Like the time you thought you'd flunked the test and got it back with a nice, big A, or the. day a whole corner of the lounge became embroiled in a discussion of politics. And every other minor event which now comes back to us as clearly as if it had happened only yesterday. 2 DE In this year DIC ATIO of international crisis, the editorial staff of this yearbook dedicates the of Grays 1-1: arbor r951 Nautilus to the students College who are fighting in far fields to pre­ serve our ideals of democracy. to the N memory of Especially do we pay tribute those who have given all that was theirs to give in preserving these ideals. 3 HALL L.

They decided to form a men's service club, one which would aid in various neces­ sary areas around the school. The charter members chose as their name, "Toppers", and as the official club insignia, a black top hat on a background of crossed canes. The charter members were Don Mason, Doug Mason, Arnold Jones, Paul O'Leary, Pat Hopper, Bob Strom, Norm Fenton, Joe Colistro, Don Furu, and Louie Bogdanovich. This year the organization began its activities by inducting a pledge group of sixteen men, and a dinner-dance was given honoring the group. During football season the Toppers took over concessions at the home games and aided in various other ways the management of the contests. During basketball season the club acted as doormen and ushers. As arms, the Korea situation progressed, almost a dozen of the members answered the call to and are now serving in almost all areas of the world. It was decided to continue the club even though many members were in the armed forces. This year's officers are: man, Mr. secretary; Ted Dale, Don Mason, president; Don Furu, vice-president; Kenny Traut­ treasurer; Basil Sandstrom, scribe; Don Weisel, sergeant-at-arms.

The cry, "Hot off the presses", was not familiar to the 1950-51 "Timberline staff, instead it be­ ·a me, "Hot off the typewriter. " This year's "Timberline", although it upheld the policies and stand­ nrds of precious "Timberlines", changed from a printed newspaper to a mimeographed form of publi­ . cation. From a mediocre start, the "Timberline" progresses rapidly, in both appearance and interest, to glve "Chokerville" an up-to-the-minute account of what happened to "who", "where", "what", "wh n", and "why?"

DRAMAT I C S The drama department completed its third year under the direction of Mrs. Grace Gorton Peck with a record number of hits providing entertainment for the entire Harbor area. The opening produc­ tion, "The Man Who Came To Dinner", a three-act satirical comedy by George Kaufman and Moss Hart, was presented in the Miller Auditorium on November 16 and 18. The winter offering was of the same high dramatic quality, but somewhat heavier theatrical ' fare. "The Glass Menagerie", a two-act memory play by Tennessee Williams was presented on March 2 nnd 3. Told in the heart-warming, real-life style of Williams, the emotional drama had a warm r ' cption from local theater patrons. The season was completed with the presentation of "Over 21" by Ruth Gordon as the spring qu trt •rs •lection. 34 left �lice Coronation ot sembly: Homecoming Queen at as­ Parade downtown; left to right, Nikki Christiansen, Betty Cavers, Nikki Mary Boyer, Queen Nancy, Sally Rose.

Assistant Coach George Palo developed one of the hardest fighting lines in the league. Captain Darrell Everett, at a guard position, was the spearhead of the line with all-conference honors. The backfield was small, but fast. Don Holm, the other all-conference player, formed in great style at per­ the left-half­ back position. Pre-season predictions were that Grays Harbor would once again be one of powers of the league. the This prediction didn't hold form as Grays Harbor finish­ ed with a 3-3- I record, but stood fourth in the final standings. GAME SUMMARIES: Grays Harbor 2-------Clark-------13: The opening game against Clark Junior College was a bad start for the Chokers, with the final score finding the local players on the short end of it. Mosley scored twice for the Penquins with the Choker points coming as a result of a safety by Hennessey and Everett. 42 FRONT BACK ROW, left to right: ROW: Jim Dodson, Jim Robeck, Norm Fenton, John Jacklich, Bob Schlegel.

Olympic Opening the season, without a single practice game, against the Rangers who in the '49-50 season finished eighth in the national competition, th Chokers played excellent ball only to lose out in the final minutes of play 6o to 52. Next, Coach Dan Melinkovich sent his Chokers against their first intersectional basketball foes, the 1950 National Junior Champs from Los AngelesCityCollege at the Miller gym. After playing the Cubs to a first half tie, the locals failed to keep pace with the sharper shooting alifornians and came out on the short end of a 42 to 36 score. Returning to league play, the Melinkovich men finished out the season with a record of six wins and eleven losses. with 27 against Everett. Don Ford came up with the best individual scoring performance Brudvik and Trautman played excellent ball at the guard spots, steal­ ing the ball and setting up plays. Warren, Hillstead, Ford and Robeck covered the. backboards as well as doing a good job on the scoring department . ing with ·a ·193 and 199 respectively. Brudvik and Robeck led the team scor­ The loss of Arnold Jones and Ron Druet to the U. S. Air Corps was a bad blow to the Chokers in early season play as both were returning lettermen. Coach Dan Melinkovich should be complimented for his work with the Chokers who were never out-hustled.
