of your ideal girl. Or maybe it is the ability in dancing, a pleasant smile, and a sense of hu- mor that have always Won your acclaim. But here they are-eight of West SeattIe's outstanding ideal girls, each chosen on some one of the generally accepted qualities that most of us wiII agree are important. ', FLW ' QQVVVV, i.

They, too, have mental pictures of the most beautiful hair, the most beautiful eyes, and the best-dressed man. Votes cast in the Hall of Fame election selected eight senior boys. A coat of tan, a winning smile, a prized sense of humor-all were qualities which helped in evaluating each of the contenders. Keith Colman CID, chairman of the Senior Day Dance Committee, led the race as the Best-Dressed Boy. It was decided without a doubt that the Boy with the Phy- sique was Lee Brewer Lee, during his senior year, was vice- president of the Boys' Club and ac- tive in track and football. Whether from skiing or swimming, or may- be it was just natural, Duff DeWitt UU had the best coat of tan. Have you seen Jack Bostick C3D smile? It won for him the lead in the race for the Boy with the Winning Smile. The vote for the boy with the ideal hair was far from close. The beautiful wavy hair of Eddie Nelson f6J would win in any com- petition. And Bob Dalton's CSD eyes? Many a girl has marveled at the beauty of them. Bob ran far ahead of any of his contenders in the race that decided no others had eyes that equaled his. Bob was very active in the affairs of the Senior Class. Another active mem- ber of the Senior Class, Van Harris f7J, took the lead for the designa- tion of the Best Dancer. AWARDS just as men like General Custer and Lewis and Clark were outstanding in pioneer days, there are graduating seniors who for their accomplishments are given awards. Perhaps the most important award of them all is the Willard Shield to which is added the names of one boy and one girl, who through their scholastic endeavor, participation in ac- tivities, and inspiring personalities contributed most to West Seattle and were the most inspirational to the students. The Shield was given in 1929 by his class in memory of Bill Willard-a fine representative of what is meant by He gave his bestf, Bill died as a result of injuries received while on the football Held. This year the names of Carolyn Gaillac and Bill Whitesel will be inscribed on the shield. Abandoning the customary practice of having a valedictorian and a salutatorian, the ten top students were designated as the honor students. ln this way additional credit was given for scholastic achievement. Those students are Lucille Pederson, Virginia Anderson, Mary Christ, Earl Boyd, Jean Mcjannet, Bette Maples, George Robertson, Pauline Marinovich, Roy Nilson and Jean Eldred. The award of Miss Inspiration is given each year to the girl who has been the most inspra- tional to the girls in school. The honor goes to Carolyn Gaillac this year. To the journalism student who has proven to be outstanding in this work is given the Kiwanis Plaque which commemorates the late Rupert Hamilton. The award was given to Virginia Anderson at a Kiwanis luncheon this spring. The winners of inspiration awards in the field of sports are the basketball and football players who by their effort, interest and good sportsmanship have set standards for their fellow players. Lee Brewer received the football award and Bill Whitesel, the basketball honors. 'fill 4, wwe -- mm mu hihVL H774 , 1 S L 1 , . K Upper left: Carolyn Gaillac. Upper center: Willard Shield.

We've tried to capture through our annual, the happy, the sad, and the busy moments of this past school year which once were realities, but which are now just pleas- ant memories. As editor of this year's Kimtah I am indebted to all those who helped to record these activities. I am espe- cially indebted to lVlr. Wohlrabe who, through his good natured prodding and helpful advice was the one person above all who was responsible for this annual. I want to express my thanks to lVlr. Hays and his history class for the research work they did on pioneer life and Mrs. Stevens and her art class for sketch suggestions. I want to thank Mr. Anderson of the Sherman Printing Gr Binding Company and the Acme Engraving Com- pany for their cooperation. Thanks also should go to Mr. and Mrs. Ralston and their helpers who so patiently took the class and club pictures and, to the staff, go my sincere thanks for all they have done. And so, with the writing of the final page of this Kim- tah we bring to a close the I942 chapter of our school life.
