(e „ v� v w .o9° Professor Snodgrass, an expert on the art of propos- ing, was helped by actors to get her point across. Something new was added this year at White River High School. A Comedy Revue in the best vaudeville tradition replaced the traditional One-Act Plays. A Young Man Grows Up was presented to the public January 30, 1957 by the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Classes. Directors for the event were Mrs. Borgstrom and Mrs. Rich. Told in skit and song, A Young Man Grows Up deals with the adventures and misadventures of our hero, Johnny from the time he was a pint sized problem on his Father's knee to the time when he was bounding his pint sized prob- lems on his own knee. The highlight of the evening was the Miss Universe Contest starring the football team. A large and very enthusiastic audience was ample proof that this innovation was a tremendous success. Much credit is due to the many people who contribued so much to its success. There was a time when his daughter was a contestant in the Miss Universe contest. W. R. Students Presented “Books and Crooks” Members of the cast, Books and Crooks, were: Gene Robertson, Bill Benbrook, Patty Kosko, Jeanne Hatch, Dick Roney, Ray Bernadelli, Dennis Pariari, Kathy Tschumperlin, Denny Wakkuri, Bonny Bagnall, and Esther Knapp. What would happen if a bank robber locked the school principal in a closet and impersonated him? The ans- wer to this question was found in the All School Play, Books and Crooks. The play, directed by Mr. Morelli and Mrs. Rich, takes place in Principal Henly's office at Alexander High School. Things start happening when the bank across the street is held up and the crooks, played by Ray Bernadelli and Dick Roney, hide out in the school. One of them discovers he is a dead ringer for the principal and this impersonation causes Miss Hamilton, the secretary, played by Jeanne Hatch, to think she's losing her mind. Before the truth comes out she's certain of it. Adding to the fun and subtracting from the orderly routine of school are Lindy (Patty Kosko); Larry, her boy- friend (Bill Benbrook); Gerard, who has a talent for writing poetry (Dennis Pariari); Goody, Gerard's girl (Kathy Tschum- perlin); P. Oliver Burkholder, the bank president (Denny Wakkuri); Lieutenant Shaw (Gene Robertson); and two irate mothers, Mrs. Gunklock (Esther Knapp), and Mrs. Blickle (Bonny Bagnall). It looks like lindy and Goody have a good time entertaining their boyfriends during their office period. But Mr. Henly, you've already taken your medicine! 23 King Bill Queen Carol Alumni Enjoy Annual Homecoming Prince, Roddy Youngs Princess, Jeanie Podolak Cadidates for Homecoming Royalty were: Queen: Charlotte Dier- inger, Patty Kosko, Jeanie P'jolak, and Carol Renner; King: Grover Gregg, Roddy Youngs, Bill Benbrook, and Dave Baker.

Stage work consists of the show- ing of movies, setting up the P.A. system for as- semblies, and building and setting props for school plays. Fourteen librarians supervised by Mrs. Rich, worked in the library. Besides their duties at the charging desk, they helped prepare books for the shelves, typed cards, and also did other jobs which kept the library in smooth operation. The capable office girls helped the school's secretary, Mrs. Baumgardner. The girls were al- ways on hand for taking attendance, typing, run- ning errands, filing, and doing all sorts of odd jobs. They all helped to make our school function more smoothly.

JAMBOREE The Hornets opened the season at Fife in the Jamboree and drew Fife as their opponent. Dave Baker to Jim Wolcott was good for a 40 yard touch- down pass to give the first game to the Hornets, 6-0. White River then tied Bethel for the Jamboree Championship. WHITE RIVER VS. ISSAQUAH The regular season was opened by the loss of a practice game to Issaquah, 18-10. The Hornets were outweighed, but played good ball; the whole team looked good in defeat WHITE RIVER VS. YELM The Hornest lost a close game to Yelm by the score of 13-7 The game started quickly with a pass from Kuranko to Baker for the first score of the game and also the last for the Hornets. Dave Baker and Dick Kosko played fine ball for White River. WHITE RIVER VS. ORTING The White River eleven finally came through with a well earned victory over Orting 25 to 0. The hard charging line plus Baker, Richardson, and Hall was too much for the Cardinals from Orting WHITE RIVER VS. BETHEL Bethel's big line took the measure of White River by the score of 18 to 0. The Hornets couldn't get started and failed to score. Jim Wolcott Left End 32 Place in West Central League Dennis Pariari Center Jan Wolcott Right End Jack Hahto Gary Edwards Right Halfback Right Tackle Dick Roney, Manager, and Mr. Ross, Assistant Coach, listened to Coach Redmond's prediction of the next game. WHITERIVER VS. FIFE Fife's Trojans, one of the best teams in the league, had to come from be- hind to beat White River 27 to 7. The Hornets started with Dave Baker through for the first touchdown of the game. But they could not hold off the Trojans ground attack. Bill Hensel, Jim Wolcott, and Charles Reamy led the Hornet line. WHITE RIVER VS. EATONVILLE Eatonville, the number ten team in the state at that time, was surprised by the Hornets who fought them to a 13—13 tie. Jim Wolcott and Dennis Par- lari intercepted four passes between them to halt Eatonville threats. Richard- son was the standout in the backfleld. WHITE RIVER VS. VASHON Lenny Kuronko Quarterback Jerry Olson Left Guard Bernie Berg Right End The Hornets had too much ability for the Pirates from Vashon and won by the score of 20—8. Jan Wolcott was injured, but the Hornets kept im- proving. Once again it was Bob Richardson doing the work in the back- field along with Jack Smith. WHITE RIVER VS. PENINSULA The Hornets fell victim to the champions of the league by the score of 33—0. The fine offensive game of the Peninsula eleven was too much for the under-manned Hornets who suited up only 14 players. This was the last game played for the four Seniors on the team, Dave Baker, John Boyle, Jim Wolcott, and Charles Reamy. 33 John Wellock Right Halfback Hornets Work Well with New Coach Dove Baker was chosen to receive the Inspirational Award for his inspiration towards the team.

SECOND ROW: Don Hall, Jan Wolcott, Walt Olsen, Lenny Kuranko, Gary Edwards, John Boyle, Dennis Pariari. 34 Rooters Support Basketball Team This year's basketball team was not a winning team, but Coach Ross said that it was a successful year because the ball club played interesting bas- ketball. The team won only 3 ball games out of a very short schedule of 16 games. Their victories were over Evergreen of Seattle by the score of 29—26, Vashon by the score of 54------39, and Fife by 55—38 in their last ball game of the year. Among their losses were 2 close ones to tfie league leading teams during one week, there was a 7 point loss to Pen- insula and a 4 point loss to Eatonville. In both games the opposing team had to come from behind in or- der to win. Coach Ross only lost four Seniors this year which gives hopes for next year's basketball squad. The four Seniors are Dave Baker, Jim Wolcott, Mike Schwab, and Ken Berg. Jim Wolcott carried the bulk of the offensive load with a 14.4 average. Other senior's averages are Berg 5.3 and Baker 5.3. Wolcott scored 230 points, Berg 85 and Baker 83. Ross will build next year's team around 5 return- ing lettermen, Martin Inglin, Jan Wolcott, Dick Ron- ey, Lowell Trullinger, and Gene Robertson. Trul- linger scored 93 for a 6.2 average and Inglin scored 85 points for a 5.3 average to lead next year's returners. The rest of the varsity will be filled by Junior Varsity members and promising upcoming Sophomores. FIRST ROW: Gene Robertson, Jim Wolcott, Dave Baker, Ken Berg, Mike Schwab.

Coach Funk complimented Dale Lambert and Jerry Jeter on their fine job as Junior High football managers. L.oach Funk's Junior High Football Team left nothing to be desired as they crushed every opponent they faced on the way to their league championship. The team stressed both defense and offense. The Baby Hornets scored an average of 25 points per game while their rivals managed two touchdowns the whole season. The Hornets started out with a close 12-6 victory over Enum- claw. Then the Hornets swamped Marymont, Bethel, Peninsula, Du- Pont, Fife, and Curtiss on their way to an undefeated season. The reason for the Hornets success was plain and simple—a big strong line and a very hard running backfield, with Ralph Bau- man, Butch Ross, Alan Kosko, and Bruce Stubbs making up the back- field. Bauman, the Hornets big fullback, scored an amazing 12 touchdowns. Not many Junior High teams at White River can boast of such success as the 1956-57 Junior Hornets. The outstanding players of the Junior High Football Championship team were: FIRST ROW: Robert Miller, Alan Kosko, Russel Rudolph, Larry Dodson, Byron Wills, Larry Hansen, Raymnd Parkko.

Seniors Recap Past Years Leading the class during their last year in high school were: Jim Wolcott, Representative; Mike Schwab, President; Dorothy Locke, Secretary-Treasurer; and Bill Benbrook, Representative. As the end of our Senior year draws to a close, we look back and recall twelve years of memories. That very first day when our mothers took us to enroll in the ivy halls of learning, twelve years seemed a lifetime. As we became Freshmen, the remaining four years was what we all had been waiting for. In our Freshman year we elected Dave Baker as our President; Helen Bock, Representative; Bill Benbrook, Secretary,- and John Boyle, Vice-Pres- ident. In our Sophomore year we began to feel more at home since we were at last in Senior High. The class was led by President, Roddy Youngs,- Vice-President, Kathy Tschumperlin,- Secretary, Shirley Trullinger; and Representative, Dave Baker. Being in Senior High meant assuming responsi- bility which was illustrated by Charlotte Dierin- ger. Honor Society Secretary, and Lois Remington, Girls' Club Secretary. Jeanie Podolak, Patty Kos- ko, and Judy Borter were on the yell squad. Life Of The Party with a cast of twelve char- acters was a howling success. Also a success that year was our Sophomore Hop, Turkey Trot. We started our Junior year by electing Bill Ben- brook, President; Bonny Bagnall, Vice-President; Shirley Trullinger, Secretary; and Kathy Tschum- perlin, Representative. A Southern courtyard and many brilliant col- ors carried out our theme of Mardi Gras for the Junior Prom. Co-chairmen for the dance were Carol Renner and Jim Wolcott. Many offices of importance were held by mem- bers of the class during this year. Charlotte Dier- inger was S.B.A. Vice-President; Judy Borter, Patty Kosko, and Ruth Merriman were on the yeL squad; Shirley Trullinger was Vice-President of Girls' Club; Dave Baker was Vice-President and Maynard Oliver was Secretary of Boys' Club; and Esther Knapp was Vice-President of Honor Society. Our Junior Class Play starring Patty Kosko, Ju- dy Borter, Jeanie Podolak, Esther Knapp, and Er- vin Olson was a huge success. At last we reached our much anticipated Sen- ior Year. Dave Baker was entrusted with the of- fice of Student Body President; Mike Schwab had the task of Senior Class President; Girls' Club President was Carol Renner; GAA President was Lois Remington; the Pep Club elected Kathy Tschumperlin as their President; and Esther Knapp had the big job of Honor Society President. Also from our Senior class were Hornet Editors, Sue Martinelli and Ervin Olson,- and Willie Rinell handled the big task of T'Kopechuck Editor. The Senior Class had 100% in the sale of member- ship tickets and elected Shirley Trullinger and Ken Flink as SBA royalty. The class also won the T'Kopechuck Sale Contest and elected Sue Martin- elli and Maynard Oliver as their royalty. Attesting to the scholastic ability of the Seniors were Esther Knapp, Charlotte Dieringer, and Bonny Bagnall, who took the National Merit Scholarship Test. The majority of the yell squad also came from the ranks of the Seniors. They were Judy Borter, Pat- ty Kosko, Jeanie Podolak, Charlotte Dieringer, and Ruth Merriman. We feel we owe much of our success to our competent advisers, Mrs. Rich and Mr. Ross. As we look back on our Senior year we will always remember the good times that could not have been had without them. To each other, we wish the best of luck no matter where we are or what we do 50 Seniors Are Led by Efficient Advisers BONNY BAGNALL Girls' Club Letter Winner 1, 2,4; Annual 1,2,3,4; Class Officer 3,- All State Choir 3; Quill Scroll 4; Class Play 2,- Honor Society 2,3,4; Torch 4.
