SENIOR CLA T THE end of eight perfect semesters we seniors look back on the four years we have spent at Washington and find them good. It all began in the fall of '34 when a group of seventh graders formed the nucleus of our class of '4O. In the fall of '36 five elementary parochial schools supplied about one hundred twenty-five new students for our freshman class. The new entrants in addition to the Junior High students already here formed one of the largest classes ever enrolled at Washington. In its freshman year the class held two parties and participated in other activities. The boys played pass-ball and basketball and the girls joined the G. A. A, The A section of the class chose Victor Golubski as recipient of the D. A. R. award. The B section one-half year later elected Marie Bogacki and Ervin Dombrowski to receive the same award. During that year Isabelle Balint, Gertrude Zakrzewski, Esther Spychalski, and Chester Lindorf were accepted as reporters on The Hatchet staff. In the fall of '37 the majority of us returned as sophomores, We were sponsored by Mr. Arm- strong, Mr. McNamara, Mr. Becht, and Mr. Nel- son. With the beginning of a new semester came the beginning of new activities. The Hi-Y and the Girl Reserves were organized. Many of the boys were members of the football team that went through the season without suffering defeat. That team made the first of the squad's visits to White Plains, New York, to play the Thankgiving game there. During that same year the class had two sopho- more dances, many of its members took minor roles in the production of H. M. S. Pinafore, others were members of the basketball squad, and the choruses ofthe spring musicale Home on the Range had many sophomore members. During its Junior year the class elected Joe Ro- dick president: sent Ernest Wasikowski, Don Schramski, John Weinzetl, Ed Hanyzewski, Peter Ratajczak, Charles Kovath, John Strykul, Joe Pajakowski, Bob Hajzyk, Albert Suppinger, Joe Rodick, and Herb Zakrocki to White Plains in the second eastern invasiongof the foofall squad. During that year the class did a lotg of talking: Ervin Kalka and Gertrude Lodyga debated, a whole group participated in radio broadcasts with SS HISTORY Victor Golubski masterminding scripts and presen- tations, and another group presented 'AElmer as the junior class play. Frank Ripsco, Helen Grze- lewski, Margaret Nagy, and Mary Pozvar played the leads with Eleanor Staszewski, Helen Grun- wald, Mary Ramenda, and Victor Golubski hold- ing down the minor assignments. As Juniors the members of the cla.ss also held two very nice dances, one of which was a semi- formal affair, and the girls gave a tea for the senior girls. General chairman of this affair was Regina Litka. Just before Christmas vacation Maxine Dhoore, Ervin Kalka, and Alex Kovacsics played the leading roles in the playlet Why the Chimes Rang. After Christmas Ed Hanyzewski and Bob Hajzyk starred with Riley and Central in the Rochester tournament, and Ervin Kalka received the Speech medal. In the spring of '38 many juniors participated in the operetta The Marriage of Nanette, and Wroblewski, Hanyzewski, Barczykowski, Rodick, and Sciba were members of the baseball team that won the N, I. H. S. C. championship for the year. At the beginning of the class' senior year, Ervin Kalka was elected first semester president: Herbert DeGreve, second semester president, Marian Nagy, vice president: Alex Kovacsics, treasurer: and Ger- aldine Freel, secretary. Elizabeth Mayerhofer took over editorship of the new paper This Week. In athletics members of this class, now playing first string for the second year, swept the slate in football championships, drove through a fairly successful basketball season, and as the history is being written are on the verge of cinching a second N. I. H. S. C. championship in baseball. Socially the class has staged two very successful Senior Proms: the first at the Proigress Club, and the second at the Palais Royale. In drama the class produced Death Takes A Holiday as its senior project: and Joseph Sarka and Joseph Pajakowski did much to make Pirates of Penzance the success that it was. u Special honor was bestowed by the class on cer- tain of its members at the time of its dances. For the January Prom John Strykul and Helen Grun- wald were king and queen, and for the spring dance Evelyn Danch and Ervin Dombrowski were so honored.
