ill f x axis as baters for the debate team. February the thirteenth marked the date for the annual Valentine party, a very successful event enjoyed by everyone. For the studens. teachers, and the public we sponsored the art exhibition during the week of March 4th. Heart Trouble was the name of the brilliant eomedy presented by the Junior class. We are proud ofthe dramatic ability displayed by the actors and aetresses in that production. For the finale of thc third year of our high school career we held the Junior-Senior Banquet in honor of the Seniors. Act IV The setting sun, and music at the close, As the lust taste of sweets, is sweetest last, Writ in remembrance more than things long past. -Shakespeare. lVith a mixed feeling of superiority and sadness we entered our last year together as Seniors. We maintained the excellent record of giving our share of members to the extra-currieular activities and also of keeping our scholarship rating high. A year full of pleasure and excitement has come to an end. With William Thompson as president, Mary Kathern Lunbeck as vice-president, and Max Lawrence as secretary-treasurer, and with the beneficial aid of the faculty adviser, Miss Conn, our Senior year has proved a memory to be treasured in each Senior's heart. Aet V XVe are ready to try our fortunes to the last man. -Shakespeare. Page Twenty-six

One hundred and thirty-five strong we entered the portals of Washington High School, September 12, 1932, as l4'reshmen. Probably we were as green as the greenest, and rather bewildered by the l1ustle and bustle of the upperclassmen and the Sophomores, but, nevertheless, we were willing and ready to cooperate with our teuehers and to apply ourselves to our books. The Freshman class was efficiently c'ap.ained 'by Gene Hard who had for his helpers the vice-president, Susan Sheppard, and the seeretary-treasurer, Mary Kathern Lfunbeek. This class joined whole- heartedly in all the extra activities, giving able support to the magazine drive and to athletie, musical, and club organiz'ati:.ns. The scholarship of the Freshman elass rated high. Some of our members upheld the honor of the class by plaeing in the state scholarship tests at Columbus. The Freshman picnic, inaugurated by the class ot' '35, brought. this never-to-be-forgotten year to an end. We shall always remember, too, the gram-ious guidance of the Freshman adviser, Miss Davis. Aet ll My salad days, when 1 was green in judgment. -Shakespeare. After the trials of being l4'rc'shnun, we felt highly elated to be Sophomores and to be able to sit baek and enjoy the antics of the incoming class of Freshmen. We were gradually attaining our goal, that et' beconiing upper classmen. We con- tinued to express our interest in the school by partieipajng inl the various events, aetivities, and organizations. Again several mernbers were selected to enter the state scholarship tests at Columbus. Under tht capable hand of Mrs. Coffman we all became Japanese - the girls in varied-colored kimonczs with flowers in their hair, the boys with their shallow, black hats and wicked-looking mustaches - to carry on the tradition of a successful Sophomore car.ival. Our Sophomore year was closed with a very enjoyable picnie, the plans ot' which were cariied out by our president, Gene Hardg vice-president, William Thompson, and secretary-treasurer, Susan Sheppard. Act III Why, then, the world's mine oyster Whit-h l with sword will open. -Shakespeare. At last we were upper-classmen! For this privilege we, as Juniors, had to work harder 'and had to take our responsibilities seriously. At the lirsf meeting William Thompson was eleeted presidentg Betty Nisley, viee-president, and Betty Cline, secretary-treasurer - a trio of eapable persons who with the understanding and aid ot' Mrs. Fite led us through a pleasant Junior year. In basketball, football, and the intramurals our class was well represenled. Also we furnished some de- Page Twenty-tive
