Freshman Class Histor GREEN ..., ! -Symbolic of Freshmen? Could be ...., but not to the Freshman Class of 1941-42. We will admit that we were not conscious that the seniors have a priority on the seats in the study hall and that the traffic flows up on the north stair- way and down on the south stairway, but we accepted the polite advice of the upper- classmen, yet were humorously embarrassed. To our Freshman Class green has meant: GO . . .GOING . . .GONE GO . . . Sharing in many of the high school activities which were made possible for us by the new building and those people responsible for it, we got the go signal while we were yet in the eighth grade. The first few days of school found us electing the leadership for our class with David Bonnie, presidentg Mary Lou Follis, vice-presidentg Dale Bonnie, secretary, and Leo Barger, treasurer. First scholastic honors in the an- nual eighth grade tests went to Delbert Brandenburg, while Mary Lou Follis and George Hall tied for second place. As to athletics, the eighth grade boys showed promise of making it warml' for the opponents in football and basketball for the next few years. The spot picked for the class picnic was Summers' cottage at Rock Mills where everyone enjoyed the out-of-doors, baseball . . . oh, yes, and the hot-dogs and baked beans. GOING . . . Summer gone so soon, and we were off to a flying start by electing our freshman officers for the new school year. After assembling in the auditorium where nominations took place, we chose the following people for offices: president, Delbert Brandenburg, vice-president, Janice Murray, secretary, David Bonnieg and treasurer, Ruth Long. Our class proved to take a responsible part in the activities of high school life, including music and athletics. Freshman enthusiasm was quickly ignited with the opening of the football season, having representatives on both the Junior High and Varsity squads. Those on the Junior High team were: Brandenburg, Woods, Barger, and Whitman. The Bonnries, Christman, and Curry made the Varsity squad, all of whom chalked up quarters, with Christman and Curry receiving letters. Much credit is due to the freshmen for contributing almost twenty per cent. of the members of the marching band. The Reserve Basketball team which had a very successful season WHS partly composed of four high-scoring freshmen: Bonnie, Bonnie, Michael, and Christman. GONE . . . Gone are the days when we were freshmen. Our classes, our teachers, our games and our school parties are now woven into one happy memory. GO . . . GOING . . . GONE. VIRGINIA MARK.

Sophomore Class History In September of 1940 we started on our four-year march that will take us through Washington High School. We elected as our officers: president, Jane Marky vice-priesi- dent, Virginia Craig, secretary, Lonnie Price, and treasurer, Nancy Lee James. Our freshman year those who placed in the scholarship tests in the district were: Bobby Lou Speaks and Ralph Michael in English, Fred Carlson and Randall Worthington in Algebra, David Ellis and Karl Harper in General Science, and Jane Mark and Justine Burnett in Latin. We had 14 boys who went out for football, seven for basketball, two for base- ball, and two for tennis, but did not have any star players. Bill Rudduck made track because of his outstanding pole-vaulting ability. The event bringing to an end a memor- able year was our freshman picnic held at Craig's cottage at Cedar Hurst under the di- rection of Miss Schneider, our class adviser. Having thus enjoyed one year of our march to our goal we started our sophomore year under the supervision of Miss Davis. This year, as our officers, we chose: president, Dick Kellyg vice-president, Carol McCoy, secretary, Mary Sextong treasurer, Frances McDonald. Five of our boys played football this year although they did not get their letter. In basketball Bill Rudduck and Robert Meeker have made the reserve team. Also we were represented in the high school band and orchestra by about a dozen in each. As our sophomore year is brought to a close We realize we have reached the half-way mark in our high school career and we hope that through determination and hard work our class of 1944 will bring honors that will reflect credit upon Washington High School.
