COUNSELORS Miss Margaret Litchfield Mr. George Dirksen Remember our junior year and how excited we were on becoming mighty upper classmen? Officers of the junior class were: Don Wash, president, Henry Teraoka, vice president, Shirley Fischer, secretary, and Harold Nielsen, treasurer. Those on the executive committee were: Bonnie Horton, Lawrence Schwabenland and Wayne Jackson. The class sponsors were Mrs. Eleanor Kellum and Mr. Dirksen. Then the big event occurred. We received our class rings and sweaters. Remember how we wore our new sweaters at every opportunity and showed off our rings to the envying freshmen and sophomores? Junior Dress Up Day gave us a chance to display our originality in designing and wearing different costumes. Although we couldn't compete with Dior or Fath of Paris, we managed to get a lot of laughs and fun from our ideas. We were all proud when Joann Taylor was selected as junior representative to Girls' State at Sacramento. Since the Junior-Senior Prom was a not-too-distant event, we decided to finance it by selling magazines and by operating the school store. lt was decidedly the most thrilling event af the year. We chose for the theme Forty-niners and held our banquet and ball at Club 509 in Fresno. We climaxed a wonderful year with a swimming party. At last, we became seniors and at the first assembly we could be heard loudly proclaiming the fact with our yell, s-s-sen-i-i-ior! We elected Marvin Taylor class president, Bill Goss vice-president, Doris Nelson secretarv and Floyd Harlan treasurer. Those on the executive committee were: Deward Bobbitt and Michiko Suo. Next came the most wonderful of all days-Senior Ditch Day. Most of us went skiinq and tobboganing at Badger Pass. No casualties were sustained-and what fun!!-what food!!! -We all ate and ate, and ate! Arsenic And Old Lace , a spine tingling and uproariously funny mystery-comedy was chosen for our senior play. The cast consisted of Don Wash, Jean Petro, Dorothy Hansen, Don Ostergard, Carol Sonneman, Bryant Wilson, Douglas Sullivan, Fred Rambus, Charles Larson, Jock Johansen, Don Ahlmeyer and Lawrence Schwabenlond. Those who proved themselves Einsteins by becoming life members in the CSF were! Doris Dahlgren, Ollive Gandy, Virginia Linder, Doris Nelson and Mary Lou Platten. Our class sponsors were Miss Margaret Litchfield and Mr. George Dirksen. Now that graduation is drawing near, we have many wonderful memories of Washington Union, but find that we are feeling rather sad upon parting from our Alma Mater and all the friends we made here, We shall always remember the dances, field trips, assemblies and games which sum up a grand four years! EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Deward Bobbitt Miclaiko Sue
