KLIPSUN comes off the press to fill its niche in the records of WWC. Our
boys are still fighting and dying on foreign battle fields, restrictions
on the home front are even more rigid, but this year we refuse to look
back on the dark trail we have been traveling. Instead our hopes go
forward, for-ward to a future of lasting peace - our future which we,
the college students of America, are go-ing to make and PRESERVE! Since
the beginning of the war, we have been working here at WWC determined to
preserve our school, its ideals and traditions. Now it is time to go
forward once more, to progress, to build, to better ourselves and our
institution toward the day when our service men and women will return.
Theirs will be a task well done. How about ours?

Hicks, Dr. Kuder, Robert Meyers, George Jur-gens, Dick Lurie, Dick
Brunswig. To you -soldier, sailor, coastguardsman, and merchant seaman -
to you in khaki or navy blue, we dedicate this annual, the 1945 KLIPSUN.
In it you will find recorded the wartime studies and ac-tivities of your
instructors and classmates who are working and waiting for your return.
Some of your buddies, a group of which are pic-tured above, have already
rejoined us here on the campus, and it is our fervent prayer that you too
will soon fall in step with us again as we march through college life,
that you will soon be here to help originate and record the history of
your school and ours. Together we will strive to build a happy world,
happy because it is free and secure. So until we meet again, it is to you,
Seaman Jones, and you, Private Smith, that we dedicate the 1945 KLIPSUN.

Dr. W. W. Haggard, our capable president and friend. President's Message
The Klipsun staffs have been in the habit of striking a timely note, and
it is being done this year in honoring our service men and women. To use
Lincoln's words, it is altogether fitting and proper that the staff should
do this. The number in the various services given on our service flag is 8
15, and the number of gold stars is 31, reasons a million times sufficient
and profound for the dedication of this book. Surely, the College is
justly proud of its graduates and for-mer students who have served a great
cause so valiantly. More-over, it is indebted to them beyond its ability
to repay. Un-doubtedly, the greatest contribution we can make toward the
payment of this debt is to aid in the creation of a world in which war
cannot recur. Basically speaking, where can we turn except to democratic
education? W. W. HAGGARD. Trustees-Left: Vern Branigin; right: Dr. W. D.

It's a big and important job being a college instructor. A job which does
not end as the class leaves the room, but continues through every waking
hour. This year, sixty WWC faculty members not only teach and inspire us
in the classroom with knowledge and understanding of the subjects, and
guide us in every extra-curricular activity but also help us to overcome
all the problems arising in a college student's life. Especially now,
during the war, these problems are many and varied. It is through the
friendly and helpful understanding of the faculty that these are
success-fully met. The faculty are morale boosters both for us and for
you in the service, to whom many of them are faithful letter writers.
Duty has called several members of the faculty away on leaves of absences
for the duration of the war. These include Dr. Lyle Brewer, Radar; Lieut.
Ramon T. George, U. S. Naval Reserve; Ensign Virginia Hawke, U. S. Naval
Reserve; Lieut. Robert B. Holtman, U. S. Army; Lieut. Alan Ross, U. S.
Naval Reserve; Lieut. Her-bert Ruckmick, U. S. Naval Reserve; Charles C.
Upshall, personnel work; Ruth Weythman, American Red Cross; and Major Paul
Woodring, U. S. Army. Two in-structors were welcomed back during 1944-45
from the service. Mr. Albert Van Aver, who has been serving as an
instructor in the college training detachment of the Army Air Corps, has
returned to teach in the English department. Dr. Merle S. Kuder, who
served as a lieutenant in the U. S. Naval Reserve, has resumed his duties
as WWC registrar. He has also begun a program of veteran counseling
designed to aid the returning veteran in his readjustment to homefront
life. So we see that in the classroom, in the services, and also in the
community, the WWC faculty are all out supporting the war effort. More than
that, they are study-ing, and planning for the betterment of the college.
Through their combined efforts, you service men and women will have a fine
progressive college to attend in the future. FACULTY MEMBERS NOT PICTURED

Dr. Paul R. Grim Director of Campus Schools For some time prior to the
formal dedication of the Elementary Campus School, May 7, 1942, students
and faculty alike were eagerly looking forward to its comple-tion. After
much careful planning and construction, when the problems of obtaining the
necessary materials had been met, the building was put in use during the
summer quarter of 1942, and has since become one-of the brightest marks of
progress here at WWC. Its modified Romanesque architecture harmonizes
with that of the library and physical education building. Inside, the
glowing pastel colors have been employed in decorating the rooms to make
them interesting and cheerful places for the children to work. The whole
building is laid out ih the class room unit plan, each unit consisting of
a main class room, a work room, a store room, and an office. Adequate
playrooms, and auditorium, nurse's unit, and executive offices, all the
result of intelli-gent planning, are also included in this building. The
campus school is the scene of much of the most important work done here at
WWC, some of the most valuable work being done on the home front, for it is
in this modern building that the juniors and degree students do their
student teaching. Aided by the modern facilities offered in the campus
school, students learn through practical, supervised experience how to
become efficient teachers who are so ur-gently needed these wartime days.
Here, too, is where you fellows and girls now in the service will receive
your training when you return to college. In every respect, the Campus
Elementary School, headed by the director, Dr. Grim, and a competent
teaching staff, is worthy of all the praise given it both by WWC'ers and
outsiders. The Campus Elementary School Building, which houses the most
modern educational facilities. Eleven

Junior-Senior class officers: Alice Marie Andersen, president; Iris
Bowden, vice president; Marge Sinnett, secretary. Junior - Senior Class
Being a college senior has a special significance and responsibility during
these war years, and since the three year war emergency certificate has
been provided to ease the shortage of teachers, the juniors share the
duties and interests of the seniors. So again this year the two classes
have been allied in the Junior-Senior class. The small number in the two
classes makes it even more imperative than ever that they gain the most
out of their courses and training. So with the task of be-coming
full-fledged teachers confronting them and occupying most of the
upper-classmen's time, many of the extra-curricular activities are left to
the freshmen and sophomores. Still, the members of this busy class
exercise their executive ability by serving as leaders of many of the
clubs and organizations around WWC, and their work is really the backbone
of the institution. This year it seems as if the girls held the gavels for
the class. Iris Bowden, a lively and peppy junior, led the class as
president with the amiable Alice Marie Andersen, WRA president, helping
along as vice prexy. Petite and lovely Marge Sinnett, a senior, doubly
served her class as secretary and gracious Queen Sigrid VII. Mrs. Orpha
Christenson of the physical education department helped the class through
another successful year as class adviser. Vivacious Margaret Moyer, and
that little bit of Sweden gal, Glennis Sundberg, both seniors, represented
the class as Homefront princesses. Also ,the most photo-genic coed was
chosen from the junior-senior class this year to rule over the 1945
Publications Prom. With her taffy colored hair and winning smile, Glennis
Sund-berg won the admiration of the men at Whidby Island Naval Base who
chose her to be the 1945 Prom princess. "Sunny" is the first senior girl
to be given this honor. Another star was added to the service flag when
Ruth Lauber, a senior, left to serve her country in the Waves after
earning her degree at WWC. In fact, many of the stars on the flag are for
fellows and gals who would now be members of this 1945 Junior-Senior class
if they had not called to duty in the armed forces. So, in addition to
making their contribution to the school, this class has made a great
contribution to its country. Its representatives are fighting both on the
battlefronts and here on the homefront, and their accomplishments will
long be remembered. Fourteen

Sophomore class took the lead in most of the extra- cur-ricular
activities. Positions which in prewar days, as you fellows in in the
service will re-member, belonged to the upperclassmen exclusively, were
filled with sophs while the juniors and seniors concentrated on their
student and degree teaching. Dale Burklund, when not in the science lab,
acted as president of the class and proved himself a capable and
enthusiastic leader for the sophs. Roy Wark, one of the stars of the
basketball team, filled the shoes of vice president. Another prominent
mem-ber of the class and winner of the freshman Scholarship cup last year,
Ann Easterbrooks, served as secretary, and Peggy Custer, one of the most
active sophomores, was treas-urer for the class. Dr. E. A. Bond of the
math department, always ready and willing to help, was the sophs' faculty
adviser. It was two members of the sophomore class, Marilyn Anderson and
Jettie McLane, who did the swell job of sponsoring the basektball games
with our competitors, the Cheney Savages, and the dances following the
games. Nineteen

influential in uncovering much hidden talent in the school with a
volunteer talent show under the chairmanship of Lucille Bovee, WWCol-legian
editor. As this proved successful, a second one was given in December,
with the theme "Winter Wonderland." Of the ten Prom princesses, two
reigned from the sophomore class; sweet and lovely Elaine Dahlgren, and
the talented dancer, Pat Gardiner. Merrie Virginia Eggers gave liberally
of her talent for dancing and acting, but left winter quarter to take a
position as a continuity writer for station KJR in Seattle. Another busy
participant on the soph class roll was Gerry Ludens, Klipsun editor and
member of the Scholarship society. During spring quarter two more
sophomores came into the spotlight as co-chairmen of the annual Campus
Day. Beverly McNally and Lloyd Jones, well qualified for this important
job because of their previous participation in numerous activities, were
placed in charge. Lloyd, along with Merrie Virginia Eggers and Charlotte
Samples, all sophs, will be remembered for the spirited job they turned
out as cheer leaders for the basketball season. As the sophs end their
second year on the campus, some will be looking forward to continuing
their teacher's training next year; others will be saying "so long" to the
college on the hill, but one thing is certain-none of them will forget the
happy hours of work and play spent here, and WWC will not forget them.

takes a back seat for anyone. In fact, until the war is over and you
returning veterans swell the enrollment in the other classes, the frosh
will continue to hold the upper hand on the WWC campus in activities and
politics, for they represent the majority of the student body. It is to
these incoming freshmen that the school looks each year for fresh talent,
new ideas, inspirations and accomplishments. The 1944-45 WWC Freshman class
con-tributed even more than their share along these lines and from the
very beginning proved to be a lively, energentic and ambitious class.
College life to the freshman as he entered this year perhaps did not prove
to be exactly what he expected. As time went by, however, he quickly
adjusted himself to the circumstances and began to take an active part in
the classes and activities. Under the guidance of Dr. Moyle Cederstrom of
the English department, and with Pitt White, a scholar and dramatic
artist, as president, the class got under way in the fall with a mixer in
the lounge that the whole school enjoyed. Martha Monaghan, the girl with
such a pleasing personality, was secretary, and Joy Elerding, quiet and
charming, served as vice president. Lovely Bernice Chatterton reigned from
the freshman class as Homefront princess, and this talented class also
walked away with first prize for their portrayal of the typical college
problems class in the Homefront skit competition. Margaret Keehn displayed
further frosh ability when she took the lead in the play, "Junior Miss,"
and many of the acts in the All College Revue were participated in by
freshmen. This class also contributed several of the most photogenic coeds
to rule over the Publications Prom. Joan Martinson from Edmonds, Betty
Peaster from Texas, Shirley Hartman, Irene Eiford, and Janet Brunswig, all
Bellingham gals, were princesses from the freshman class for the sixth
annual Prom. The majority of the men in school also were found in the
Freshman class, but as Uncle Sam still needs them, Chad Johnson, Haines
Fay, Bill Murray, and Ray Chapman left at intervals to join the worthy
cause. These boys were all part of our basketball team, and we hope they
will all be back in the near future along with all the rest of you service
guys and gals to play for us and with us again. Twenty-three

Board of Control Here at WWC we are proud of our student government
organizations, through which we exercise the democratic principles that
you fellows in the foxholes and on the sea are fighting to preserve for
us and for the world. All registered students of WWC are members of the
Associated Students of Western Washington College of Education, and have
the right to elect students to represent them on the Board of Control.
This group, the governing body of the ASB organization, is headed by an
enthusiastic junior from Bellingham, Doris Tedford, who was elected as
president of the Associated Students for the year 1944-45. Regularly every
Wednesday afternoon, in room 211, members of the Board ponder over and
discuss problems of general student concern and interest, solving them as
nearly as they can to the satisfaction of everyone. Members of the group
this year, other than the president, are Glennis Sundberg, vice president;
faculty advisers, Dr. Kangley, Dr. Bond, and Mr. Carver, along with six
student representatives. During the spring quarter of each year,
upperclassmen, nominated as candidates by petition or nominating
convention, vie for the honor of serving as president or vice president
for the coming term. With everyone supporting his favorite candidate, the
final choice is made through a secret student ballot. The candidates coming
out on top take over their new duties in the fall quarter. The other
members of the group change quarterly; as the term of some expire, newly
elected members take their places. Doris Tedford, capable president of the
Board, appoints committees, and pre-sides over meetings. If she is unable
to attend some meeting, Vice President Glennis Sundberg takes over the
duties. The Board of Control balances the students' activities budget,
providing money for each of the ASB activities such as music, dramatics,
athletics, WWCollegian, Klip-sun, and Associated Students' events. These
events include Campus Day and Home-front week-end. The Board choose a
chairman for the affair and helps plan and organ-ize the social events.
The management of the ever popular student lounge is also handled by the
Board. The members appoint lounge managers when necessary and buy new
records for the lounge every few weeks. When the students petitiond to
have the lounge open on Sat-urday nights, the Board gave its approval and
found a hostess. Yes, and when it comer to buying new furniture, supplies,
or repairing the nickel-odeon, it is the Board which decides what should
be ordered and sees to it that every-thing is in good working condition.
All in all, the Board of Control serves the school as a mouthpiece for the
entire student body, and through this organization worthwhile suggestions
and ideas df the students become realities. This type of local democracy
is helping our institution to progress, even now when enrollment is low.
Co-op Board The Co-op Board is a creation of the Board of Control, but it
works as an inde-pendent unit. It consists of two board members, two
student representatives, and Mr. Louis Earle, manager of the Co-op. The
Board makes the rules and regulations of the Co-op and handles any
problems that may arise concerning the management of the Co-op. It is to
the efforts of this active organization that we can attribute for the most
part the successful operation of the Co-op. The importance of the Board of
Control and Co-op Board is brought to light when you realize they control
the student activities and work for the benefit of the students of WWC.

Editor Gerry Ludens Business Manager Peggy Custer Klipsun Stepping closer
to the peacetime editions of the Klipsun is the larger book this year
which all of you requested. The thought which has remained uppermost in our
minds as we prepared this yearbook was continued progress now so we may
better meet the future. We have tried to look forward to the days ahead
when large numbers of you servicemen and women will be returning to our
campus to continue or to begin your college educations. We have attempted
to picture college life as it has been during 1944 and 1945, for in the
Klipsun a student finds his memory of college days. The Klipsun has
pictured college life as we all see it, and it also takes us behind the
scenes of many collegiate activities. The Klipsun tells another story,
too, one of joys and disappointments, and, mainly, of hard work. Gerry
Ludens, editor, and Peggy Custer, business manager, have spent long hours
planning and working in order that we may all have the story of our school
year in one book. Gerry has had to work with a small, inexperienced staff
and wrestle with deadlines, photographers, engravers and scores of other
people who have all presented their problems. Yet, Gerry has always kept
her winning smile and kept her grade point aver-age up to scholarship
level. During the Publications Prom, of which Gerry was one of the
co-chairmen, she worked long and willingly on the dance and still managed
to make the Klipsun deadline. Our editor deserves a four-star salute for
her quiet achievements which have been completed so well. Thirty-two

Peggy has always had to be budget-minded in order to get her expenses to
agree with the money she had to spend. All of us have many times seen Peg
running about in search of an alum, now in the service, to pose for a
Klipsun picture. Peggy has well earned her reputation of being one of the
friendliest and most reliable girls on the campus. She has always helped
whenever and wherever anyone needed her. Her picture schedules caused many
a headache, but now that they are all taken we know she forgives her
problem child, Jack Hayward, who gave liberally of his talents and time so
that all of us could have our pictures in the annual at least once.
Another photo-grapher who helped out a lot this year was Ray Clift.
Elaine Dahlgren did her share in taking charge of the end sheet and
division pages, which is a job in itself, while Char Samples took as her
specialty slogans and undercuts. Audreye Miller and Alice Smith proved to
be able assistants. Daisie Ann Earling, Peg's roomy, got caught with
endless details, and especially did a lot of copy writing. But despite
the worries and those discouraging days when it seemed the 1945 Klipsun
would never be ready to go to press, the completion of the book has brought
a feeling of satisfaction to those who prepared it for us. Top left:

WW Collegian Remember Friday mornings after assembly, when you see that
stack of Collegians lying in the hall? . . .Well, it is a small and
competent staff headed by Editor Lucille Bovee that is keeping the sheet
rolling off the presses right on schedule. A five-column paper was all
that the budget could afford this year, but with a lot of work on good
layouts and a few more cuts than usual, thanks to careful figuring on the
part of the business manager, Marilyn Anderson, the staff kept the
Collegian as interesting as possible, not only for the students here at
school but for the hundreds of former students now in the service who
receive the paper every week. Editor Lucille Bovee Page Editors: Left to

Page editors shifted around quite a bit this year so that more people had
the opportunity to handle type and plan their own pages. Feature editors
were: Merrie Vir-ginia Eggers, Catherine Anderson, and Charlotte Samples.
Dale Burklund, Cale Campbell, George Jurgens, Clarie Marshall, Stuart
Currie and Roger Nelson put out the sports page, while Peggy Custer stuck
to the Woman's page all year, assisted during winter quarter by Ettu
Loring. The students and staff members, in cooperation with Mrs. Ruth
Burnet, publications adviser, and other faculty members, kept an up to
date column concerning news of former students now in the service, and ran
it under the title of "GI Jive." The staff maintained its first class
honor rating as it has for the past few years and will keep right on
maintaining it until the war is over and the on-rollment again goes up.

MISS LORRAINE POWERS "To strengthen the loyalty and good fellowship among
the women students; to develop cooperation between the student body and
administrators; to encourage high ideals and social standards" is the
purpose and aim of the Associated Women Students, an organization which
enfolds all the women in the school. This year it began its calendar of
activities with a flourish fall quarter by welcoming the incoming fresh-men
wth a jolly ice breaker in the form of a kid party. To help boost the
morale of our fighting men and women, the AWS sponsored cider sales, told
fortunes with apples, and presented the Mardi Gras in order to con-tribute
money to the fund that enables each former student now in the service to
re-ceive his copy of the WWCollegian regularly. So you fellows over there
who enjoy reading the weekly news and gossip from your alma mater can
extend your vote of thanks to these hard working members of the AWS. As
of old this organization again staged a high school leaders' conference.
Under the direction of Betty Ann Groger, the AWS welcomed representatives
from sixteen high schools in Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties in
late February. Although only 90 girls were expected, over 100 participated
in the campus tours, group discus-sions, and attended the tea and fashion
show held in Edens hall blue room. Through the work of the AWS these high
school girls got a glimpse of what college life is all about. Anchored in
the memoirs of WWC for this year will be a bright picture of this active
Associated Women Students organization. Harriett Clow, president, piloted
the group as it sailed through a sea of successful activities. Harriett's
dark beauty and winning smile won her recognition in other fields as well,
for she was one of the ten lovely prom princesses. Her sparkling
personality, together with her many activities, won her a place in "Who's
Who." With this well-qualified senior at the wheel, AWS traveled a
straight and true course during 1944-45 and was a great service to WWC.

life, WWC's men's organization, the Norsemen, re-gains a hold in campus
politics. Disregarding the fact that men have been in the minority the last
few years here at WWC, this organization, open to all the men in school,
has continued to function and serve the college in the same spirit as in
pre-war days. With Paul Foster as president and Dr. Wilbur Dutton as
adviser, the Norsemen started the proverbial ball a'rollin' fall quarter
with an informal dance in the junior high gym. With Hallowe'en setting the
theme for the decorations, the Norsemen and their guests were greeted with
spooks and ghosts which lurked among the pumpkins and cornstalks. Doc
Chase and his orchestra provided the music for the gala event. Under the
careful planning of Chairman Don Neal, a senior from Bellingham, this
dance, the first informal of the school year, was stamped a great success
by everyone attending. During the fall quarter and the remainder of the
year, the Norsemen co-operated with the other clubs by aiding with
assemblies, basketball games, and "rec" hours. In February, the Norsemen,
as in previous years, chose the twenty primary contestants for prom
princesses. In the spring, the Norsemen's attentions turn to their annual
cruise, which climaxes the club's social activities for the year. On
Sunday, May 13, members of this organ-ization and their invited guests
boarded the SSS Activian for a day of cruising, hiking, and just plain
enjoyment. The Norsemen president is Paul Foster, a likeable soph hailing
from Puyallup and active in campus affairs. Paul has been a prominent
member of the basketball squad for the past two years, serving as captain
for a part of the season. Dr. Wilbur Dutton, a new faculty member this
year, took over the reins as ad-viser to the men's organization upon his
advent to the staff. Dr. Dutton has greatly aided the club through his
deep, friendly interest in its success and his understanding of people.

Clubs and organizations on the campus have always afforded a profitable way
for the student to spend some of his spare time, and have been influential
in making WWC what it is-a lively, up-and-coming college. Friendly hands
are extended to the in-coming freshmen each year, and they are invited to
join in the fun and work of the well-rounded extra-curricular activity
program here at WWC. With decreased enrollment, the membership of the
clubs naturally has been limit-ed, and the work of keeping things going at
top speed as before has fallen on the shoulders of the busy few.
Discouragement has crept in occasionally throughout the year when the
going became a little rough, but the organizations have kept function-ing.
In spite of wartime curtailments and shortages, the traditional events such
as the Publications Prom, the Norsemen's informal, and many others were put
over success-fully. The clubs have worked to preserve the old spirit of
the school so familiar to you fellows and girls in the services. More than
that, they have added progressive ideas, too, hoping to make the college
you return to just a little bit better than the one you left. Below we
catch Peggy Custer, busy women's page editor for the Collegian, in an
industrious mood as she sur-veys her work in the typewriter. In the left
hand corner, Helen Dwelle and Joan Haggard strike a pose typical of the

Graduation GRADUATION - that once in a lifetime event - holds the same
thrill, the same suspense, the same dignity, in this wartime year of 1945
as did the prewar variety. Though the group is smaller and more
exclusively feminine than it was prior to 1941 or will be when all you
fellows are back to receive your diplomas along with us, it is still he
highlight in every college student's career. It is the day when we step
out to really face life on our own, to meet the world, shake hands with
it, and discover what it has to offer. You know, we all feel pretty grown
up by the time we reach college. A little impa-tient, perhaps, to be
absolutely independent. Still, on graduation day when that oppor-tunity of
going out on our own has really presented itself, it is the rare graduate
indeed who doesn't stand, diploma in hand, and feel a lump of loneliness
rising in his throat. Most of us give one backward glance at the college
life we are leaving and maybe wish, just a little, that we could trade
places with some of the underclassmen who on this oc- casion look up at us
with congratulations shining in their eyes. This year we grads, attired in
the traditional collegiate garb of caps and gowns, and the juniors going
out to teach on war emergency certificates or the three year elementary
certificates, filed sedately down the walk to drop our identification cards
under the marker, 1945. Our most earnest thought and prayers were with our
classmates in the service, who, although they are far away from the WWC
campus on this graduation day, will be back, come the day of victory, to
receive their diplomas. 1945 GRADUATION SCHEDULE Sunday, June

HOMEFRONT ROYALTY Glennis Sundberg, senior princess; Barbara teHennepe,

senior princess; Bernice Chatterton, freshman princess Homefront Week-End
Welcome back! With this theme underlying the weekend's activities, co-
chairmen Barbara teHennepe and Herb Witt and their committee heads and
members carried on the Homecoming tradition of welcoming back WWC's
graduates, when they staged a successful second annual Homefront weekend,
November 17-19. The program got under way with the coronation of Queen
Sigrid VII in the spe-cial Homefront assembly, Friday. Marjorie Sinnett
was chosen Queen Sigrid VII by the members of the basketball team. Her four
princesses, who reigned over all -he festivities, were: seniors, Margaret
Moyer and Glennis Sundberg; sophomore, Barbara teHennepe, and freshman,
Bernice Chatterton. Friday evening the Division of Drama presented the
initial performance of the Pent-house play, "Junior Miss," in the Edens
Hall Blue Room. Further emphasizing the Homefront theme, the luncheon in
the Edens Hall dining room with traditional blue and white decorations
highlighted Saturday's activities. Frank M. Brock, assistant
superintendent of Seattle schools, was the main speaker, intro- duced by
ASB President Doris Tedford, who presided over the luncheon. Smiling
Marjorie Sinnett ruled over the 1944-45 Homefront celebration Forty-five

A matinee performance of the Junior Miss production in the Blue Room
immediate-ly followed the luncheon. Hoping for a victory and promising a
good game, the WWC Vikings met the UBC quintet Saturday night at 8:00 on
our home floor. Captained by veteran Paul Foster, an all star team took to
the maple floor the first quarter. During the game a balance of the squad
saw action, and at the final whistle the Vikings were leading, 60-57. The
rooting sections were well filled with WWC students who before game time
had staged a ser-pentine and bonfire pep rally. Their enthusiasm was equal
to that shown by Viking fans at former Homecoming football games. An
all-student dance in the lounge after the basketball game ended the
activities of the weekend-a weekend of reunion and of recalling times that
are gone-a week-end dedicated to those fellows and girls who've
temporarily given up their sweaters and skirts, saddles and cords, for a
khaki or blue uniform-a weekend dedicated to WWC's former students
determinedly fighting today, so that tomorrow we can have a real
Homecoming. Left: The royal court, masculine variety Below: Enthusiastic

Victor H. Hoppe, dramatic coach Junior Miss With the whispered direction,
"You're on!", thirteen members of the Junior Miss cast made their first
appearance in the Edens Hall Blue Room Thursday evening, November 16.
Presented by the Division of Drama, this penthouse production was one of
the fea-tured attractions of the Homefront Weekend. Repeat performances
were given Friday evening and Saturday afternoon following the luncheon to
large and appreciative audiences. Margaret Keehn, freshman, played the
leading role of Judy, a vivacious 13-year-old. Her interpretation of Judy,
whether she was practicing her "Yogi" or engineering her Uncle Willis's
love life, was very convicing. Patsy Cooper as Fuffy, did a superb ;ob as
Judy's "slap-happy" best friend. Fuffy, a flouncing blonde, was a constant
source of annoyance to patient and long suffering Mr. Graves, played by
Pitt White. Marilyn Wike, as Mrs. Graves, was a tolerant mother who tried
to soothe her husband's frustrations resulting from his two daughters'
actvities. Persis Reynolds as Lois, sixteen, was a very sophisticated woman
of the world with lots of boy friends. Merlin Reeck as Tommy Arbuckle was
one of these fellows so entranced by Lois's charms. The one person who
managed the Graves family, and especially Judy's appetite, was Hilda, the
Scandinavian maid, ably played by Ethel Martinson. Other members of the
cast were J. B. Curtis, portrayed by Don Neal. He was a friend of the
Graves family and a typical business man, inclined to be sarcastic, and
disapproving vehemently of his daughter Ellen's marriage to Uncle Willis,
Bob Searl. At the beginning of the play, Ellen, played by Jo Ann Elwell,
looked like an old maid secretary, but falling in love transformed her into
a contentedly lovely person. Al-fred Clement as Fuffie's brother, Barlow,
was a "Mamma said this" boy. Alfred also was the voice of the Western Union
messenger. Lloyd Jones as Haskell Cummings, Jr., played the son of a big
business man. His bashfulness and "de rigeur" trouble was forgotten when
in the last scene he escorted Judy to the New Year's Eve party. The
top-notch performance of this well-chosen cast well evidenced the capable
direction of Victor H. Hoppe, dramatic coach, and Shirley Olson, student
director. Forty-sevea

All College Revue The All-College Revue was presented to the public during
winter quarter of this year. Students from the whole school participated
in this production. Dr. Cederstrom and Mr. Hoppe directed the show, and
Mr. Bushell arranged the excellent musical background. The scenery and prop
committees had a great deal to do with the success of the show, and the
Valks were responsible for the efficient ushering. "My Sweet Little Alice
Blue Gown," with Persis Reynolds on the solo and a costumed dancing chorus
as a background introduced the program for the evening. The Sultan of
Sulu, portrayed with huge success by Alfred Clement, held sway over his
harem of hula girls and tropical island and gave two of his beautiful
wives away to a couple of shipwrecked sailors who apparently didn't have
any objection. Bill Johnson, our own Hoagy Carmichael, gave out with a
short interlude of solid,in-the-groove boogie-woogie, "oh boy, you really
send me." Three Scotch lassies, complete with kilts and bagpipe
accompaniment, rendered a true-to-life Highland Fling. Back to the Gay
Nineties for a costumed rendition of the "Trolley Song," Virginia Pendleton
was real-ly in the spirit with "her high starched collar and her
high-topped shoes, her hair piled high upon her head." A short
intermission was made enjoyable with excerpts from "Showboat," played by
the school orchestra under the direction of Beverly Baylor. Perfect timing
and practiced grace made a beautiful portrait in blue as Pat Gardiner and
Marge Sinnett did a short ballet number. A band of Negro evangelists came
on the scene next with a typi-cal Sunday afternoon picnic, complete with
Negro spiritualists from a harmony chorus and Negro brass band. "Rhythm On
Wheels," with Crystal Ackerman doing unimaginable stunts on roller skates
and a pair- skating act under the lights brought applause from the
audience. A one-act play, staged in the office of a doctor for the
insane-the theft of a valuable string of pearls-innocent people going
nuts-all added to the evening's suspense and entertainment. The finale
had a striking, colorful cabaret setting, complete with a singing waiter,
half-caste vocalist, native dancer, a memorable Rhum-ba group, Pitt White
and Betty Peaster in a perfectly matched tango, and a Conga line as a
grand finish. Forty-eight

Scenes from last year's Campus Day Campus Day Offices and classrooms were
deserted and lonely Wednesday, May 9, as both faculty and students forgot
books and lectures to enjoy one of the oldest WWC traditions, the annual
Campus Day. This year two special city busses solved the transportation
difficulties. For the duration, the trek to Lakewood has been postponed,
but who says we can't have a good time in the same old spirit at Whatcom
Falls park? This year it was decreed that on May 8, the day just preceding
Campus Day, each and every student who attended WWC would be required to
comply with the "Hard Times" laws. On this day the girls were to wear
their oldest, most decrepit clothing, no make-up what-soever, and
positively no bobby pins in their hair. The males were ordered to don
their most dilapidated clothes and their hair had to be worn combed down
on their foreheads in true Ish-Kabibble style. Woe be to anyone who didn't
obey and lacked a legitimate excuse such as student teaching. So rag bags
were invaded, glamour discarded, and oh, what results! To start Campus Day
off right, an assembly was held at 9:30 in the morning during which every
organized club, class, and house gave their all to make their skit the
best of the lot. The next stop was the park, where such old-time
activities as the sack, potato, three-legged, wheel-barrow, and costume
races were featured. The good old baseball diamond wasn't ignored, either.
Barbara Caldwell and Gene Sivertson did a swell job as co- chairmen of the
games. Then after a day of just plain fun topped off with delicious food,
the WWC'ers returned to the campus for the evening's entertainment.
Co-chairmen for the event were sophomores Lloyd Jones and Beverly McNally.
To them and their hard-working committees goes the credit for a topnotch
wartime Campus Day that will long be remembered. Forty-nine

WWC upperclassmen outstanding in their scholarship, activities, and
all-around contrbutions to the college, are honored in the annual
publication, "Who's Who in American Colleges." A committee comprised of
two faculty members and four stu-dents decides which individuals deserve
this coveted recognition. This year we have twelve such honored students
in our midst. Senior Harriett Clow from Vancouver, Washington, made news
at WWC through her work as 1944-45 AWS president, Valkyrie president for
1944, member of the AWS commission for two years, and ACE member. Last
year she juggled figures as Klipsun business manager, coming out in front.
Harriet combines her efficiency with a charm and friendliness that placed
her as one of the prom princesses in 1944 and again in 1945. Coming from
Bremerton to WWC, Glennis Sundberg has served as vice president of the
student body and president of ACE. Fall quarter found this busy senior
repre-senting her class as a princess in Queen Sigrid's court during
Homefront celebration. Then, "Sunny," petite and lovely, came into the
limelight once again as the sixth an-nual prom princess this winter. Ruby
Stroebel, from Anacortes, Washington, is one of the industrious inhabitants
of Harborview. Among her activities we find WRA, ACE, and Blue Triangle,
of which she was president last year. In her spare time, Ruby's interests
lean to the artistic side, as shown in the characteristic picture on the
opposite page. Joyce Ackley, a Bellngham gal, numbers among her activities
WRA cabinet, AWS commission, ACE, Blue Triangle secretary, and chairman of
the WSSF drive for 1944-45. Ask this brownette what her preferences are
and she quickly answers, a man in navy blue, cherry pie a la mode, and a
good long hike. "Ama," officially known as Alice Marie Andersen, is a lass
who greets everyone with a ready smile. A born leader, "Ama" was WRA
vice-president last year and prexy for 1944-45, a member of the Board of
Control, and vice president of her class during both her sophomore and
junior years. Athletics come first on her list and, being versatile, she
likes all kinds. June Shomshak, a tall, blue-eyed blonde from
Sedro-Woolley, won her recognition through quiet, dependable, and
efficient work. She is a member of Valkyrie, AWS chair-man of war
activities, Blue Triangle cabinet member, member of WRA, and vice
presi-dent of Vanadis Bragi. Original in her choice of hobbies, she turns
to the literary, for writing poetry and collecting books take up her spare
time. Cheryl Smith, from Seattle, was chosen this year by her fellow
Edenites to govern the dorm as president. Members of Valkyrie also were
aware of Cheryl's administrative ability, for they handed the gavel of the
organization to her during 1944-45. She has been chairman of the Co-op
Board for the past two years and during the 1943 Home-front celebration
was a junior princess. Besides a genuine interest in all school affairs,
this senior harbors an enthusiastic liking for music. Virginia Sorgenfrei
has really gathered a basketful of activities during her college career.
Included among these are: AWS secretary, Valkyrie secretary, ACE, Board of
Control, WRA, chairman of freshman opening week, and numerous other
activities. Her willingness to cooperate and her enthusiastic hard working
ability have won her recogni-tion among her fellow students and faculty
members as well. It is easily understood where tall, stately Marie Eines
gains her name of "Queenie." In 1943 she graciously ruled over the
Homefront celebration as Queen Sigrid VI. This year Marie served as
general sports manager for WRA and swung the presidential gavel for the
same organization last year. Ketchikan, Alaska, is home to this girl, who
is an-other sports enthusiast. Junior Mildred Spromberg, "Midge" to her
friends, plans to return to WWC next year to receive her degree. "Midge"
has served as president of Interclub Council, pres-ident of Blue Triangle,
Alkisiah member, and a member of the WRA cabinet. Decora-tions for any
social affair are her specialty, and drawing her hobby. Doris Tedford, a
Bellinghamite, has ably served as 1944-45 ASB president. Her co-operation
and helpfulness are well known to everyone here at WWC. Besides leading
the college in all of its activities this year, Doris was a AWS commission
member for 1944, is president of the Scholarship Society and a member of
Valkyrie. Add to these an active musical interest and you have a brief
sketch of our ASB prexy. Ruth Mclnnes is another WWC'er whose main outside
interest is music, for she often entertains as a vocal soloist. Ruth comes
to WWC from Burlington, and has been active in ACE, WRA, and orchestra
during her college years. Prior to her spring student teach-ing, Ruth
could be often found working behind the circulation desk in the libe.

Publications Prom PROM PRINCESS GLENNIS SUNDBERG Lovely Glennis
Sundberg, senior from Brem- - erton, reigned graciously over the 1945
Publications Prom. 5'4", charming, blue eyed Glennis has long taffy
colored hair, a winning smile, and an enviable com-plexion. Navy men from
Whidby made the wise choice. All this is not new to "Sunny," however,
because she was one of the princesses at Home Front this year. 'Mid
cupids and hearts, students, faculty, guests from Whidby Island, county
editors, high school principals, publications advisers, alums and other
invited guests danced to the tunes of the Whidby Island High Flyers Band
on February 24. Lovely Glennis Sundberg, senior from Bremerton, was
crowned princess of the sixth annual Publications Prom during a broadcast
over KVOS. Until that time no one knew which of the ten princess
candidates was to wear the crown. The traditional Valentine theme was
followed in the decorations, and large cupids, small hearts with couples'
names in them, and heart-spattered newspapers were fea-tured. Soft blue
spotlights provided atmosphere for this setting. The programs were red
quilted satin hearts with gathered lace edges. During the grand march,
which was led by Princess Glennis and her escort, guests contributed to
the fund for sending a newsletter to service men and women. Fifty-two

IRENE EIFORD-Sparkling hazel eyes and dark brown hair are but two of frosh
Irene's charms. This sweet candidate, noted for her lovely smile, is a
native of Bellingham. BETTY PEASTER - This brown- haired, hazel-eyed
Texan comes to WWC from Dallas. Betty's charming talk and sun-ny smile
have won her a host of friends. JOAN MARTINSON - Wavy brown hair and
smiling blue eyes are this freshman's assets. Joan, quiet, charming, is
5'2 1/" and claims Edmonds for her home town. Prom Princesses HARRIETT
CLOW - 5' 7" of brunette beauty is this busy junior from Van-couver.
Harriett is known to all for her charming and gracious manner and calm,
ready smile. ELAINE DAHLGREN-"Sweet and love-ly" describes this
sophomore to a "T". Elaine is 5'2" and has dark brown eyes and brown
hair. Mount Vernon claims this active co-ed-and mighty proudly, too.
JANET BRUNSWIG-Blonde, tall, Janet is always poised. This Bellingham
fresh-man can be found diligently working in the science lab just any old
time. MARJORIE SINNETT-Marj is the senior from Seattle whose brown hair
and shining blue eyes won her the title of Queen Sigrid VII last fall.
She touches 5'2", and is active in school affairs. SHIRLEY
HARTMAN-Flashing blue eyes and dark hair are the property of this
freshman who calls Bellingham home. PAT GARDINER - Talented, lovely Pat
has brown eyes, brown hair and loads of vitality. A sophomore from
Bellingham, she is very efficient as AWS social chair-man. Fifty-three

The Student Lounge The lilting strains of the latest popular tunes, the
plop-plop of the ping-pong balls, the victorious cry of a student who
finally won a game of solitaire, and the shuffling of dancing feet are the
characteristic noises floating up from the student lounge. Our student
lounge is the main gathering place of the students of WWC between classes
and in those few free hours we can sandwich into our schedules. Lovely
blond tables with glass tops, red leather seats, matching drapes all give
the room a really collegiate air. A big Nick featuring all the latest
tunes is constantly at work from I I a. m. to 4:30 p. m. Every Saturday
Mrs. Stearns, chaperoned by Rex, the Hospice body-guard, is our love-ly
lounge hostess from 9 until midnight. A few brave, studious souls find a
compara-tively quiet corner table and do a little studying occasionally,
but other people don't know how they do it. For the typical lounge lizard
there is pinochle, cribbage, poker, piffle, and then there are solitaire
players-they never give up. For a good show by the star athletes one can
always pull up a chair and watch the energetic ping-pong players. Eyes to
the left-eyes to the right-back and forth, forth and back-one good way to
ruin your eyes- but it's more fun than studying. Altogether, though, the
lounge is certainly one of the greatest democratic factors in our school.
The Student Lounge is one place you fellows seem to head for when a
well-earned leave or furlough sends you hurrying back. Many of you were in
on the beginnings of the project and saw your plans develop into reality.
Now we have dreams about the post-war lounge and, in the meantime, we are
adding all the possible improvements. So don't forget, anytime you have a
spare minute, we'll be seeing you in the Student Lounge. Snaps of the
Student Lounge, the place where WWC'ers relax in their spare moments

Studes gather around war bond booth in main hall to invest what Barbara
teHennepe and Mary Louise Burke gaze thoughtfully at they can in America's
future. our impressive service flag of which we are justly proud. War
Activities War activities of WWC are most noticeable in the outstanding
representation our school has in the Armed Forces. Army Air Forces, Navy
Air Corps, Navy, Army, Marines, WAC, WAVES, SPARS, and Army Nurses' Corps,
all have former members of the student body. We have a beautiful reminder
of our outstanding part in the war effort, for a large service flag in
honor of these young men and women hangs in our lower main hall, with
three hundred eighteen blue stars and twenty-nine gold stars on a field of
white. Those thirty-one gold stars represent thirty of our men and one
woman who made the supreme sacrifice for their country and our right to
live in free-rom and enlightenment. The impressive service flag was
presented to the school by the Associated Women Students and is kept up by
them. In school there is a war activities committee, of which June
Shomshak is the AWS representative and Betty Anderson is the representative
from the Associated Student Body. On regular days of the month war stamps
are sold in the stamp booth in the main hall of the Administration
building. War stamps are also sold regularly in the Campus School and in
the Edens Hall dining room. During the year, at different times, apples
with fortunes were sold to raise money for sending the WWCollegian, a great
morale builder, to our boys in the service. During fall quarter,
contributions were taken for the China War Relief under the sponsorship
of Blue Triangle. Edens Hall girls have sponsored two Open House Sunday
afternoons for the enjoyment of the service men in this vicinity, and
during winter quarter an extensive Red Cross drive was accomp-lished.
These activities have all been entered into wholeheartedly and one hundred
per cent by the student body and have all in their way contributed to the
national war effort. Fifty-five

Organized Houses Home is where you hang your hat, and home to many
students here at WWC is one of the several organized houses located on or
near the campus. Let's take a quick glance at these. HOSPICE INN-Located
across from the library, houses part of the Norsemen. Mr. and Mrs. George
Stearns are the owners, Rex the mascot. We've heard stories about the hula
dances at house meetings. The "Inners" sponsored a highly successful party
at the Cedar Chest, south of Bellingham. DANIELS-Just down the hill on
High street, is the only other house for men. Daniels, too, had a dinner
party at which Dr. Moyle Cederstrom told his mystery stories and stole the
show. Miss Amber Daniels is the housemother. HARBORVIEW-A block down the
campus, has a lovely view and excellent loca-tion. Here live some
industrious girls who keep house for themselves, and Mrs. Ziegler sees to
it that they don't work too hard. RAGANS-Situated opposite the campus on
High street, is the home of about half a dozen co-eds. Mr. and Mrs. E. F.
Ragan are proud of the homey, friendly at-mosphere which prevails among
their group. EDENS-Home at one time or another to thousands of girls, is
WWC's sole dormitory. Here a hundred girls live in harmony, with never a
dull moment. Mrs. Jane Spratley, Miss Lorraine Powers, or Miss Mary
Williams will testify to that, for they are the ones who have guided us
through this year. Cheryl Smith served as president, and the other officers
change quarterly. Fifty-six

Two of our yell leaders, Charlotte Samples and Merrie Virginia Eggers, in
one of their rare "not so peppy" moods. Keeping the school spirit as it
used to be and backing up our Viking five this year was one of the best
yell teams WWC has seen in a long time. Charlotte Samples, Merrie Virginia
Eggers, and Lloyd Jones put everything they had into making the root-ing
section back the team, not only when they were on the go, points ahead-but
also when they were fighting a tough and losing battle. Char Samples, a
brown-haired sophomore from Snohomish with a vital interest in and
knowledge of the game, made an attractive and able cheer leader. Acrobat
of the trio was M. V. Eggers-and her specialty was the old locomotive.
Those back bends on the first chorus and those splits at the end never
failed to bring a roar of applause for this vivacious brunette sophomore
from Seattle. Sparkplug for the team, everyone will agree, was friendly,
blond Lloyd Jones. The kid put every ounce of energy he had into leading,
and if you don't believe me, you should have seen him after a game-a
physical wreck who sounded faintly like Andy Devine. No matter how tough
the going got, though, Lloyd was willing and able to get out on the floor
and get that crowd to "raise the roof." It's students like these three who
will keep WWC and a Viking team going full speed until you all come back
again. Coach "Lappy" gives the team a few important pointers on the game.
Lloyd Jones, yell leader, lets go with all he's got to back the team with
spirited yelling Fifty-seven

Basketball Although the 1944-45 edition of the Western Washington College
basketball team didn't notch many wins in the victory column throughout
the season, it did prove to be a tough foe for many college and service
quintets. To start the season, Coach Lappenbusch had only Gene Sivertson,
Roy Wark, Paul Foster, Jim Gilday, and Dale Burklund as returning
lettermen. Wark and Sivert-son proved to be the prolific scorers of the
squad, with 192 and 186 points, respective-ly. Foster started out
brilliantly, but suffered a broken hand midway in the season, which put
him out of action. Gilday and Burklund were used sparingly as reserves. To
back up these men came a fine crop of freshmen, led by Bob Pavlicek, Jack
Graham, Chad Johnson, Bill Murray, Murray Stanley, Ray Chapman, and Haines
Fay. From this squad, "Lappy" made up a starting five that was destined to
give many a team a hard battle: Roy Wark, Jack Graham, Gene Sivertson, Bob
Pavlicek, and Chad Johnson. WWC started the basketball season with a bang
this year and caught the eye of the townspeople as well as the college
when they tripped the UBC quintet by a score of 60-56, bringing the
Homefront weekend for 1944 to a fitting climax. One of the local
businessmen described the battle in these words, "They may have had
classier outfits up at that college, but that was the fastest game I have
ever seen." After starting brilliantly, the Viks faltered in mid- season,
only to regain their stride in the Cheney series, with the Vitamin kids
outplaying the highly- touted visitors. Next came the Pat Bay Fliers of
Victoria, Canadian Dominion champs, and then the Sand Point Navaliers.
This encounter, the final home game for the Viks, proved to be a thriller
as WWC unleashed unsuspected power in downing the Fliers, 70-57. This was
the greatest shooting spree of the season for the Viks. The last home game
of the season was also the conclusion of the winning streak for WWC. With
high hopes, the team met the University of Washington Huskies, but
couldn't quite succeed in knocking their rivals from their perch. The
Vikings' next jaunt was to Eastern Washington, where they really faced a
tough schedule. Failing to break into the win column again, the Westerns
nevertheless showed the teams over the mountains that, war or no war, WWC
had a real basketball team this year. A team which, with a little more
luck, would have been right up there in front and one which did produce
more than its share of thrills and individual performances during the
season. BASKETBALL TEAM Wark, Fay, Pells, Sivertson, Chapman, Graham,

PENDLETON Adviser ........... MRS. ORPHA CHRISTENSON Girls' sports played
an important part on the campus this year, compensating for the lack of
football, baseball, and track teams. Headed by Alice Marie Andersen, the
Women's Recreation Association gave a lot of girls and their friends good
times as usual. Each quarter WRA held an initiation tea in the Edens Hall
Blue room, where many new freshmen and older girls joined with the old
members, anticipating the hours of fun to come. Another quarterly event
was a sports party in the gym-you could do anything your heart desired
there-swim, play basketball, swing a badminton racket -any other
suggestions? WRA CABINET B. Anderson, Eines, Kosola, Eg-gers, Pendleton.

Modern Dancing, Badminton Archery, Fencing, Basketball Probably the most
important event on the WRA social calendar was the big an-nual WRA
carnival in the Junior high school gym following the "U" of Washington
game. Then during spring quarter came the high school girls' Sport Day. A
lot of college girls participated, and it looked as if they had as much
fun as the high school girls. Of course, there were several trips to
Sinclair Island, and this year WRA spon-sored horseback riding, from the
stables at Whatcom Falls park. Fall quarter there were volley ball and
badminton turnouts. During the winter basketball, badminton and bowling
were featured. Spring brought the usual number of tennis rackets out, and
the baseball diamond attracted several girls' softball teams. Climaxing
spring and, in fact, the whole year's activities was the Blue Barnacles
sponsored swim meet on April 20. Even though there were only a few entries,
every-one who took part had a good time and gave the spectators many
laughs. During the year Mrs. Orpha Christenson of the physical education
department, acting as adviser, gave prexy Alice Marie Andersen and her
cabinet lots of friendly and valuable advice. WRA cabinet members are
Nell Kosola, vice president; Iris Bowden, secretary; Virginia Pendleton,
treasurer; Betty Anderson, social chairman; Marie Eines, general sports
manager; Joyce Ackley, volley ball ; Mildred Spromberg, riding ; Beverly
Mor-gan, mixed rec; Ethel Martinson, badminton ; Helen Kaiser, baseball;
Martha Graves, bowling; Barbara teHennepe, outing chairman; and Crystal
Ackerman, Blue Barnacles president. You see - WRA girls' sports did play
an important part in the campus activities this year - and it will
continue to furnish good times for WWC girls. Sixty-one

President Truman at 6 a. m. PWT Tuesday, May 8, marked the most important
milestone thus far reached on the road to total victory. It was not a day
of hilarious celebration. The great news was received thoughtfully and
prayerfully here at WWC as it was over the entire nation. On this historic
day we paid special respects to our gold star men and women, and with
renewed determination turned back to the unfinished task lying before us.
