On April sixteenth, they presented their annual concert. The concert, as usual, was a great success. Members of the band were called upon to provide music for the junior Class Minstrel.

During the annual election assembly, members of the Government classes presented the views on Student Councils, pro and con. Then during the annual mock-election the Student Council was voted on either for or against by the student body. The returns were overwhelming for a Student Council. Though too much has not been accomplished this year, the ball has been started rolling by the Class of l948. lt is up to the other classes to carry on with the Student Council and make it a living organ of Washington High School. 43 IUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President .,.................... .....,.

As this panorama of activities unfolds, you will know the reasons for the after-class hours spent by your children at school. ln the years to come it will always afford us the greatest of pleasure to reminisce on the scene for which we have the greatest affection, The Set- tingsf' NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY S . 4 Q Washington High School has had a chapter of the National Honor Society EE LS since l933. This society was first organized in l903 at South Side Academy 3 in Chicago. At the beginning the students were inclined to emphasize too strongly sports and other extra-curricular activity and let their schoolwork slideg therefore, a new organization was designed to promote scholarship, service, and leadership. Among the students, membership in the National Honor Society is the greatest honor that can be awarded a student. The students will always have fond memories of their school paper, the Lion's Roar , which is efficiently edited and published by the members of the National Honor Society. The society is under the supervision of Miss Ruth Stecher.

VOCATIONAL CLUB The Vocational Club was organized in the fall of i947 primarily for social activities, to bring together all members of the Vocational Departments, Home Economics, Com- mercial, Co-Operative, Auto Mechanics and Machine Shop. Any vocational student is eligible for membership at no cost as the club charter eliminates dues. The first get-together was a Christmas party held at the field house. The evening, which was enjoyed by all, was spent in participating in games, exchange of gifts and the lunch. The second party was held near St. Patrick's Day. This was a basketball game, Machine Shop vs. Auto Mechanics, followed by an over abundance of food served in the Home Economics Department. Late this spring a cook-out at some state park is scheduled'to close all activities until the following fall.

FOOTBALL SCORES Washing 74 Make Grrdrron History Football season opened in September with the first game against Franklin. ln this game the Blue Lions showed their outstanding physical condition by defeating Franklin l8-O. Enthusiastic over this victory, the Blue Lions encountered Chillicothe and lost by a sorrowful score of 7-6. Wilmington came to meet the Blue Lions. They were defending their SCO Crown. Even though our boys were in good physical condition, lived football, thought football, sacrificed all social activities, they lost by a score of 7 to 6. The Lions took Greenfield l2-7, but went down under Bexley in a heartbreaking l4 to 7 defeat. Coach Pierson and Coach Steve Lewis gave the Lions one of their famous pep talks, and the stirring motto, Sock 'em and Rock 'em was seen in the re- maining four games. 75 ' WMF' .. ,., va we-wg.

HIGH FOOTBALL About 55 boys from the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades answered the call for jr. High football players shortly after the opening of school. Practice was held each afternoon at Wilson's Field in preparation for the opening game with Greenfield here on October 2. The boys got off to a good start by winning 26 to 6 only to lose the following week to Circleville by a l2 to 31 score. On October l6 Xenia invaded our city, scoring in each quarter, to down us Z4 to 6. Then the local boys took over to down Greenfield again 26-O and ended the season by taking the measure of the Wilmington juniors by a 20-7 score. Having won 3 out of 5 games, the boys hung up their pads till another season. 79 Fast, Aggressive Action Makes Front Row: B. Craig, B. Campibell, D. Denton, D. O'Brien, F. VanMeter. Second Row: G. Sogor, J. Brandon, D. Andrews, D. Korn, V. Clay, Coach Lewis. The Blue Lion Cagers engaged in one of the most suc- cessful seasons in the history of our school. After losing their first three games, the Blue Lions finally hit their stride and edged out Bexley 35 to 26. The boys swept through all South Central League competition with the exception of Hillsboro, who edged them out by 3 points in the second encounter. That 3 point deficit proved to be the margin that kept the Blue Lions from winning their first championship in the his- tory of the school. Ending the season with a record of IO wins and 9 losses, the Lions traveled to Columbus to meet the Rosary Quintet. This game was one of the fastest and most thrilling of the whole tournament. The Lions after having a lO point lead midway through the third period were finally edged out with the help of the referees. With eight boys re- turning to next year's squad, the Blue Lions under the able and experienced coaching of Steve Lewis, are expected to avenge some of the defeats registered against them this year. The Lions are losing two experienced boys-Don Denton and Dick Andrews, captain. 80 Honors- Bob Craig-lst Team All-South Central Dick O'Brien and Bill Campbell -2nd Team Bill Campbell4Honorable Mention District Tournament Dick O'Brien and Bob Craig-- Co-Captains for next year Basketball An Exciting Game 81 BASKETBALL SCORES Washington Leesburg .,.,, ,..., 3 6 34 North ,,.... ..... 4 6 32 Hillsboro ..... ,,,.. 4 8 29 Bexley ,,....,,, ..... 2 6 35 Grandview .,.,,, ,,.,, 5 l 35 Circleville ,,.,. 43 44 London ...,..A ,,,.. 2 8 36 Portsmouth ,... ,.,,, 4 4 43 Wilmington ,,,, ..,,. 3 O 4l Greenfield ...... .,,.. 3 3 38 Dayton .,...v ...., 4 6 36 Hillsboro .,.,,.,, ,..,. 4 4 4 l London ..,,,..s.,,, , ,,..,, 40 67 Dayton Stivers ,,,,,.., 39 32 Circleville ..,.,,,,,,..,, 3l 36 Wilmington .,,, ..... 3 2 53 lronton ,.....,,,, ...,. 5 O 39 Greenfield ..,,.. ..... 3 5 38 Delaware ...,,,,, ..... 3 8 42 Tournament Rosary ,.,,,,...,,, ,..,, 5 5 47 2 l RESERVE BASKETBALL The reserve basketball team played a l7-game schedule, winning two games and losing fifteen.
