We sincerely hope that you have taken advantage of the opportunity to develop while you were going through these halls of learning. To you belongs the future, and in your hands eventually will rest the progress of our great nation. Tremendous strides are being made in science, but we should not forget our debt to the Su- preme Being to whom we owe everything. Instead of putting all our efforts into finding new means for the destruction of mankind, we must put our new- found knowledge to work in promoting the betterment of our fellow beings. This is the true challenge facing your gen- eration. May you meet this challenge with success and glory. % X. 17 Congratulations to the members of the Sunburst Staff for a fine school annual.

Homecoming The 1957-58 Homecoming was a memorable oc- casion for our queen, Jean Conaway, and her lovely court. It consisted of Marianne Mouser, senior attendant; Helen Smith, junior attendant; Beverly Horney, sopho- more attendant; and Josianne Glitt, freshman attendant. Our queen was honored at an impressive assembly and later reigned over the game. But pretty, black-haired, brown-eyed Jean was too much for our players. The Wimington Hurricanes cut our Lion’s mane close as we were defeated by a one-point margin. But the evening was not in vain; after the game the Student Council sponsored the traditional Homecoming dance over which ,. Jean beamed her radiant smile. Presenting Queen Jean and escorts.

It contains the trials and tribulations which faced us, as well as the happy moments we enjoyed. As we entered Washington High School in the fall of 1954, we were a group of eager but confused students. Soon, however, we accustomed ourselves to the habits of the high school and joyously accepted the title of “Freshmen.” We tackled two new academic subjects, Algebra and Latin. These created new headaches, and many a night was spent trying to make X + Y-2 or translating “amo, amas, amat.” New responsi- bilities were placed on our shoulders and to help us meet them, we elected Tom Swaim, president; John Knisley, vice president; Kathe Wright, secretary; and Sandy Robinette, treasurer. How proud we were because now our own boys could take part in senior high sports! To add our share of beauty to the homecoming court, we elected Janet Ellis our attendant. After studying and struggling our way through our first semester exams, we breezed through the rest of the year. Traveling farther on our road to higher learning, we next stopped at the sophomore level. Just imagine! Now there were students below us. We struggled with straight lines and triangles with the hope of some day conquering geometry. The dissection of frogs in biology and the translation of Caesar added to our troubles. Leading us this year were Joan Knisley, Earl Palmer, and Tom Swaim. Joan also represented our class in the year’s homecoming ceremonies. By now we were looking forward to the coming year when we could say “good-bye” to the silly ideas of the younger folk and start thinking like adults. Junior year—upperclassmen at last! Now we begin to plan ahead. To manage our affairs, we elected as our officers, Janet Ellis, Jim Wilson, Tom Swaim, and Linda Loudner. Making money became the interest of all, and our cookie sale was a tre- mendous success. For homecoming we chose Linda Laymon to represent us in the queen’s court. Soon there was the excitement of dress rehearsal, make-up, and stage lights as we presented Dino, a serious and heart-warming play, starring Earl Palmer, Joan Knisley, Janet Ellis, and Phil French. As a grand climax to a wonderful year, we created “Never Never Land” to be the theme of the Junior-Senior Prom. Now we have reached the high rung on the ladder of learning, our senior year. The honor of being the leaders of the school was our responsibility. To help us uphold this honor we chose Tom Swaim as our class president. Serving with him w'ere Jim Wilson. Janet Ellis, and Doug Rider. The beautiful ceremonies honored Jean Cona- way, our queen, who was crowned by co-captains Roger McLean and Jim Wilson. Marianne Mouser was elected our senior attendant to tbe queen. To display our dra- matic talents this year, we presented Our Miss Brooks. The delightfully comic part of the school teacher was well portrayed by Nancy Wood; the other members of the cast worked together to make the play a success. As the year progressed, we began to plan our careers. Visiting colleges and writing letters of application became week- end activities. Then all too soon came senior exams, and we gave up those “outside activities” to have more time for studying. Completing our final exams, we were ready for graduation. Our twelve years of school are completed, and we are prepared to take our places in the world. Looking back on our school years, we appreciate more than ever the help given to us by our teachers, our families, and our friends. They have given us the foundation for our future lives; now it is our responsibility to utilize this knowledge to build worthwhile lives.

J Revealing Zrip of 1973 My friend, DR. WILLIAM B. WEAD, and my nurse, LINDA LOUDNER, took over my Covington. Kentucky practice for me for my annual month’s vacation, and I decided to take my girl friend, KRIS HIMMELSPACH, and to try to' find out what happened to all our old high school classmates during the last fifteen years since graduation. We figured that the best place to start would be back home, in Washington C. H., so we rented a jet car from RON McCUNE’S U-Drive-It and started out. Going through Cincinnati, past one of BOB MARTINDALE’S Big Boy restaurants and JANET ELLIS’S “Meat” market, we saw a beautiful department store under construction. There was a big sign that said, “ORTHMEYER, RHOAD, and FENT Engineering Architecture Corporation. I was glad to see that HAROLD, JOHN and DALE had been successful. PERRY SALYER was sitting in the foreman’s office. As we drove into Washington, now a great industrial and oil refining center, from Cincinnati, we passed the stock car track and saw HANK ANDERS, TED KLINE, and FOREST PENWELL tuning up their atom-rods in preparation for a race. The former Pennington Bakery had changed names; it was now “MILSTEAD and SOUTH- WARD Baked Goods.” I guessed that LARRY and FLOYD were doing all right for themselves. At the traffic light on Clinton Avenue we saw a jet police cruiser parked, waiting for law- breakers. On closer inspection, we saw that the policemen were ED ORR and BENNY BECKEN STOE. In a prominent downtown location was ROGER McLEAN’S Exterminating Service. His slogan was: “We’ll Catch That Mouse.” At the Naval recruiting office we saw DON COULTER. BOB DAW'ES, and EDDIE SW'ORD going in to see the recruiting officer, DOUG RIDER. We figured they were signing up for a fourth hitch. A new patent medicine shop was the next place we saw. A big sign in front proclaimed: “RON DOW'LER’S Medicine—Good for W'hat Ails You”. BILL RILEY’S Helicopter Fixit Shop was the next place we passed. DALE COIL was tow’ing his smashed plane in. We guessed he would be a “Walker” for a while now. Beside ROGER SCHORR’S Jewelry Store was JOHN SWAYNE’S Photography Studio. John had the honor of photographing JEAN CONAWAY, Miss America of 1965. We stopped in PHIL JOHNSON’S and LARRY HURTT’S Technical Laboratories and saw many familiar faces. Bent over oscilloscopes and taking notes were WILMA JEAN STEELE, JUANITA BENNETT, and BERNICE CRABTREE. BOB BURRIS, PHIL FRENCH, and GENE WISSINGER were strolling around in their white coats examining everyone’s work. SHIRLEY BUNCH. MARY ANN DONOHOE, and ANITA HAMILTON were diligently feeding in- formation into a Univac, while PATTY EMRICK operated the switchboard which was con- nected directly with the United States satellites. Before we left Washington C. H.. we decided to stop in the old Alma Mater and see how things were going. Passing Superintendent DAVE GALLIETT’S office, we heard an uproar. We couldn’t help overhearing four influential farmers—JACK MATTHEWS, BOB CAPLINGER, DICK KLEVER. and RON VAN DYKE—threatening to sue the city if the city school board wouldn’t let their children come to city elementary schools. Mr. Galliett’s lawyer, TOM SWAIM, was try- ing valiantly to cool the farmers off. Walking past the library, we saw a coach’s meeting. Coaches JACK ANDERS, JIM WILSON. DICK WELCH, and KENNY EVANS were trying to figure a way to raise interest in sports. In the next room we overheard teachers CONNIE CAMPBELL, MARY ANN HACKETT, and CATHY CROKER discussing a way to create interest in school work. Looking into the chemistry lab, we saw Mr. Glover and Mr. Winter arguing with HAROLD SHACKLEFORD and MARY ANN PENROD (both church workers and missionaries) about evolution. On our way out, we passed the band room, in which Band Director, DICK WILLIS and his wife, KAY M1NSHALL W'JLLIS, were discussing a selection for the spring band concert. We decided to go to Columbus next. Since Kristin had been trying for fifteen years to de- cide whether or not to enter nurses training, I thought I would show her around some of the Columbus hospitals to help her make up her mind. In Grove City, we were stopped for speeding by JACK HATMACHER and ROGER SCHWART, local policemen. They took us to the City Hall, where LARRY SLAVENS served double duty as chief of police and common pleas judge. After being released with a suspended sentence, we toured City Hall and, on the second floor, we saw PAUL NEFF, CPA, and a familiar office staff: CAROLYN HUDNELL, NORMA WILCOXON, WANDA HUFF, and JOAN CURTIS. After saying hello, we left and drove on into Columbus without incident. Having passed Jets Stadium—where only the day before, BILL HERMAN’S Jets, led by pitcher ROGER SHAW’, had tied Montreal, coached by JIM McWILLIAMS—we stopped at Ml. Carmel Hospital. Inquiring at the information desk, which was tended by JANET WILLIS, we found that JO PETERS, ERMA RODGERS, NANCY WOOD, and JANICE KELLEY had all been serving there as registered nurses during the last ten years incidentally, they were all married and had fine families). We saw Erma, now MRS. ROBERT HARPER, and asked her what her husband was doing for a living. We found that he is well established as X-ray technician there. Saying good-bye, we headed for University Hospital. JOYCE LUTZ, psychiatrist, offered to give us a guided tour. The first patient we saw was RANEY FOSTER, who was nursing a “charlie horse” he had sustained while running a 3:25 mile in Australia. It was visiting time, and his wife, SOPHIA DIXON and their three sons. Sonny, Dusty, and Snowy, were all there. Raney said that while he was in Australia, he saw JUDY BROOKS and SHEILA ROBINETTE trying to “convert” a few kangaroos and rabbits. It seems they had already converted all the people, and now were starting on the animals. MARIANNE MOUSER, physical therapist, was giving her husband, a certain Washington C. H. exterminator, a whirlpool bath. He had tripped over one of their five children’s roller skates and pulled a muscle in his knee. We saw MARTHA PARRETT operating a centrifuge in the lab. In the children’s ward were MARY AGNES HELFRICH and KATHE WRIGHT. Kathe was teaching the little sick children how to play “recruiting officer.” In the maternity ward waiting room we saw nurses JOY LUCAS and SYLBIA ROBINETT trying to calm down two husbands, whose wives, JEAN BENNETT and LINDA WISECUP, were in the delivery room. JO RHOADES and CAROLYN WILHELM were assisting with the de- liveries. Psychiatrist Lutz then excused herself, saying she had a violent patient to attend to. We wished her good luck and left to hospital. Driving through the heart of Columbus, we saw two familiar names up in the lights: “SLVIA LEE and LINDA BEATTY, Famous Song and Dance Team.” It seems they were on tour and had flown in from New Orleans for a special engagement. Lazarus department store now occupies fourteen Columbus blocks and is the largest in the world. Wre stopped and went in. The first person we saw was LINDA HALL1DAY, The Personal Shopper for the store ... To attract attention, she was beating on a big bass drum. CHARLOTTE A ILLS and PATTY KNEDLER, both surrounded by their children, were listening to JANET EMRICK, giving a sales pitch on a new hair dye, while ELIZABETH MELVIN was buying twelve pairs of little shoes. We overheard clerk, KAY KNISLEY, ask JOYCE HAMILTON what brand of football she wanted for her boy. Joyce said. “Why, Wilson, of course.” Feeling very satisfied that we had been able to see so many of our old friends, we decided to drop our rented car off at one of McCune’s branch stations and fly back to Covington. We bought our tickets from ticket seller, LU ANN FOSTER, and boarded our plane. Our plane trip was as rewarding as our other tour, for our stewardesses were JUDY EDMONDSON and VIRGINIA SHOOP. Besides this, whom should we be seated behind but the famous models, JOAN KNISLEY and LINDA LAYMON. They were on their way from Paris to Kansas City, where they were to participate in a style show. Flying low over southwestern Ohio, we could see two moving tractors in adjoining fields. As we drew nearer we discerned that they were being driven by CHARILY N REINKE and MARY BELLE SHOEMAKER. I guess they married farmers after all. After arriving back in Covington and finding everything in order at my office, I threw myself into a big red leather chair and relaxed. It was while I sat there, reflecting on the days activities, that I thought what a good companion Kristin had been for me. I decided to make the big move; I asked her to go steady. 48 Earl Palmer, Prophet Class Will We, the members of ihe Class of 1958, of Washington High School, in the city of Washington Court House, county of Fayette, and state of Ohio, believing ourselves to be physically, morally, and mentally sound, declaring null and void all previous wills which we have written, do draw and publish this to be our last will and testament.

Could we struggle through chemistry? Would the Prom be a success? To our own amazement and that of the seniors, we came through with flying colors. We also found working together could be fun, especially during the junior class play. Even the games were more interesting this year because our boys were on the varsity team. As we watched the seniors go down the aisle, we wondered what the coming year would hold. 51 {Juniors Jane Alkire Richard Anthony Billie Appleton Kay Bainter Judy Bell Larry Bennett Richard Bowers Lynne Boylan Mary Brown Donna Burke Larry Burnett Judy Cahall Sandra Campbell Jack Cartwright Janice Chaney 52 Dixie Coe Ronnie Coffman Joe Coulter Bonnie Crabtree Jack Crabtree Connie Cummings D rothy Cunningham Barbara Cutlip Jane Davis Mary Dawes Gail Detweiler Helen Ducey Linda Dunnagan Beverly Eckle Bobby Edgington Sheryl Elliott John Ellcessor Beverly Evans Jack Evans Mildred Everhart Letitia Fox David Frederick Jack Gillen Nancy Grim Sharon Grubb Pat Hagan Jack Hamilton Sally Hamilton Jerry Hanes Jim Henry ‘Juniors Joe Henry Sandra Hill Carolyn Hillard Charles Hire Denver Hixon Erma Hooks Zola Hooks Larry Howland John Hunter Jim Irons Ronny Johns Sharon Kerns Jim Kirk David Korn Mike Lawrence 53 Jean Leasure Danny Leaverton Bob Leeth Sharon Leeth John Leland Ann Lentz Ethel Lowe Allen McClung Ronnie McCray Jack McDaniel Rosalyn Marting Donnie Merritt Julia Merrit Sandra Mickle Marilyn Miller Ijuniors 54 Max Milstead Donna Mitchem Jack Moats Jacqueline Mosley Dan Mulvihill Nancy Newton Byron Palmer Wanda Paul Florence Pennington Jack Pen well Gary Polk Phillip Preston Beverly Reeves Joyce Rhoades Kay Rhoades Virginia Roberts Latricia Robinson Peggy Rohrer Henry Roszmann Carol Row Phil Sanders Cora Lee Shaw David Sheets Helen Smith Maureen Smith Harold Stevenson Gary Stoddard Maxine Streitenberger Jo Anne Summers Frank Terrell {Juniors Photo not available Karol McCune Bob Sheridan Sam Thomas Mary Thompson Bill Tooker Shelby Tubbs Carolyn Walker Shirley Walker Mary Kay West Jane Whiteside Carolyn Williams Herman Williamson Jack Wilson Jowanda Wilson Jane Wright 55 JERRY CRISSINGER President PAULETTE PENNINGTON Vigt-President RONNIE CARTER Secretary SOPHOMORES Eventually we shall have the privileges the seniors are now enjoying, but for this year we must prove our worthiness. We, too, have our heroes to look up to and admire. There are moments of complete maturity when we are one hundred per cent adult, but always we return to our special world of “not-quite-so-grown up.” Soon enough we shall take over all of our responsibilities; now we devote all our time to the happy job of enjoying our second year at Washington High School. 52 Sophomores Carol Acord Patricia Adams Don Anders Mary Armstrong Ruth Ann Arnold Sandra Atkinson Edith Bach Sandra Bainter David Baughn Eddie Baughn Pat Benson Preston Bently Nelson Blackmore Joyce Blades Mariellen Bridwell Helen Brown Janice Brown Barbara Byron Duane Callender John Campbell Carolyn Carr John Carr Ronald Carter Connie Chakeres Francis Clickner Mary Alice Coil Neila Cousins John Creed Jerry Crissinger Bill Crooks AZ 57 Sophomores 58 Wendell Crosswhite Bill Crosswhite Don Custer Nancy Custer Esther Detty Dean Dixon Harold Dixon Judyth Dixson Martha Donohoe Frank Dray Jean Ducey Marcella Duncan Sandy East Bill Edmondson Byron Ellars Lawrence Estle James Evans Reva Fackler Virginia Ferguson Patty Fisher Marlyn Flee Dale Ford Judy Forsha Jack Gardner Billy Gardner Saundra Gill James Goolsby Thelma Graham Melvin Haines Richard Hall Sophomores Arnold Hamby Owen Harper Peter Hayes Kathleen Higerd Forest Hines Beulah Hooks Beverly Homey Robert Huff Carol Hyer Connie lies Mike James Ann Johnson Robert Johnson Tim Kellough Stephen Kirk James Klever Eddie Lee Marilyn Leeth Mary Jane Limes Robert Longberry Ray Loudner Marvin Lucas Judith Lundberg Buddy Lynch Phyllis McCoy Ann McDonald Johnna McRobie Donna Maddux Beverly Manbevers Randy Mann 59 Sophomores 60 Gary Matthews Jane Meriweather Larry Merritt Robert Merritt Linda Miller Shirley Milstead Brenda Moore Richard Morris Roy.

Our first day of changing classes was a thrill we’ll never forget, hut by now we are accustomed to the rush and hubbub of the halls. The junior high games are of interest to all because they are a preview of tomorrow’s varsity.

Varsity Review The Blue Lions of 1957 fought through what was probably one of the weirdest schedules ever to be played by a Washington “11.” It was a year that saw the Lions play a 10-game season for the first time in history. The Lions opened at Linden-McKinley, and after having the Panthers slide and slosh over them during the first quar- ter. settled down and played them on even terms the rest or the game. In a near-cloudburst, the Xenia Buc- caneers twice slashed their way to the goal line via several Lion miscues, and the 13-0 final score pointed out just how costly mistakes can be. An undermanned, outplayed, inexperienced Little Miami team fell victim to the Lions sharp claws, and escaped only after a 56-6 mauling. By the next game the flu epidemic had reached Washington, and the Blue and White was hard-pressed to eke out a sluggish 12-7 win over Oak Hill. At first it looked like the Lions were out to set some scoring records at the expense of Hilliards, but after counting for 19 points in the first 6 minutes, they were held to a lone touchdown for the remainder of the contest, while Hil- liards picked up two to make the final tally 26-13. These were six non-league games. Of course there were also the really BIG GAMES . . . Larry Milstead tries desperately to get this pass for a touchdown. Kenny Evans looks unconcerned as he gracefully dcdges this Hillsboro opponent. The first league action of the year found the Lions set to do battle with the Tigers, with the encounter taking place on the opposition’s home field. At first, it looked as though the prognosticators had been correct in forecasting an easy McClain victory, for the Tigers penetrated deep into Lion territory soon after the opening whistle. However, the Washington defense turned back this threat, and for the first three quarters the two teams traded the pigskin with one another with neither being able to start anything resembling a scoring rally. Unfortunately, for Washington, about half way through the final period the Tigers found the Lions “Achilles Heel”—their pass defense. Although able to hold the Tigers on even terms on the ground, the Lions were no match for the Tigers in the air, and the final tally showed a two-touchdown deficit for Washington—14-0. Hillsboro’s powerful Indians came to Washington for an important SCO League encounter with a determina- tion to derail the Lions’ hope of remaining in the league race. The Hillsboro team had been holding secret drills all week, working out their single-wing offense and special pass defense, that supposedly would insure them a victory and a tie in the standings. The Indians, how- ever, did not count on the determination or the spirit of the Blue Lions or on the Lions’ ability to diagnose their highly-touted offense. The Indans’ single wing was com- pletely grounded by Washington, and although Hills- boro hit and tackled hard, their defense simply could not stop the running and passing of the Lions’ backfield, and when the final whistle sounded, the Hillsboro single wing fluttered off the field, the victim of a 19-0 clawing by our blue and white aggregation. Bill Herman gracefully evades this tackle. Gil Crouse tumbles as he is tackled by two opponents from Hillsboro. Ron Carter is determined to clear the way for ball carrier. Bill Herman. Playing in driving snow and freezing wind, the Lions wrote another chapter into the victory column in a game played on a muddy, grassless Circleville field. Despite the perverse weather conditions, a large crowd of sup- porters journeyed to Circleville to watch the Blue Lion team put on a blazing first half offense and then turn back a last-ditch Tiger effort to pull the game out of the fire. Circleville, however, could neither pull the game out, nor their fans into the cold, as their rally went prac- tically unnoticed by the deserted grandstands. The Tigers, who had tasted the fruit of victory only twice all season, threw everything their offense could command into the game in the last few minutes in an attempt to cross the goal line, but the Lions held firm, took over the ball on downs, and a 25-30 Washington victory was assured. In the season’s finale, the long-postponed Homecoming The Blue Lions perform some beautiful blocking as Roger McLean charges through the line. Roger shows the fighting spirit against Wilmington in our Home- coming game. game, the fans saw the clash of two of the most deter- mined, evenly-balanced teams ever to play at Gardner Park. The Blue Lions were after a Homecoming victory and a share of the league crown, while the Hurricanes blew into town with the thought of adding another win to its record and keeping its share of championship glory. Queen Jean and her Court were treated to the best game of the year, as the two teams fought hard, both hoping to be the victor. A Washington victory was not fated, however, for although both of the teams counted for two touchdowns and WHS defensive play highlighted the game. Wilmington gained the edge by virtue of an extra- point play around left end. The Lions couldn’t seem to find the crossbars or the end zone for one-pointers, and at the end of 48 exciting minutes the score stood 13-12 in favor of the Hurricanes. The Lions stop Linden-McKinley on one of their drives. Top row: M. James, D. Baughn, W. Wilson, B. Crooks, J. Crissinger, M. Lucas, T. Stillings, M. Chakeres, W. Wilson, B. Carringer. Second row: J.

Under the patient guidance of Coach Russell, the Junior High Cubs turned out the most successful rec- ord, percentage wise, of any sport at WHS. Charg- ing over the older, more experienced Reserve team on their debut, the Cubs kept up a torrid pace throughout the entire year, losing only to perennial powerhouse Chillicothe West Fifth in the season’s finale. The Cubs, comprised of about forty boys, scored Marilyn Willis, Shirley Stevens, Mary Kay Shipley, JRita Whipkey, Freda Hamilton. Not Shown: Sharon Schorr. 61 points to their opponent’s 35, but these figures do not tell the entire story. If West Fifth had not scored 28 points in their game, the Cubs would have had one of the lowest points-per-game-average by op- ponents in the state, for they shut out West Jeffer- son. Hillsboro, and Greenfield, while allowing the Reserve only one touchdown. The varsity is looking forward to receiving these boys in their ranks as valuable additions to the team. junior Migh THE 1957 FOOTBALL SUMMARY Washington. 13 Reserves 7 Washington .. 7 West Jefferson 0 Washington 7 Hillsboro 0 Washington 34 Greenfield 0 Washington 0 Chillicothe W.

Basketball The Blue Lions of WHS had one of their most unusual sea- sons during 1957-58—a season in which scoring records were broken, another league title was won, and many exciting con- tests thrilled capacity crowds. In the third game of the season, a tense throng of Blue Lion fans sat in awed anticipation dur- ing the final minutes of the fourth quarter as Larry Milstead thundered through the London defense to break the all-time school scoring record with 41 points. In future games, Swaim, Stillings, McWilliams, Southworth, Herman, and Johnson made ample compensation for the loss of the record-breaker and our hard-court quintet continued to thrill their followers. By smash- ing the defenses and offenses of Wilmington, Circleville, Hills- boro, and finally Greenfield, the Lions gained a tie with Wil- mington for the league title, thus sharing the crown for the third straight year. Bill reaches for a high one. Washington comes What happened to the ball. Larry? And the score goes up another notch! This shows the outstanding record compiled by Coach Rus- sell during his tenure at WHS—35 wins and 19 defeats. As far as the followers of the Lions’ fortunes were concerned, the one contest that will forever remain in their memories is the sec- ond Wilmington game played in our city on Valentine Day. It was the game which would make or break Washington’s chances to annex the SCO crown, and there was not an empty seat to be had when the opening buzzer sounded. The lead see-sawed back and forth between the two teams for all four periods, hut late in the last quarter the Lions built up an eight-point lead and then survived a last-ditch Hurricane effort to win, and pulled off the court with a 57-58 victory. The Lions of 1957-58, along with the champion reserves, gave WHS a basketball season that all students can reflect upon with pride and satisfaction. up with the ball.

Senior High Student Council junior High Student Council Democracy in student government was the guidepost for this year’s Senior High Student Council. Through the cooperation of members and the student body, the group has added several new projects which included the Pep Club and Pep Band. WHS and Greenfield student body representatvies exchanged visits at pep assemblies to promote good sportsmanship. Sock Hops were regulated by the Council, and they sponsored the Homecoming Dance. P.A. Chapel programs were presented three days a week by various school organizations under Council supervision. Members again operated a concession stand at all home football games to provide funds for various service activities including a S150 college scholarship to a deserving senior. The Council enjoyed a very successful year. The officers are John Rhoad, President; Mike Lawrence, Vice President; Jean Conaway, Secretary: Tom Swaim, Treasurer; Mr. Nestor, Advisor. The Junior High Student Council is an organization designed primarily to educate seventh and eighth graders in the basic operations of a democratic governmental or- ganization. There are ten regular members and ten al- ternate members as well as a presiding officer and class presidents in attendance at the meetings. Although not too active as a governing body, the organization pro- vides valuable experience that can be used by its mem- bers during their years in senior high. Two of the main projects of the Council are the annual magazine sale, which is conducted in the fall, and erection of signs throughout the building promoting courtesy. The Council also presented a motion picture for the Junior High stu- dents who took an active part in the magazine sales cam- paign.

National Honor Society Zkespians In the spring a thrill of anticipation fills the air as the time draws near for the N.H.S. induction. Juniors and Sen- iors ask themselves the question; “Do I meet the qualifi- cation of character, leadership, service, and scholarship? Is there a chance that I will be chosen?” Then the day arrives. Suspense mounts as informalities are completed. Then a senior member steps forward, and calls the first name. The face of the inductee lights up as he goes down the aisle to take his place on the stage. Other faces brighten as the ceremony continues. A feel- ing of pride, yet humility fills them as they take the oath. Then it is over, or is it? For the memory of this day will stay with them forever. The officers are Earl Palmer, President; John Rhoad, Vice President: Joyce Lutz, Secretary; Roger McLean, Treasurer. Production of plays, the study of drama, and creating team w'ork by unity are the goals of the National Thespian Society of the National Thespian League. Admissions in- to the society is a reward for those wrho have taken an active part in acting and stage assistance. It is also an incentive for better WHS plays and assemblies. A total of ten poins is needed for admission into the club. The present members have earned their points from taking part in the production of “Dino” and “Our Miss Brooks. The members, under the direction of Mrs. Sally Hagerty. gave the production of “Dr. Hudson’s Secret Journal.

The Library Club during the past year re-organized its platform in order to instill into its members a last- ing and profound interest in all types of literature. Part of this idea was carried out by having the members give programs about famous authors, their works, and their lives. At the annual May breakfast the seniors and re- tiring officers were inaugurated.

The night is crisp and cool as the Washing- ton High School Band begins to assemble at the first football game of the season. A few stray “blahs” come from the instruments as the musicians start to warm up for the com- ing game. To most students this event marks the beginning of the school year, but not so with the band members; their “band year” began two weeks before, when they received and innocent looking postcard instructing them to report to the band room at 7:30 Tues- day evening for rehearsal. Tilled With Music The first practice of the one hundred and eleven band members, was the beginning of a whole chain of events that all pointed di- rectly to one thing; the trip to the University of Cincinnati for the High School Band day. This day proved to be a very happy day be- cause we received many compliments: The band participated in the Pumpkin Show, Me- morial Day, Veterans Day, and the Hallo- ween parades. The climax of the year came when the band presented their annual Spring Concert and attended the band festival in Newark. Kathe walks through the hourglass. Joni Knisley, Ann Johnson, Marty Mickle.

Zkesp'm Play With Earl Palmer, Phil French, and Joyce Hamil- ton taking the leading roles and supported by an able group, the Thespian Society produced a very stirring drama, “Dr. Hudson’s Secret Journal.” Dr. Hudson, a very sincere person with a divine faith in people, is deeply interested in building a new wing to Brightwood Hospital. One man stands in his way, a Mr. Warner who owns the land. He is a very rich man and doesn’t want to sell the land for the price the trustees are able to pay. His daughter comes into the picture and falls in love with a young intern to complicate matters. All the people Dr. Hudson believed in let him down. But in the end his faith is renewed and the hospital becomes a realiza- tion. The play was considered by all to be a credit to the Thespian Society. 120 Senior Play “Our Miss Brooks,” the indefatigable English teacher of radio and TV fame came to WHS in the form of the Senior Play. The stage play involved the trials and tribulations of Miss Brooks as she tried to stage a class play for the fictional high school. The principal had passed the problem to her from the band director. Most of the trouble stems from Miss Brook’s battles with the coach who doesn't want Miss Brooks to use his gym or his star athlete, both of whom she has her cap set for. Miss Brooks won in the end . . . the star athlete, the gym, and even the coach himself. The star athlete does a little winning of his own. His sweetheart in the play’s play becomes his sweetheart in real life. This was considered a good play by all who saw it. Nancy reprimands Jim.

The production bounced through the hilarious situa- tions created by a Bayou family who decided to im- prove their lot by buying a new house. By the time of the triumph, the audience had enjoyed two hours of thoroughly entertaining humor. Top rou : Chuck Hire. Ronald McCray, Ron Coffman. David Korn. Jack Pen- well.
