From the moment we enter the first grade until we graduate, each of us is building his own stairway to success. Through the formal training we receive in academic studies our minds are improved and disciplined. Our social development depends, in part, on another phase of school life. Participation and leadership in activi- ties teaches us to work together and to develop quali- ties of citizenship and responsibility. In the field of athletics, we are taught the importance of developing sound bodies. We learn to play together in a spirit of good sportsmanship and mutual pleasure. This annual's theme, Building the Stairway to Suc- cess, reflects on the period in our lives when we grow physically, socially, and intellectually.

We, the Student Body of White River High School, dedicate this annual, as a token of our respect and esteem. 4 MR. PHILLIPS, Superintendent Being in charge of a school full of energetic and growing teenagers is a job which could only be handled by our industrious school board, and our administrators, Mr. H. N. Phillips, Superintendent, and Mr. Ray Patrick, Principal. The Administration not only directs the school program, but also helps and advises the faculty and the students. The help they have given us the past year has been invaluable. MR. PATRICK, Principal SCHOOL BOARD: Mr. Fred Miller, Mr. James Webb, Mr. Van Madden, Mr. Elmer Hyppa, and Mr. Art Klanke. 5 'pacuity ■ GILBERT JORDAN Music BERNARD McGUINNESS Biology English MARY PARTLON Jr. High BEN1DICT WOLFE French History CAROL GELD AKER Physical Education DOUG FUNK History Physical Education GARY SAMBILA Shop LEE CRISMAN English History LLOYD BLANUSA Jr. High acuity ALMA SPITHILL English Counselor GABERIEL MOREULI English Spanish THOMAS ROSS Mathematics JANE VAN HOOK Home Economics RAYMOND NEEDHAM Agriculture ELSIE RICH Librarian These are the bus drivers who transported the out-of-town students to school.

Se Uwi CLASS OFFICERS: Phillip Person, President; Nancy Forler, Secretary; Joe VanHoof, Representative; and Larry Dodson, Vice-President. After twelve long years, the class of '60 fondly looks back to the enjoyable years spent at White River High School. In our Freshman year, the officers elected to lead us were Phillip Person, Pat O'Brien, Bruce Stubbs, and Dale Lambert. Many boys in our class played on the Junior High Football team that won the championship. Our class won the Pep Jug for being the peppiest class in the school. We also won first prize for our float in the Homecoming Parade. In our second year as sophomores we began to feel more sure at home at White River, now being members of the senior high. The class officers were Bruce Stubbs, President; Pat O'Brien, Vice-President; Joe VanHoof, Representative; and Elva Dale, Secretary. The main event of our sophomore year was our hop, entitled Swannee River Rock which proved to be both fun and successful. Being in Senior High meant assuming re- sponsibilities which was illustrated by many people in the class holding various offices and many boys being very active participants in ali the sports. Our Junior year was a big year for us. Bruce Stubbs was again elected class president. Other officers were Joe VanHoof, Butch Ross, and Marlene Hobson. Se tio%6 CLASS ADVISORS: Mrs. Geldaker and Mr. Wolfe. The Senior Class Trio composed of Alice Hackmann, Gillian Crackel, and Grace Dieringer sang at many school functions. Again our class was very active, having representation in sports, with eight Juniors on the starting eleven in foot- ball, and three in basketball. Many important offices were held by class members. Pat O'Brien, Jackie Sutton, and Ginger Gregg were members of the pep staff; Byron Wills was SBA Vice-President, and Nancy Forler Secre- tary; Eileen Baker was Girls' Club Vice-President. We presented the annual Jr.-Sr. Ball, using a beautiful Orien- tal theme as a climax to the year's activities. At last we reached our eagerly awaited Senior year, which proved to be the most eventful of all. Members of the Senior class presided over all the main organizations in the school. Our always active class won the SBA Ticket Sale, and selected Pat O'Brien and Ralph Bauman as royalty. The class also won the Annual Drive and elected Alice Hackmann and Steve Oliver as annual royalty. What a fond memory of the long awaited Home- coming and Pam Youngs, Bruce Stubbs, Nancy Forler, and Norm Ross being crowned as the coveted royalty. To make our last year the best ever, the teams won the football and basketball championships. Both teams were made up mainly of seniors. Most of us will remember the trip the whole class took to Tacoma when our pictures were taken; ordering our calling cards; announcements, and robes. They certainly were fun. Our years at White River certainly were successful. Much credit is given to our competent advisors, Mrs.Geldaker and Mr. Wolfe who helped usinso many ways. The class of '60 looks back on the years with fond memories. Then, at long last--graduation--a beautiful end- ing to four wonderful years. i A group of Seniors are seen measuring for their caps and gowns. 13 Choosing their calling cards was one of the many tasks of the Seniors.

The year began with the arrival of the treasured school and class rings. Leading the class through the many activities were officers Dave Williams, Pres.; Lyn Rose, Vice- Pres.; Marita Stahl, Sec.-Treas.; and Ann Marsh, Rep. The class joined with the Senior class to put on the Jr.-Sr. Ball. The many class committees worked diligently on the decorations, and the result was an impressive and long-remembered dance. The class devoted extra time and energy to partici- pate in the various activities throughout the school. The Junior class sponsored a sock dance, and sold concessions, both of which were very successful. The members of the class are looking forward to their big year as Seniors. 24 The Junior Class Officers put on glasses to work out the intricate details for the Jr. Sr. Ball. Many of the Juniors look forward to taking Typing I in their Junior year. Z. Anderson D. Argo J. Arrants G. Barber C. Bishop C. Bishop R. Bolton B. Boyle B. Brewer A. Cobb A. Coyne B. Derby B. Dey G.

At last, Honor Society requires more than a 3.2 grade average to be a member. Among their activities was their annual initiation of new members. They presented the traditional Christmas play, a soc dance and sold concessions, to continue to be an active organization in this school.

Next, the boys entered animals in the Puyallup Fair and other livestock shows where their prize animals won many awards. At Christmas time, the organization gathered a basket of food for a needy family. Perhaps the biggest event was the Sweetheart Dance where the F.F.A. crowned their new sweetheart for the following year. The year was ended by the F.F.A.

They participated in the Christmas, Winter, and Spring Concerts, and the League Chorus Festival. The groups presented a good variety of music which was enjoyed very much by the public. Perhaps the most greatly enjoyed number was the number, Twas the Night Before Christmas, sung at the Christmas Concert by the Chorus.

During this play there were very few props used. The only place there were any lights was where the action was taking place. The play was not a comedy. Rather, it was dealing with the problems that were present in many homes; the parents being too busy to take time with their teenagers.

Providing half-time entertainment during the Football and the Basketball games was one of the big jobs of the Drill Team this year, but these girls always made a fine appearance with their clever marching. This year the Drill Team replaced the former Pep Club. Taking over all of the responsibilities of the club, the girls did their best to promote school spirit. They ushered at the games, sold pom- poms, and pennants, decorated goal posts and did many other things to help the school in some way. In all of these, they did a fine job, and represented the school well. Drill Team Majorette Georgia Lockridge The Drill Team presented a novelty routine at Christmas.

On the evening of February 6, 1960, the Junior and Senior classes combined their efforts to present their annual Jr.-Sr. Ball. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated in various colors of green to carry out the theme of Harbor Lights. Unique scenes depicting the sea were used. On one side of the gym was a large painted mural of a harbor, and the centerpiece was a lighthouse. Fishing nets, sea shells, and fish were among the other decorations which added to the atmosphere of the evening. A good time was had by all dancing to the dreamy music of the Bob Hoff- man Quintet. 54 P%. — S . SsiM Much hard work was done on a large mural for the dance. A few Junior and Senior Class members got together to make papier-mache animals for the dance. Everyone worked very hard and the evening proved to be a success. General Chairmen for the dance were Lyn Rose and Bruce Stubbs, and Decoration Chairmen were Grace Dieringer and Shirley Melton. They were assisted by capable committee chair- men. The large crowd danced dreamily to the music of the Bob Hoffman Quintet. Enter- tainment was provided by the Sawyer Sisters. This dance was enjoyed by all, and will al- ways be a fond memory of those who at- tended. These are the various committee chairmen for the Jr. Sr. Ball.

It was carried out very effectively by using blue, pink, and white drums, notes, and records for decora- tions around the dance floor. Mary Beth Jones, the general chairman, received much help from the whole class. During the intermission the crowd was entertained by Linda Kleppe singing a few selections.

The program included several musi- cal numbers and an address by Gene Emry of Enum- claw. The highlight of the afternoon was the crown- ing of the Homecoming Royalty. Cheers filled the auditorium as Pam Youngs and Bruce Stubbs were crowned Queen and King, and Nancy Forler and Norm Ross were crowned as Princess and Prince. The radiant royalty reigned over the victorious game against Orting. The Homecoming Dance, carrying out the Hawaiian theme was decorated in beautiful tropical colors and was the perfect climax to the perfect day. 60 King Bruce and Queen Pam were crowned by last year's royalty. The royalty reigned over the festivities throughout the day.

This year the league was divided into two divisions with White River being in the bigger school division, thus playing stronger teams. With eight returning starters, the Hornets began the season with a 20-7 loss to a strong Issaquah team. Since the game was not in league play, the Hornet's spirit was not dampened.

The game was a one- sided affair as the strong Hornets defeated the Cardinals by a score of 40-0. The Hornets' only loss of the season to Issaquah hurt their chances for a high state rating, but they finished a respectful eleventh. The two main contributing factors to the very successful season was the big Hornet line which held their opponents to only 60 points, and a strong backfield which rolled up a respectful 155 points.

The White River Hornet Basketball team had one of its most successful seasons in the school's history, win- ning the West Central League championship. This was the first basketball championship in 18 years, and the third for the school. The Hornets, sparked by Captain Russ Rudolph, were composed of a squad of nine seniors and two juniors. The six returning lettermen from last year's second place team were Russ Rudolph, Joel DeLisa, Ted Knapp, Norman Ross, Brent Cristel, and Jerry Jeter. The team compiled a record of 12 wins and 2 losses in league play, and a seasonal record of 14 wins and 2 losses. There were many thrilling hard-fought games. The two losses occurred during the second half of league play. These two were to Peninsula and Fife. By winning the West Central Championship, the Hor- nets entered the State Class A” High School Basket- ball Tournament, which was held at the University of Puget Sound Field house from March 9-12. Here, they were very successful. The first game they played was against Quincy, which they easily won. The next night, the team played a tough team from Chehalis. Although it was a hard-fought, close game, the team lost. In the semi-finals, the Hornets beat Woodland. Winning this game put them in the finals. White River played Lynden the final night, but lost in another thrilling game. This gave them 7th place, which was a big honor. The victorious Hornets suffered a big loss this year with nine seniors graduating. 65 Center BRENT CRISTEL Forward NORMAN ROSS Guard JERRY JETER Guard RUSS RUDOLPH Guard Forward Forward DAVE WILLIAMS Center 66 FIRST ROW: Gary Horton, Don Argo, Ken Holyen, Frank Streepy, Gordon Mills, Ken Kosko, John Riley, Gary Barber, Joe Kolish, John Kacer. 67 1 .

Ron Miller and Rnady Ruley won many of their matches against the other schools. This year, wrestling was introduced as a new sport in the school. Coach Needham was faced with the problem of no experience behind the team, and not very many boys turning out for the sport. Many of the boys did very well, though. The team didn't win any matches, but many of the underclassmen proved that they are going to bear watching next year. Ron Miller, a freshman, was a standout, losing only two matches all year. Others who made good showings were Ralph Bau- man, Alan Kosko, and Gene Rackley. With only three seniors graduating from the team, prospects for a better year next year are high. 7fHZC RETURNING TRACK LETTERMEN: FIRST ROW: Bruce Ogston, Carl Smith, Larry Dodson, Vern Maas. SECOND ROW: Gary Hamilton, Jerry Patrick, Bruce Brewer, Ralph Bauman, and Ted Knapp. Larry Dodson and Ralph Bauman won many places in the discus and shot put respectively. Coach Gary Sambila had a large number of returning letter- men for his second year as Track coach. There were also several promising Sophomores up from the Junior High squad. On the squad were many Seniors who had lettered since their Sophomore year. Among these were: Brent Cristel who threw the javelin; Ralph Bauman who heaved the shot-put; Norman Ross, who ran the hurdles; and Ted Knapp who par- ticipated in the high jump. Several of these boys got to go to the sub-district and district meets putting an end to a very successful track season. RETURNING LETTERMEN: Ronnie Gatto, Dwight Partin, Jerry Jeter, Russ Rudolph, Byron Wills, and Dave Williams. Dave Williams not only had a good pitching record, but a good batting record also. With many returning lettermen to fill the key positions, the Hornets had a good, all around ball club. Coached by Mr. Blanusa, the White River Hornets played excellent ball, and hopes for capturing the championship were high. There were many enthusiastic Freshmen and Sophomores to back up the team in their various games throughout the season. With only a few Seniors lost through graduation, the prospects look high for a good team next year also. There were many exciting, close plays during the baseball season. 7e uU FIRST ROW: Kent Visnaw, Patty Rooney, Pat O'Brien, and Elenore Knapp. SECOND ROW: Jim Bock, Betty Webb, Grace Dieringer, Zeola Anderson, and Marlene Heddrick. This year Coach Morelli faced a more successful season because of some experience behind the team. They did well in competition against the various teams in the league. One of the standouts on the team was Marlene Heddrick, returning for her second year of action. She won many of her matches both in singles and doubles. With only a few seniors graduating this year, prospects for next year's team are bright. TENNIS COACH: Mr. Morelli. Marlene Heddrick and Eleanor Knapp practiced for a girls' team. 72 Kent Visnaw and Jim Bock played together as a boys' team. CLASS OFFICERS: John Martinson, Pres.; Jim DeLisa, V.

The Junior High team finished the 1959 season with a 2-2-2 record which was very good for the first string team consisting of ten Freshmen and one eighth grader. There were many close games in the rough action as they played the various strong teams in the league. With most of the first string going into high school, pros- pects for next year's team are not very high, but there are many good seventh and eighth graders still left to form the nucleus for next year's team. COACHES MANAGERS: C. McManis, J. Fugate, J. Brenner, Mr. Uong, Mr. Sambila. FIRST STRING: FIRST ROW: D. Heddgers, B. Olson, A. Moulden, C. Whitmore, L. Porter, D. Eastom, G. McCauley. SECOND ROW: R.

However, three of these games were lost by only one or two points. The team improved consistently as the season progressed, and in their final game defeated Curtis, the league champions, by a score of 34-30. Ted Collins was the team’s leading scorer, with a 13.5 average. He, along with many of the other boys coming up from Junior High, will be outstanding contributions to COACHES and MANAGERS: Mr. 1116 high sch°o1 team- Mariotti, Jim Person, Gene Smith, Mr. Blanusa.
