THE BLUE AND GOLD w. H. s. ORGANIZATIONS The central organization of 'XVashington High School is the Student Council, com- prised of the officers of the student body and a representative from each club. This organization meets at regular intervals to discuss matters of interest to the student body. The Council takes care of such matters as ticket-selling, good manners, campaigns and Blue and Gold subscriptions. It has arranged for a continuous contest among the clubs, a given number of points going to the club, winning out in banking, ticket-selling, etc. The clubs were granted charters by the Council during the first part of the year. The chartered clubs are the Travel. Classical, T. N.T. or Scientific. Dramatic, Millin- ery and Radio. The unchartered clubs, which take members from the chartered clubs. are the Athletic Association and the Girls' Glee Club. The chartered clubs meet bi-monthly for a forty-live minute session. The Travel Group takes imaginary trips to all parts of the globe. All expenses are paid by Miss Kieffer, faculty advisor. The Classical Club devotes its time to the study of Roman Life and Art and in the preparation of a Latin play. Miss Kuenzli is faculty advisor. Under the able direction of Miss Miles, the Peppy Dramatizers have presented some very good programs. The T. N. T. makes experiments and scientific research, on a small scale. Miss Jacobs helps them to live up to their name. The Millinery Girls supplied Findlay with Easter bonnets. Miss Gilbert lends a helping hand. The Radio Club gathers news from far and wide and are amateurs. Ask Mr. Hybarger. It is to the Athletic Club that the XY. H. S. basketball teams owe their up-keep. It has stood behind them in all games. The Glee Club, also under the direction of Miss Miles, has given many pleasing vocal numbers and has been remarked upon as a well balanced chorus. These clubs tend to promote school and club loyalty and have proven themselves to be the most successful extra curricular activities ever taken up by XV. H. S. Wie are justly proud of our splendidly organized clubs. -ALFRED.-X REAMES. THE STUDENT COUNCIL Election Day! lYhat an exciting time for everybody. lYhy? XYe all want our favorites to represent us and do the best of their ability for us. At last our nerves are quieted and we are our normal selves again when we hear the reports: President, Harold Koontz: vice-president, Pearl Dorseyg secretary, Dorothy VViseley. The Student Council governs and leads us. They have done many fine things for us. The most important is the arranging of a contest between the different clubs on a good manner program. The training of good manners is one of the finest things a Freshman can accomplish. The second semester the following officers were elected: President. Harold Koontz: vice-president, 'XValter Renchg secretary, Mildred Xlfhipple. They decided to give a cer- tain number of points to each club bringing in an outside speaker to talk to the student body. -MILDRED VVHIPPLE. NIGHT SCHOOL Listen! VVell, what is this? lVhy. yes. we are talking about the greatest event of the year, when we all trudged to the school house through the downpour of rain. A special invitation had been given to every mother, father, aunt, uncle, cousin and friend in the city. School began at six forty-five o'clock. the hour which would accommodate everyone. All of the teachers and pupils responded to the call of night school. Both did double duty that day. indicative of the Washington High School Spirit. The Travel Group conducted chapel. The subject was on Some of the Sidelights from the Passion Play of Oberammergauf' The first, second, fifth and sixth periods of the day recited. The purpose in having this event was to show the regular routine of work, such as the passing of classes fwhich tangles somej and the regular class work. lNe hope that in the future not only the Xliashington High School students will follow our example, but all of the public schools of Findlay.

THE BLUE AND GOLD one could quite catch up with her when catching the ball. It would never pass her hands. Kathryn Giblin Miss Giblin was good in keeping her opponent, and was always ready to catch the ball whenever she could. The student body was very sorry when she left W. H. S. She was one of our best and loyal players. The whole school has missed her and so has the teachers. But we can remember her wonderful playing on our basketball team. Cora Otley Miss Otley was little, but mighty. She always played a steady game. VVhen we played boys' rules, she was always placed as running guard. Her tiny feet came Hitting around in front of her opponent, and then the ball went back to the forward to send to the basket. Our Subs We could always depend upon our subs. They were always full of pep, and they were always ready to obey. Next year we expect them to make a first team instead of a sub team. The Team R. Forward-J. Shortledge R. Forward-L. Perkins L.

Coach Evans Everything that we accomplished we owe to our coach. He has always been loyal to 'XVashington School. In this space we wish to show our appreciation for his work. We wish him success. Captain Rench As a pivot man he was hard to beat. He counted much in the team work and figured good in the scoring. Shortledge P Shortledge was the main. stay on the team. His outstanding feature was to cage baskets. He was the chief point getter and a dead shot on fouls. Martin Martin was a steady man and a fine shot. He always caged a basket when a point was needed to win. He teamed well with Shortledge. Schneider As running guard he played a good game. His guarding was good and always kept his man to a low score. K. Learey Learey was undoubtedly the best defensive man on the team. He had a great ability to get the ball off of the backboard and return it to our territory. D. Perlcins Don was a good guard and played well all season. He was our fighting guard. L. Perkins Due to his lightness. he did not play much. But when he played, he played with vim. He played well with M. Learey. M. Learey M. Learey was handicapped by his size. He is small but mighty. VVhen he got hold of the ball you might as well chalk up a basket. C. Hackenberger Hackenberger played a mighty good game all season as center. He counted for much in team-work and guarding. Firestone Firestone was a good running guard, always fighting for the ball and sticking to his 111311. The Subs Townsend. Ritter, Gohlke and Leach deserve honorable mention. They gave the lirst team a mighty hard race for their places. Page One Hundred -KARL LEAREY.
