MELVIN OLENE Principal Without their help this school year would have been a much more tedious job. The administration had many problems to face this year, since it was the first year after the parting of the Enumclaw-Buckley district, but with clear thinking they proved that they were well able to run the schools with ease and assurance. We all owe them a vote of thanks. H. N. PHILLIPS Superintendent The school board for the school year of 1953-54. consisting of Arthur Klanke. William Schwab. Walter Schodde. Art Weston. Clarence Caviezel. and the superin- tendent and principal. H. N. Phillips and Melvin Olene, respectively, worked together constantly to make the year successful. Their helpful suggestions and guidance served as the stepping stones over the deepest parts of education for the students of White River High School.

The graduating class of '54 has many answers for this question. It seems only yesterday that the freshmen chose for their officers President. Sandra Yotsko: Vice President. Joan Jacovich: Secretary. Arlene Atemboski: Repre- sentative. Gary Hodge. During ’51 Charlotte Ranch and Sue Hulett were elected to lead the junior high as cheer leaders. Louise Thieman was elected to represent the freshmen girls in the Girls' Club cabinet. 195 2 found our sophomore class busier than ever. At the beginning of the year they elected their class officers. Those who were chosen to fill the offices were: President. Gary Hodge: Vice President. Roy Demko: Secretary. Louise Thieman: Representative. Ron Barber. Eleven of the sophomores made Honor Society in ’52. and June Pariari was elected secretary. Sandra Yotsko and Charlene Van Hoof were on the Girls’ Club cabinet in their sophomore year. In the field of sports Gene Baker and Gary Hodge earned their letters in football. Dolores Benjamin proved herself as secretary of G.A.A. The sophomores found out that it takes a lot of work and class cooperation to put on a dance. For their sophomore hop they chose Dogpatch Stomp as their theme. Once again, another year was brought to a close with a party at Deep Lake. Finally we re juniors. How anxiously we awaited our senior year. As the year began once again it was time to elect our class leaders. Gary Hodge was again elected as president; Bert Inglin was Vice President: Joyce Osterdahl. Secretary, and George Michal Class Representative. Charlotte Ranch was busy during her junior year, for she was chosen as one of our senior high cheer leaders. Gene Baker and Gary Hodge again were the juniors outstanding athletes. It was time for the Junior-Senior Ball, and once again everyone got in and worked hard to make the dance a success. They decided on Spring Fantasy as their theme. As the junior year grew shorter and shorter their spirits grew higher and higher for they now could see themselves playing the role of seniors. Seniors at last—at the beginning of the year it seemed great. The seniors had confidence in their President. John Meisenbach: Vice President, Larry Argo: Secretary. Betty Fielding: and Representative. Dick Howard: for they knew the officers they had elected were dependable and would run the class affairs to the best of their ability. Gary Hodge has proven his leadership ability by being an excellent Student Body President. Credit is due June Pariari, in whom the girls put their trust to take care of the Girls' Club affairs. Don Winters can always remember when he was elected Honor Society President. The seniors all agreed that the judges made a wise i choice when they chose Jane Oliver and John Meisenbach. king and queen to rule over Homecoming. They also chose Gary Hodge and Clara Gallian as prince and princess. Everyone joins the senior class in congratulating Gene Baker, who was chosen best lineman in the league, and made All-State. He also received the Kiwanis Inspirational Award. The year no more than started when the seniors were taken to Tacoma to have their pictures taken. After the pictures were taken it was calling cards, announcements, fitting for gowns, dance. Senior Cruise, and many others. But now when their last year in school is so dose to being over, they stop and think over all the good times they had. and realize school isn’t as bad as they thought. How did those twelve years go by so quickly? ANDERSON. FRITZ (Andy) No lie? Football 4; Basketball 3f 4; Baseball 4; F.F.A. 2: Honor Society 2. 3. 4; Lettermen's Club. ARGO.

The class officers were Dick Albright, president: Joe Dieringer, vice president: Joy Bagnall. secretary and Paul Huhtala, representative, aided by Mr. Snell, class advisor. In sports the juniors were always participants, having four boys on the basketball squad and four juniors on the first 1 1 in football. The junior girls also did well in sports, having taken the G.A.A. basket- ball championship three years in a row. Aside from sports the big event that the class spon- sored was the Junior Prom. With Gay Paree as the theme, the gym was decorated depicting scenes of gay Paris. Nancy Myers and Phyllis Grab, chairmen, had a big job along with Mr. Snell, in planning the dance. With the help of other members of the class the tasks of selecting the band, making posters, and decorating were quickly solved. The class is ambitious to be as 7ood a senior class as they have been a junior class.

Kids reading the minutes of the lost Student Council meeting. This year's Board of Control, a real democratic organization, has completed another year. Gary Hodge, with his ambition, energy and reliability has made a very good president. He was ably assisted by Dave Jones, vice-presi dent: and Yvonne Anderson, secretary-treasurer. The Board of Control has been forced to meet many problems, such as lawmaking: student behavior at school activities and in school: approving amendments to the constitutions of newly formed organi- zations: and nominating next year's B.O.C. officers. Many new and varied problems had to be met due to deconsolidation, but these were well-solved. Among other things, a complete new constitution had to be written for the student body. It had to be decided if an annual were possible, and if it was. how elaborate could it be. The school's finances were a major problem. Mr. Olenc was the advisor, and was very helpful and understanding. The aim of the Board of Control has been to help provide a well run and efficient school, with the students participating in all the school's problems and activities. ' wet (Zin£ LEFT TO RIGHT: B.

June Pariari, with other mem- bers of the cabinet, worked hard toward service to the school and continuance of high standards. The Girls’ Club started the year out by sponsoring the Home- coming Assembly and Dance, which proved a huge success. Various committees appointed by the cabinet were assigned to carry out the many duties of the club, such as selling hot dogs. coke, candy bars, and coffee at home games. Decorating the Christmas tree in the main hall and putting holiday wreaths on classroom doors were all a part of the Girls’ Club work. One of the main projects of the Club was the Girls’ Club I olo held on April 2nd with “Sweetheart Serenade’’ as the theme. Other notable activities conducted by the Club were several assemblies with guest speakers, and the annual “Mother and Daughter Tea” held so mothers, girls, and teachers could become better acquainted. Rewriting the Girls' Club Constitution was another task under- taken by the Club this year. The object of this organization is to foster friendship and de- velop leadership among the girls. Membership is for all girls, grades 9 through 1 2. Dues of $.20 per year are required. The cabinet is composed of a President. Vice President. Secretary- Treasurer. a representative from each class. Sales Chairman Assistant Sales Chairman. Entertainment Chairman. G.A.A. President. League Room Chairman, and friendship Chairman. Forty points arc required for a letter and forty points for a chevron. Each girl has the same chance to participate in the varied activities of the Girls' Club during the school year. These boys are looking for ideas for pro- grams for the Boys' Club. Hl- ScAo ai PCtUf, SEATED: G. Hodge, C. Ranch, D. Jonos, J. Borter, F. Gonzales, J. Jacovich, R. Barber. STANDING: C. VanHoof, G.

It was successfully directed by Miss Mary Kincheloe. The plot of the play concerned a young genius. Dave Jones, who was tutoring the high school’s best all-around athlete. Gene Baker, so he could pass his tests and be eligible for the track meet. After working with Gene. Dave decided high school students weren’t dumb and immature after all. He began going steady with the principal’s daughter whom he had admired for some time. They both intended to enter college. Directing and producing a play requires much hard-work and effort. The large cast of 15 characters worked long hours memorizing lines and actions. Credit is also due to the prompters, stage crew and property committee for their excellent contributions and cooperation. Thanks goes to parents and friends who lent properties for the play. M. Chalberg, G. Baker, F. Gonzales, C. Ranch try to convince D. Jones to do them a favor. J. Borter, F. Gonzales, and D. Jones look on as G. Hodge jumps like a rabbit. SEATED: S. Martinolli, K.

Buckley’s three one-act plays were presented on February 4th in the high school auditorium. Directing “A Date for Bobby Sox” were Faculty Director Mrs. Elison and Student Director Charlotte Dieringer. Leading roles were played by Grace Ranch and Bert Provost. Grace was Bobby Sox and Bert was her boy friend. Harold. Other characters in the play were Margie, the sister (Patty Kos- ko). Mrs. Hanna;- the mother (Pat Stevens). and Mr. Hanna, the father (Ervin Olson). The play is of a typical teen-ager on her first date, but this turns out to be quite different. Harold falls in a pond and gets soaked. Bobby Sox brings him home to dry off. and to spend the night in their guest room. While doing this she has a ter- rible time keeping him out of sight of her family. The play keeps you in suspense until the very end. when everything turns out fine. Faculty Director. Mrs. Slette and Student Director. Ollic May Lingo presented “The Drums of Oude.” This play was of an Indian uprising taking place in the year 1857. The cast consisted of Ron Barber. Ben Beers, Susie Martinelli, Earl Vanderhoof, Mike Hemminger. Delfin Cook. Karen Brabec, Joe Caviezel. Jim Caviezel. and Gayle Culbertson. Goodnight. Please was presented by Faculty Director. Miss Kincheloe and Student Director. Joyce Borter. The leading role was played by Ed Demko. a prominent businessman, who for once decided he would stay in bed for a week, while other members of the family do everything they can think of to get him out of bed. While going through one of his tantrums, explaining that he will not get up, he bounces a little too hard and the bed breaks. This brought hilarious applause from the audience. SEATED: P. Kosko, T.

Meisenbach directing the band. The band has played a big part in our school this year. It was a wonderful feeling to walk into a pep assembly and have the band playing a peppy march. Along with the able conducting of Mr. Turley, the band has been improved with the purchase of a set o( timpani and an oboe. A novelty group that Mr. Turley formed was the Jug Band, which is a band in which the members played piffle flutes and jugs partly filled wtih water. Probably the highlight of the year was the Winter Concert, in February, which the band put on to raise money for new instruments. Other events in which the band participated were: two exchange assemblies, one at Eatonville and one at Yelm: the Christmas Concert, the Spring Concert, the band con test at Clover Park, the Band Festival at Fife, and the sole contest at Clover Park.

The Chorus and Glee Club, under the capable direction of Miss Mary Kincheloe started off the school year by giving an exchange assembly in Eatonville. The numbers taken from the Broadway hit “Showboat.” were acted out by the group. The work on the assembly proved to be very easy compared to the work put into the preparation of the annual Christmas program. But with a lot of hard work the program turned out to be a huge success. The Glee Club sang a selection of beautiful hymns while the Chorus sang several lively Christmas jingles. Everyone thought it was one of the best programs ever seen in the Buckley auditorium. Giving concerts, variety shows, and selling magazines all add up to a very success- ful year for the Chorus and Glee Club of 1 953-54. Besides giving programs the Chorus and Glee Club helped to raise money for the choir robes by selling magazines, but without the help of other school and civic groups, they would never have accomplished the project. In the early spring the Glee Club journeyed to Federal Way where they attended the Choral Festival. The group was commended highly on their singing ability. FIRST ROW: P. Hrinchok, Y. Anderson, D.

The annual Homecoming celebration of 195 3 was held on November 13 and started off with the election of candidates for king and queen. The candidates for king were: George Michals, Gary Hodge, Gene Baker and Johnny Mcisenbach. while the candidates for queen were: Louise Thieman. Darlene Ben- jamin. Clara Gallion and Jane Oliver. The festivities began with the Homecoming assembly where several musical numbers were enjoyed and the can- didates introduced! The highlight of the assembly came when Queen Jane and King Johnny were crowned Home- coming Royalty of 1953. Clara Gallion and Gary Hogc were chosen as princess and prince. The charming couple and their attendants reigned over the football game with Sumner. At half-time the royalty was presented to the audi- ence by being driven around the field in a flashy black convertible. The dance after the game also had an “air of romance ’ in it as the king and queen opened with the first offic- ial dance. The returning grads were very much impressed by the grandeur of the celebration. formet — “Hornet Editors, B. Olesrud and T. Boland. ROBERT BOEHLKE, Advisor FIRST ROW: J. Bannister, S. Frowen.

Tom Boland and Betty Olsrude, alternated as editor and assistant editor: as did the rest of the staff to allow everyone a chance to work on the paper. Putting ou the Hornet every other Friday was a big job. Due to lack of facilities the paper was typed, stenciled, and mimeographed right in the journalism class room, with everyone doing his part. To finance the paper the staff sponsored a hobby show which proved a huge success. The staff also had numerous candy sales throughout the year to raise more money. The first few months the staff progressed slowly, as most of them had had no experience in newspaper writing. With the help of Mr. Boehlke, however, the staff soon learned a great deal about the fundamentals essen- tial to putting out a paper. FIRST ROW, loft to right: H. Patrick, B. Fielding, H. Bauman, I.

Besides their duties at the charging desk, stu- dent librarians helped prepare 190 new books for the shelves. Their work also included typing cards for the card catalogue, filing cards and pamphlets, mending book, keeping the magazine rack, vertical file and book shelves in order. Art displays, book jackets, plants and flowers have made the newly decorated library even more attractive. Mrs. Elison and Mrs. Slette are the faculty librarians and direct the girls in their work. j4wtcozt Staffi tieL Stage ieov FIRST ROW, left to right: B. Inglin, J. Trullinger, M. O'Brien, L.

After years have passed they hope you can look at this issue of the T'kopechuck and relive this year. They tried to give an accurate and complete picture of high school life. They hope that, when you look at your annual such things as the athletes, who make our games so exciting, classes, dances, homecoming, fellow students, and the faculty will seem real again, and not just a faded memory. The staff has enjoyed combining their efforts to bring this annual to you. There has been a great deal of hard work and some fun involved. With Sandra Yotsko, a very competent editor, and able Yvonne Anderson, as assistant editor, the work has been finished. Mr. Boehlke. the advisor, was patient with the hopes, dreams and mis- takes of this group. He has been a real help. There is quite a lot of work in publishing an annual. Many hours were spent spacing pictures, writing stories, and putting the book together. The staff only hopes that they have fulfilled their aim and your desires.

This year the crews were com- posed of 1 9 members. Each member of the stage crew must contribute 40 hours out of school in order to earn a letter. This usually takes two years. Members of the projection crew schedule movies and show them to the different classes, while the stage crew members prepare the stage for plays, programs and assemblies. Also the stage crew takes charge of the public address system. YVONNE ANDERSON, Aji't Editor Society FIRST ROW, left to right: P. Baker, V. Nonavich, C. Van Hoof, J. Borter, S. Boyle, S. Morse, L.

Don was ably assisted by Margaret Warner, vice-president and Venetia Zaffee, secretary. This organization aims to promote a higher scholastic standing among the students, as well as to benefit them socially. Much of the year’s success is due to Mrs. Elison. who was an energetic and patient advisor. She was always ready to help with projects or parties and to aid the students in all ways possible. Any student maintaining a B average or above may be eligible for Honor Society. To be eligible for Torch, a member must maintain his average during his senior year. The sophomore class leads in the number of members with 18. The juniors have 13 and seniors follow with 11. There is a total of 42 members with 9 belonging to Torch. This year was begun by an initiation party held at Mrs. Elison’s home and was climaxed with a picnic in the spring. One of the many projects of the club was to serve pie and coffee at the Homecoming Dance. IDA ELISON, Advisor D. WINTERS, President M. WARNER, Vice-President V. ZAFFEE, Secretary The P.F.A. this past year has a lot to look back upon for their high achievements accomplished in agriculture. They had a very fine selection of officers in President. Bert Inglin: Vice President. George Michal; Secretary. Don Winters: Treasurer. Roy Demko: reporter. Joe Dier- inger: and Sentinel, John Talley. These officers were substantially advised by Mr. Sargent, class teacher and adviser. Joe Dieringer was chosen to be the Buckley Chapter's delegate to represent them at the F.P.A. convntion held March 30 at Pullman. Washington. Later in the year the F.F.A. held, their ninth annual banquet at which the boys received awards. Don Winters received the Washington State Holstein Award. This consisted of a three-day trip through Western Canada and Washington. Other awards were given to Bert Inglin. Norman Looney, and Jack Ross. Seniors who have graduated this year from Ag are Bert Inglin. Don Winters. John Talley. George Michal. Roy Demko. and Richard Rcamy. Of the these six boys, five of them have been in Mr. Sargent's Ag class for four years, one having been in three years. Thus proving their deep interest in the Future Farmers of America.

When Coach Ross sounded the call for basketball in November, he was confronted with the situation of having to build a team from inexperienced players. He built his team around ball-hawking Larry Argo and big Ike Bazzar, who turned out to be the team's leading scorer, with a 12.5 average. Round- ing out the first five were Dave Elison. Gene Baker and Rich Morgan. On the second five were Frank Gonzales, Dick Howard, Gary Hodge. Jim Mc- Donough and Ted Gonzales. The Hornet forces were dealt a severe blow early in the season when John Meisenbach. first-string forward, suffered a broken wrist and was lost for the entire season. The Hornets started off the season by losing to Vashon 46-41, but they went a long way from there in defeating Yelm and Orting twice, getting revenge over Vashon by a 51-46 count, and pulling off the biggest upset of the season by defeating highly-touted Eatonville 44-37. When the curtain rang down in February on the 1954 casaba sport, it found the following members appearing in the Maroon and Gold for the last time: Larry Argo. Gene Baker. Dick Howard. Gary Hodge and Jim McDonough. Returning lettermen to form the nucleus for next year’s team include: Ike Bazzar, Dave Elison. the two Gonzales brothers. Ted and Frank, and Rich Morgan: while the junior varsity, with their excellent team play and spirit, will very aptly fit into the vacancies left by the hustling seniors whose posi- tions were vacated by graduation.

As the freshman class ended their years in Junior High they were very active. Most of the Junior High football team, and quite a few on the basketball team were freshmen. The three Junior High yell leaders were also from the freshman class. Elected as President was David Baker: Vice President. John Boyle: Secretary. Bill Benbrook: and Representative. Helen Bock. In February the freshman class had a party with the theme “Heart of My Heart.” They had a scavenger hunt to begin the party, and as the people got back they started dancing. Refreshments of sandwiches, cookies and pop were served during the evening. Food chairmen were Kathy Tschumperlin and Jim Walcott: decoration chair- man was Kathleen Smiley: and cleanup committee chair- man was Donald Loomis. Mrs. Slette, freshman class advisor was their chaperon. To raise money for their treasury the freshmen spon- sored a candy sale in January and a sock dance after a football game in October. The freshman class appreciate the efforts of Mrs. Slette. David Baker, and everybody else who has helped make this year a big success.

Coach Doug Funk did a remarkable job of getting together a starting eleven with the material he had. The Baby Hornets, sparked by John Boyle. Don Case. David Baker. Albert Weatherwax and Bob Johnson, rolled up a seasonal record of two ties and three losses which wasn’t really bad considering their great lack of experience. The early part of the season saw the Baby Hornets tie with Peninsula and Fife in a couple of evenly matched games. However, in the remaining three games the Hornets were defeated once by one point and twice by large margins, due mainly again to their lack of experience and size. Most of White River's scoring was done by John Boyle, the Hornet full- back, on long runs and line plunges. However. Don Case and Albert Weather- wax also turned in some very nice runs and David Baker, the quarterback, exhibited some nice play calling. In the line it was mainly Bill Hensel and Bob Johnson who paced the Baby Hornets as they showed some swell tackling and blocking. When the season ended, nine out of the starting eleven went with it. so next year Coach Funk will probably be faced with the same problems that he had at the beginning of this season. FIRST ROW: D.

Schwab- I The Junior High School basketball team, although winning only two games, gained valuable experience and good sportsmanship. With every game they showed improvement in their play, and received experience which will aid con- siderably in future years of basketball competition. Jim Wolcott, a freshman forward, was the leading scorer for the team, picking up 98 points in 14 games. Rounding out the first five were: Ray Catchpole. who scored 66 points: Del Cook, who picked up 54 points: David Baker, who scored 33 points: and Martin Inglin. who scored 22 points. The prospects for next year are very bright for Coach Frank Osborne. He has two regulars. Del Cook and Martin Inglin. returning along with several players coming up from the second string.
