They train us so, in body and mind. That with the times we are never behind. They lead us and guide us and push us along. They praise us and scold us and give us the gong. I am only wee Contie, a mischievous sprite. But I know, as do others, they are plenty all right . FACULTY Designed by Charles Crutcher • f ,,J. r-k Ai THOMAS E. HUGHES Youth comes but once! But the thrill of being young, even for a short time, more than compensates for the fact that it never comes again. With romantic idealism directing the way, with physical fitness furnishing the urge, and with parents providing security, youth is blithe, happy, and gay. Like perpetual spring, the Spirit of Youth is everywhere at Washington. Little Contie is a most enthusiastic spectator at athletic rallies; he sits among the shouting, whistling throngs at football games; and he is vibrant, pulsating joy itself in our assembly plays and operas. He frolicks in the halls, and he flits about the Quad. He sits on yard benches and gambols among the flowers and shubbery. One man who knows Contie well, who has lived long and happily, who has passed through more than the average allotment of human experiences, testifies that Contie , the Spirit of Youth, found between the opening and closing lids of high school records, furnishes by far the greatest thrill in the whole span of life. Gray hair, dimmed eyes, tottering steps, and feeble voice con never make one old who perpetually keeps Contie as a heart companion.

No other honor be- stowed upon me could ever equal this one. I sincerely wish the best for Wash- ington and 1 know that Washington will continue to be one of the best schools in the city. I am proud to have served Wash- ington in any capacity. It is with hopes for its great achievements in the future that I say farewell. • As Father Time ticks away the sec- onds remaining in my high school career, my mind travels back over the treasured memories created by my three years at Washington. I recall the growth of the school from the little tent village on the hill to the fourth largest high school in the city. So, in sincere appreciation to that school, which has accorded me its highest office, I would like to extend to its student body a straight from the shoulder thanks for the most eventful five months of my life.

How often these words are spoken to the tip-toer by stern-looking persons with gigantic badges on their sweaters. This is how the self-government staff controls our actions, sparing only the high and mighty Seniors, who alone have the privilege of going up or down any stairways. Self-Government has its advantages, however, for the result is orderly halls. Contie, especially, is enthusiastic about the system for he states, Some people get on my nerves, but I refuse to have them on my feet! ROW 5: O.-huii. McDnnald, Pfrinindton, Griswold, Wimliich.

Oh, how will I ever get through this heavy traffic? wailed Contie one morning. Suddenly his face lighted as he saw a member of the Lafayettes coming to his assistance. I ' ll bet you ' re Colemen Slatcher, president of the Traffic Squad. Yes, smiled Coleman raising his right arm to stop the traffic. Thanks, beamed Contie. I ' ll sing your praises to Mr. Edwards, your sponsor, and to the other officers of the club, Tom Faltrick, vice- president; Eddie Durbin, secretary; and Fred Martin, supervisor. Ushering, collecting tickets, and maintaining order at assemblies, plays, football games, and commencement exercises are the duties of this division of Boys ' Self Government. Selected on the basis of ability, character, and dependability, members are chosen from applications given to Mr. Andresen, faculty sponsor. The organization is divided into two shifts, each working at different assemblies. Head of the squad for winter semester was Dale Snyder; summer semester, Dick Baker. Off Duty CO Guiding the league this spring to the fulfillment of its aim, to fos- ter friendship among the girls, were Barbara McConnell, presi- dent; Parkie Elston, vice-presi- dent; Mary Rossoman, secretary; and Mary Rankin, treasurer. For the winter term the officers were Mary Jane Hoeft, president; Bar- bara McConnell, vice-president; Mary Wilson, secretary, and Esther Williams, treasurer. Each May one week is set aside for Girls ' Week. Tournaments, races, and a fashion show are a few of the activities planned for that week ' s festivities. ROW 4: Shea, Mosbacher.

To help new girls at the beginning of the semester and to act as ushers and hostesses at Girls ' League functions are the duties of the Hospitality Committee. It is under the sponsorship of K4iss Antonia Sintes. The School Committee is rather a general one, cooperating with, or intro- ducing, projects that will benefit the school as a whole. In the fall semester this group promoted a courtesy week which gained much recognition. They also make a practice of writing notes to girls who are ill. The sponsor is Miss Nora Milach and the chairman, Virginia Auer. Primarily interested in welfare work is the Service Committee. With Miss Mignonette Miquel as faculty adviser, the members sponsor a Needlework Guild campaign every fall. It is preceded in the spring by a notions drive, the proceeds of which are added to the Guild contribution. They also supervise the preparation of Christmas baskets during the holiday season. June Robbins has been this semester ' s chairman. Every term some type of show is given to raise money to carry on this welfare work. It is the duty of the Program Committee, under the leadership of Miss Helen HoUoway and June Barnett, to arrange it. M M C l Bear Flag Revolts The Boys ' League marches on, with Contie as its mascot. Under the direction of Prexy Bud Fisher, each homeroom sends six fighting demons to bring back glory and honor by winning the inter-homeroom volley ball tournament, the prize being a free picture in Contie ' s book, the Con- tinental. Besides their tournaments, the boys have private shows, much to the chagrin of the girls. These assemblies are for a worthy cause, however, the purpose of most of them bemg to raise money for injured athletes or to buy new athletic equipment. The executive offices are handled by Bud Fisher, president; Henry Dahl, vice-president; and Will Montgomery, secretary-treasurer. Last term ' s officers were Harold James, president; Chuck Watters, vice-president; and Bud Fisher, secretary-treasurer.

This may sound like the orders of a movie director, but in real- ity is it the unwritten motto of the library staff. Checking books out and maintaining silence are the pri- mary functions of the library staff, but they also make the library an institution at Wash- ington, for because of its pleas- ant surroundings and interest- ing exhibits, many students like to linger there, browsing among the books. In addition to the regular store of books and magazines, the Washington library is proud to possess the Dawson collec- tion of rare books, and a Car- negie collection of valuable books and prints. tf ROW 1: Montgomery.

F. o H H O While peeking through files, books and ledgers, our little friend, Contie, discovered that the Commercial depart- ment issues the only departmental paper in the school, the Dictator. The important activities, the improvements, and the changes made in the depart- ment are published in this paper, thus keeping the students and faculty in close contact with each other. Althea Ash was editor-in-chief; Ruth Shaffer, assistant editor; Jean Osborne, circulation manager; Jayne McCall, head reporter; Nita Adams, Beverly June Ash, Marjorie Carnes, Doris Cau- vel, Mary Schaaf and Lura Schivley, assistant reporters. Mr. Ralph Bauer sponsors the paper. Kenneth Sparrowk Lawrence Malin ADV. M G R EDITORS Scurrying reporters, careful copyreaders, watched over by eager editors, could be found at various times during the day in bungalow 26, the hideout of the Surveyor Staff. Gathering and writing up news is the work of this group. All of this results in the Surveyor, Washington ' s weekly newspaper, which, in- cidentally, has changed its pub- lication day from Friday to Wednesday. The editor of the Winter se- mester was Kenny Sparrowk, with Betty Ruth Hartley as fea- ture editor, Louise Tracy as news editor, Dale Snyder as sports editor, and Lawrence Malin as advertising manager. The summer staff was head- ed by Bill Cofield as editor. The other editors were changed to page editors, Roger Johnson taking page two, Bernard Su- rasky, page three, and Law- rence Malin, page four. Bob Bacon was advertising man- ager. Bill Cofield Louise Tracy NEWS ED C 3 o ROW 3: ROW 2: ROW 1: Harmon. Johnson, M.; Johnson, R.; Johnston, Surasky, Bacon. Lord, Roger Johnson.

Young. Mr. Potter. Candid Capers Photography, as you might guess, is the under- lying motive of this club, its principles and proper- ties being taught by Mr. Potter, sponsor of the group. Taking shots of the school from all angles is a favor- ite pastime of the club, and they could show you some striking pictures of the school buildings. In their collection are such odd shots as a view looking up the flagpole and a slant picture of the audi- torium. Another subject for their cameras is the life of the campus, scenes of which they are always photo- graphing. Students as they appear at school in their daily activities are snapped. Sport events, football, track become history on the film of this group. Thus by means of the camera, the deeds and events that have happened during the year at Wash- ington are locked in the pictures taken by these stu- dents. This is a great service to the school, even though it doesn ' t carry with it a great deal of glory. This organization was started this year because of the many students interested in photography, al- though the present candid camera craze has had much to do with its founding. Mr. Potter, the physics teacher, assumed the sponsorship and for the past year has explained the mysteries of light and photog- raphy to the group. The president of the candid camera carriers was Bill Murphy; the vice president was Clair Young; and the secretary-treasurer was June Farrow. tf ROW 4: Daniels. Partridge. JMartin. James.

Believers in the purpose of the old Roman guards, the Praetorians, who were chosen for their outstanding loyalty to the Roman republic, a group, under the leadership of Cloyd Prittie, founded the fourth social club at Washington and, by contracting Praetorian, chose Pry-Ton as their name. All this information was gathered through the courtesy of Mr. George A. Homrighausen and Mr. Harold Axe, sponsors. Although the Pry-Tons are a social group, their serious motives are to foster a finer school spirit among the students, to develop the members into citizens with high ideals who will further the progress of their community, to render school service, and to set a good example before the students. Contie talked to Ed Shadwell, president, about the Pry- Tons. It seems that Contie has been having a hard time making up his mind which club to join. During the course of the conversation he learned that Ed ' s helpers have been Bill Cofield, vice-president; Wayne Fisher, secretary; Joe Booth, treasurer; Bart Baker, the every ready sergeant-at- arms; Harold Penny Pennington, chaplain; and Dwain Bowen, scribe. When the Admirals reigned supreme, officers included Bobbie James, president; Ned Baker, vice-president; Frank Bacon, secretary; Ed Greathead, treasurer; Wayne Fisher, sergeant-at-arms; Ed Shadwell, chaplain; and Bill Ard, scribe. u B B ROW 3: Miss Kohler (Co-Sponsor).

Have you ever wondereid about the officers and spon- sors of those sophisticated under-debutantes who so often have been seen tripping up to bungalow 22 and dashing inside to hold an all-important meeting? Contie wondered about it, too; so one day he slipped in through a back window and bit by bit learned that the officers were Gerry Crissey, president; Helen MacDougall, vice-presi- dent; Betty Smock, recording-secretary; Dorothy Brown, corresponding-secretary; Margery Schwartzer, treasurer; Shirley Bright, sergeant-at-arms; Elizabeth Perl, chap- lain; and Ruth Gittes, historian. These eight blue-sweatered cadets were preceded by Dorothy Lutz, president; Helen MacDougall, vice-presi- dent; Maxine Gillespie, recording-secretary; Jeanne Angil- ly, corresponding secretary; Louise Tracy, treasurer; Betty Smock, sergeant-at-arms; and Barbara Crawford, histor- ian. Because the office of chaplain is a new one, there was no such officer in the fall. Later Contie learned from Mrs. Mary Christine Davies, sponsor, that the two purposes of this social club are to serve the school by being helpful to teachers and students and to create a friendly feeling among the girls and boys. Miss Althea Kohler is their newly elected co-sponsor. K U B ROW 3: Oakley. Malin. Thoma. Cottam. Ingram. Tunison. Henderson. Schlappi. Zaworka, ROW 2: Anderson. Pederson. Frost. Dapper. Gibson. Dahl.

Although the understanding of their name re- quires a bit of imagination, Washington ' s Key Club members are all very proud of their organization and did not hesitate to reveal a great many facts to a very snoopy little Contie. Dick Baker talked the most, but this Viras quite all right because Dick was Key Club president this last term. He was explaining to Contie that the Key Club used to be called the Hi-Y, since it was under the auspices of the Y.M.C.A. Then Wilbur McElroy, vice president, interrupted Dick to remind him to tell Contie about Clean-Up Week. Clean-Up Week, sponsored semi-annually by the Key Club, serves as a reminder to the student body that a clean campus is very attractive. However, Frank Ripsinski, secretary; Lester Redding, treasurer; and Cliff Dapper, chaplain, complain that some cam- pus funsters, orally and by means of poster signs, tr- advised folks to Clean up the Keys . And this was a I bit provoking. At Contie ' s request, the names of last term ' s offi- cers were revealed. They proved to be Dale Snyder, president; Bryan Stevens, vice president; Tom Boyle, secretary; Dick Baker, treasurer; and Kenny Spar- rowk, chaplain. Mr. Lyman E. Edwards, serving as sponsor for many years, declared himself fortunate to be able to obtain a co-sponsor in the person of Mr. Ralph Bauer, Commerce department head. Nowak. Clark.

As one member earnestly put it, the purpose of the Tri-Y is to promote school service, well balanced in religion, knowledge, social life, and athletics, and to delevop the ideal girl. Officers of Washington ' s Tri-Y this term have been Mary Jane Hoeft, president; Mary Rossoman, vice president; Norma Martinez, secretary; June Robbins, chaplain; Elizabeth Fodor, treasurer; and Marilyn Taufer, historian. June Bowers represents Washing- ton at inter club councils this term succeeding Esther Williams. Last semester ' s officers were Beverly Hines, pres- ident; Edith Phillips, vice president; Mary Rossoman, secretary; Edith Beveridge, treasurer; Anne Grassl, chaplain; and Elza Badger, historian. Sponsors of the Tri-Y, Mrs. Helen Spears and Miss Nora Milach, explained to Contie that the triangular emblem stands for knowledge, health, and purity of soul. Tri-Y stands for truth, reaching for higher goals, impartiality in judgment, and youthfulness in purpose. u M A Pillow, Please ■ ROW 4: R. Baughn, Herron. Bales. Dick. Bonnell. TInomas, B.

The purpose of this group is to serve the school. Chief among their accomplishments the past year was their subscribing, first among the social clubs, one hun- dred per cent to the Surveyor, and working with the Co-Eds to sponsor the annual skating party. The meaning of their emblem, which causes so much wonderment, was explained to Contie, who had decided to satisfy his curiosity, by Lloyd Mannes, club prexy. The tower stands for strength, the spires for courage and character, and the shield for honor. The skillful bowmen in Robin Hood ' s band suggested the name which the Washington lads have claimed for their own. Various and sundry bits of information were offered by Lloyd ' s fellow officers who are: Bill Munkres, vice president, Floyd Prince, secretary; Bob Burke, treas- urer; Bruce Griffith, chaplain; and Ralph Baughn, ser- geant-at-arms. Headed by Jack Waddell, president, fall officers in- cluded Tommy Tanaka, vice president; Warren Ran- dall, secretary; Lloyd Mannes, treasurer; Alton Dick, chaplain; and Bill Munkres, sergeant-at-arms. 68 ROW 4: Zimmerman, Nance, Mitchell, Mrs. Dunn Smith, Miss Fitzpatrick, Merino.

' Distinctively different are the clever emblems of the Co-Eds. The . j ' ' P silhouette of a very young girl, charmingly representative of char ' 1r o That Old Feeling acter, as well as fun, exemplifies Washington ' s next-to-newest social club. In years gone by, according to Mrs. Marie Dunn-Smith, sponsor, and Miss Jane Fitzpatrick, co-sponsor, the official name of this group was Air Co-Eds. However, as Contie cleverly put it, the air thinned a bit and now they claim only Co-Eds as their title. The group has for its president Betty Bryan; vice-president, Betty Brewer; secretary, Ethel Burress; treasurer, Nita Mae Adams; chaplain, Florence Rehers; historian, Theresa Haggerty; and ser- geant-at-arms, Virginia Eaton. • With Lulu Almany as presiding officer last term, other officials were Anna Butler, vice-president; Jean Grieve, secretary; Margaret Rehers, trea surer; Florence Rehers, chaplain; Ethel Burress, histor- ian; and Virginia Eaton, sergeant-at-arms. This up and coming organization works toward the betterment of the school by conduct and good citizenship. That they are also interested in promoting entertainment and fun is proved by their sponsoring (together with their brother club members, the Yeomen) the all-school skating parties. This affair, attended by droves of Washington students and teachers, is one of the season ' s social highlights, in the opinion of Contie, although he frankly admits that he, because of his insignifi- cant size, never had quite the attention he should have had. 69 ROW 4: Griffith.

X The derivation of its name from an old Greek word meaning brothers suggests the aim towards which the Adelphian Club strives. Believing the solution for world peace lies in breaking down the barriers of race and creed, the members hope to achieve an understanding among the youth of all nations, upon whose shoulders will rest the future security of the world. Contie, himself, has served on the correspon- dence, research, service, and program committees, exchanging portfolios with other countries and col- lecting data on current international problems. Leading the group ' s activities have been Ed Shadwell, president; Viola Leggett, vice president; Bernice Nelson, secretary; Frank Cookson, treasurer; Kemper Howell, assistant treasurer; Vera Preston, publicity chairman; Charlotte Ferris, historian; and Millard Gaskal, sergeant-at-arms. Winter prexy was Louis Fourcroy. Faculty advisors have been Mr. Duncan, Mr. Stodei, and Mrs. Moody. A N The Japanese Adelphian club is inspired by the ideal of welding the Japanese students together and helping them find their places in V ashington High School. Sponsored by Miss Verle Morrow, this group tries to encourage the Japanese students to enter into school activities. Soc ' al activities are also on the calendar of the club; thus the students are brought closer together. They hold meetings with Japanese clubs of other schools to extend their social functions beyond Wash- ington. World friendship plays another important part in the club, as the mem.bers are constantly striving for a better understanding of others. Tommy Tanaka served as president for both semes- ters, as did Kio shi Horino, boys ' vice-president. Mary Furushima was the winter semester ' s girls ' vice-presi- dent, while Mary Asamoto acted as treasurer, and Francis Fujino served as secretary. On the summer ' s list of officers was Mary Asamoto, who had risen to girls ' vice-president; Nagiko Tanahe, treasurer and Fuji Ihara, secretary. td r X ROW 4: Yamane. M., Hamaji. R., Morrkawa. M..

A Summons Sausages and pretzels are a favorite with Contie, as well as with members of the German Club. The German Club was one of the smallest classes in school, numbering only twenty-two members. Because of their small size the club did not elect officers for the fall semester. But for the spring semester they were Leland Ashman, president; Robert Miller, vice-president; Katharine MacMaster, secretary; and Myrtle Evans, treasurer. Poor Contie thought his eyes were playing tricks upon him when he was unable to decipher several articles printed in a recent supplement to the Surveyor. It was the Linguist that baffled him, for he has, as you may have guessed, neglected his language studies. For just such people, some of the articles are written in English; but the majority are in French, Latin, Spanish, and German. Editing the spring publication were Lawrence Malin, editor- in-chief; Goldie Kimmel, Randall Henderson, Jean Martin, Roberta Nellor, Roma Ratner, Louise Hartshorn, Leah Brown, and Leland Ashman, associate editors. Louise Tracy was editor-in-chief of the December issue. X CO CO ZiXitUMjtmJL. . ' eiSaSimiilBmmisSavtmai. sX ainfmav aaavtai ' erK ' . ROW 5: Ross. Malin, Roman. M,.tlirn, Didra. Williams. Walanabe.

If Ferdinand the Bull is an example of Spanish life and literature, then members of the El Circulo Castellano have the right idea. Each year at the language banquet, members of the fair sex of the Spanish Club don mantillas and play castinets to bring back the romance of old Spain. It is even said that they frequently gorge themselves with tamales and tortillas in hopes that the spicy food will inspire them on the morrow ' s test. Just as in America, mannerisms of speech vary from the slow drawling Southern tongue to the crisp, concise tones of a New Englander, so does the Spanish language vary. As Spanish is spoken not only in Spain but in Mexico and South America as well, it is therefore even more difficult for Spanish students to learn these various dialects. They, however, complain little and keep studying. Guiding their adventures into Spanish life and literature are Carlos Van Der Hans, president; Helen Holden, vice-president; Elizabeth Whitfield, secretary; John Falxa, treasurer; and Donald Van Treece, sergeant-at-arms. Last term ' s officers were Joyce Given, president; Louise Tracy, vice-president; Twila Spencer, secretary; Lyle Wayland, treasurer; Floyd Prince, sergeant-at- arms; and Betty Heath, song chairman. Oo, la! la! The French language certainly has its charms. With songs and puzzles, mem- bers of the Entre Nous relax between verb con- jugations. Their presidents were Betty Ruth Hartley, W ' 38, and Betty Partridge, S ' 38. While the French Club munch their eclairs chocolates our Latin scholars bring back the glory that was Rome. At Washington the Cael- icolae have a scholarly reputation, but their forebear, Julius Caesar, would be puzzled at the difficulties Latin presents to them.

Formed to use this secret, is the Fresco Club, which, under the direc- tion of Mr. Jones, practices this ancient art. The members find that it gives them good prac- tice in large scale art work. In addition, their work helps to beautify the school. The presi- dent of these Michaelangelos was Ruth Gittes; vice president, Lila Brun; secretary, Charles Crutcher; and historian, Ruth Le Masters.

The sponsor was Mrs. Butler. 9 c The BoyS ' Glee Club, in low- er tones of bass and tenor, join their voices to the sopranos of the Girls ' Glee Club in the ma- jor musical offering at Wash- ington, the operetta. They are trained by Mrs. Mary C. Da- vies. In addition to their work in the operetta, the Boys ' Glee Club sings at graduation, P.-T. A. meetings, and many other programs. Officers for this term were president, Harold Trigg; vice-president, Paul Soderburg; secretary. Jack Loring; and ser- geant-at-arms, John Mallonee. Chosen from the Glee Club by Mrs. Mary C. Davies, the Boys ' Double Quartet perform at various programs through- out the year. They are chosen both for their voices and for their willingness to work. This year the Quartet was composed of Bob Bacon, Paul Soderburg, Eldon Hoover, David Shelly, George Mayle, Charles Esco- var, George Casey, and Ed- ward Petty. 1 ■ O V d Cs O ROW 4 ROW 3 ROW 2 ROW 1 Brown.

To accomplish this, they rehearse many long hours under the direction of Mrs. Olga Sutherland. Besides producing the operetta, the girls sing at graduation and at many other school programs. This year they sang over various radio broadcasts. Officers for the semester were president, Gerry Crissey; secretary, June Bowers; librarians, lolene Keith, Georgiana Schuck, and Eileen James. The three girls, Virginia Vickers, Marilyn Hill, and Edith Knauss, who compose the Girls ' Trio were chosen from the Girls ' Glee Club by Mrs. Olga Suthedand. The Trio, like the Double Quartet, practices at noontime. Thoroughix must they practice, too, for at all their programs they give a performance of which Washington may well be proud. They, too, scmg crwa ' from school a great deal, this semester, winning much praise at every appearance. The Vocational Orchestra, conducted by Mr. Alexander J. Smi-th, plays for Washington the swing music of today. This orchestra is or- ganized like any other modern dance band, having the same type of instruments and playing the same type of music. In addition to playing just plain swing music for the dances and shows, the Vocational Or- chestra plays every kind of music from the Weddmg March to ' . ' The Old Grey Mare for our regular Thursday rallies. The Senior Orchestra, conducted by Mrs. Lillian Elliot, plays for Washington the undying classical music of Bach, Beethoven, Handel, and Schubert. They give their renditions of these famous composers ' music at numerous programs during the semester. But probably the two most important affairs for v hich they play are the operetta and commencement. ROW 3 ROW 2 ROW 1 Seybert, Dangler. Mr. Smith, Cousins. Mott, Beane. Lee. Jaeger. Burnside.

Everyday under the direction of Mrs. Frances Ross, their voices are trained in preparation for Glee Club singing. In addition to receiving training in voice, the girls also learn to appreciate good music, for in this club the doors of the musical world are opened wide and each member is given a look inside. The Madrigal Club offers to any boy an opportunity to express the song in his soul; for this organization is devoted to those boys who can, and like, to sing. Started long ago, when Washington was in its infancy, the Madrigal Club has survived the years, and is at present a finely organized group under the direction of Mrs. Lillian Elliot.

But they do more than just that. They also take care of properties and costumes. Robert Clark was chairman of the group with Don Frost as assistant. In charge of properties was Milton Meyer with Bonnie Barrett handling costumes and Cliff Dapper controlling paints and equipment. The group waz under the direction of Mrs. Ahrens. Age, race, or size mean nothing to the misses of the Make Up Crew, who, armed only with powder puffs, pencils, paint, and a few other assorted materials, creaie any type of character desired. The manageinwas Perry Demas with Jacqueline Moody serv- ing as secretary. RADIO U I L D We ' re on the air was this year ' s cry of the Radio Guild, who have given sev- eral performances on vari- ous radio stations. But more important to the school was their filling in at aud calls, their perform- ances proving to be very tasty fillers . Divided into two groups, music and drama, they per- formed as the names imply. Heading the drama division was Mary Ellen Ryan, while leading the music group wa j Leslie Baxter. Over them all was Harold Trigg, director and leading spirit of ttie group. The Guild is spon- sored by Mr. Walter. ROW 4: Smith. R.; Huron, Boyd, Shaffer, Steacy. Petty. Bacon.

But to a member of the Geology Club they represent a definite formation, probably caused a few millions of years ago when the earth was cooling. Digging among the rocks and probing into their history, age, and other thmgs personal to young rocks, is a favorite pastime of these boys. The club was just formed this year as there were so many students interested in geology. Mr, Nott accepted the sponsorship of the group and has been teaching the group the fundamentals of geology. Field trips have played an important part in the activities of the club, the most important one being to Death Valley. The officers of the geological aggregation are: Leslie August, president; George Mayle, vice-president; Leah Brown, secretary-treasurer. Just Playful .)r LITTLE THEATRE GROUP ROW 4: White, Hamilton.

Besides actually studying and acting in the plays of Shakespeare and contemporary authors, they further their knowl- edge by going, as a group, to view the performances of others, both professional and amateur. President of this organization for the summer term was John Soovajian ; with Bette McKinley, vice-president; Jane Howarth, secretary-treasurer; Chris Lyle, sergeant-at-arms; Gerry Handley, hostess; and Arnold Johnston, host. Offering no main dramatic productions such as So This Is London and First Lady which were given in the winter semes- ter, the summer class busied itself furnishing the dramatic part of various projects, both for school programs and outside affairs. They were especially commended for their noteworthy work in the Girls ' League Talent show and for a program, perpared for the Kiwanis Club, that gained much recognition. Selected to represent the group at the Southern California Shakespearian Festival was John Soovajian, who fulfilled their expectations by winning first place. Fred Snedeker was the winter prexy with Miss Helen Hol- loway directing. Ham-let  FIRST LADY CO O H C 3 c a H. M. S. . I N A F P Ry f o o !z; d w KNIGHTS AND LADIES ENTERTAINMENT U i] H I!

Schill, Larson, Mr. Weiss, Shocking Contie cautiously poked his head into a large room. Hm-m, he mused, this must be the electric shop. Boy, this is where I shine. Soon he was pushing every button and pulling every switch he could lay his hands on. Let me see, he murmured, what do they do in an electric shop anyway? Oh yes, they mend appli- ance s, and build and mend radios. Just then he spotted a radio which was being re- paired. I ' d make a swell radio expert, he grinned as he grabbed a screw driver and set to work. I ' m just the type. Soon the insides of the radio sprawled all over the bench. Pop! went a tube on the floor. Oh well, this radio won ' t need a power tube when I get through working on it anyway, he muttered. Where did you come from? demanded Mr. Weiss, the instructor. At that Contie turned and ran. Grab him, boys, cried Mr. Weiss. He ' s wrecking our shop. But Contie escaped to seek amusement in other new and interesting fields. 94 Airynuthics Whr-r-r! Whr-r-r! At this strange sound Con- tie ' s eyes grew larger than saucers. Scamper- ing across the campus, he poked his inquisitive nose int o a large room containing huge bird- like objects. His curiosity got the better of him and he tip-toed into the room. Mr. Hairgrove, the instructor, eyed the intruder questioningly as the shop foreman stepped up to intercept him. Oh, said Contie with a start. You ' re Frank Weller, foreman of the much famed aeronau- tics class. Now I know where I am. Say, what do you do in this place anyway? Well, said Frank, reflectively, we learn airplane construction, the principles which make airplanes fly, and we overhaul and repair motors, and all that sort of stuff. Why the boys become so skilled that when they graduate they are taken up immediately by aeronautical concerns. Oh yes, interrupted Contie excitedly, I remember now! Carl Tamerin, last semester ' s foreman, told me something about it. He said this was the first class of its kind in the city system. I ' ll bet every school wishes it had such a class. Gosh, this class is gaining so in popu- larity I guess I ' d better sign up now because I surely want to be an aviator. AERONAUTICS ROW 3: Woodman. Bosley. Nickloff. Weiss. Oppel. Flagg. Mosbacker.

Promoting vocational interest in metal and leather work is the purpose of the craft guild, said Pop Anderson, its sponsor. PHOTOGRAPHERS Madly dashing around the campus, lugging cameras, flash bulbs, and other necessary equipment, these efficient and rushed picture-takers play an important part in producing the Continental. Besides photographing the usual group pictures of clubs, they have spent much extra time getting many candid naps of students, both in athletic events and everyday activities. They also are responsible for photographing the still figures that represent all phases of school life. Contie followed these busy men on their regular schedule one day rushing from the quad, to the art building, the gym, and finally to the studio where they developed and printed their films, and he reports that they must be miracle men. Camera Crackers WINNERS OF GLORY If I were a mortal instead of a sprite, I ' d make every effort to always do right. I ' d study my books and serve my school, Thus keeping myself from the dunce ' s stool. I ' d pile up merits and make such a mark, On the road to glory I ' d soon embark. Our Winners of Glory have such renown That each deserves a golden crown. So we ' ll sing their praises, and hope and pray We ' ll all be like them on some future day. HONOR Designed by June Weir ---■ ' ( fi V r V -tS ' N ' ■ .;i CO pq U U The greatest honor which can be won by a high school student is the Ephebian award. The Ephebian society is composed of students who are outstanding in scholarship, citizenship, character, and leadership. The Ephebians are chosen from the graduating class in the ratio of one to every forty graduates. The Ephebian Society of Los Angeles was started twenty years ago by the then superintendent of schools. Dr. Albert Shields. Its aim is civic betterment, and each member takes an oath to help attain this ideal. The award, a gold ring with the Ephebians ' seal on it, is presented at commencement.

Their many and varied activities keep them inter- ested in the school ' s affairs. They are a vital part of the school life and make an outstanding contribution to it. Scholarship Week is the high light of the semester. At this time all schol- arship students are given senior privileges, and there are special as- semblies and a banquet. The winter semester ' s officers were Betty Ruth Hartley, president; Frank Bacon, vice-president; Barbara Craw- ford, corresponding secretary; and Louise Tracy, recording secretary. During the spring semester Gayle Blecksmith was president; Dick Baker, vice-president; June Bowers, recording secretary; Bob Partridge, treasurer; Ruth Joy, corresponding secretary; and Joe Zaworka, publicity chairman.

It is given after the student has been in the society two semesters and has served the school and the society in some way.

They find time, however, to turn from their test tubes and perform a great service by keeping the laboratory in shape. President of the summer test tube explorers was Lloyd Mannes.

The winter officers were: president, Ann Grassl; vice-president, Bernice Keys; recording secretary, Maxine Taylor, and secretary-treasurer, Peggy McConville.

Many exciting games were played before they achieved their final victory. Play ball! These two words are music to the ears of base- ball players at Washington, those girls who, under the guid- ance of Paulette Schwarz, their G.A.A. manager, are playing excellent ball, always with the hope that they may be champs.

Attaining fame in the volleyball world is quite a task, as this is a game at which a great percentage of girls excel. Mary Isgrig ' s team, however, proved that each member was an expert at this popular game. ' Chest out, shoulders back, chin in — not exercise, but archery, a sport comparatively new to Washington. Under the supervision of Miss Toot, the girls ' G.A.A. manager, it has proved itself worthy of a longer stay because of its helpfulness. Every Thursday and Friday at the Harvard and Manchester playgrounds may be seen those tennis-minded individuals of Washington who wield their racquets under the capable management of Jean Philips. Last term Roberta Nellor was the manager who set the girls ' standards. Look at the birdie! is used not only photographically speaking, but also in the popular game of badminton.

Washington 7, Poly 6 The line smashes of Jack Shay coupled with accu- rate place-kicking of Hank Dahl enabled the Wash- ington gridders to nab a close decision over the Poly Parrots in the first league game of the season. Washington 0, Manual Arts 25 Although outclassed by the championship-bound Toilers, the scrappy Wash- ington eleven fought to the final whistle in a game much more even than the score would indi- cate.

However, before the year ' s festiv- ities came to a close, the Bees not only worked their way into a tie for second place in the Southern loop, but also administered a 20-to-7 thumping to Inglewood, Bay circuit kingpins. Ace pigskinners were Jerry Wood, Dale Snyder, Captain Gene John- son, Bob Skeen, and Jimmy Mel- drum. GOOF FOOTBALL This year ' s goof squad, the pur- pose of which is to teach pigskin beginners the fundamentals of the game, was one of the most prom- ising and best organized in school history.

B K B L ■ u Despite the ineligibility of several top-notch General cagers, Coach Ed Carmichael ' s varsity five finished out of the cellar for the first time since they entered the Southern League — over four years ago. Two games won, eight lost, was their record, putting them one step ahead of the unvictorious Poly Parrots. The outfit was captained by Emmett Herbert, Lefty the Judge McElroy was voted the most valuable player, and three-year letterman Bryan Stephens was high point scorer. Most improved man on the squad was Gale Rhordanz. Others who earned the eight-inch W were Jack Stevenson, Bill Wall, George Stockert, Bob Cottam, and manager Bill Gray. Rhordanz is the only returning letterman. The B, C, and D hoop teams experienced only medi- ocre results, although they developed some promising material for future varsity squads. The lightweights were undoubtedly the most impres- sive quintet representing Washington, but due to the loss of several close frays, they didn ' t wind up atop the Southern League heap. The C ' s started out like a house afire, then relented, and finally ended up in second place. The Dee-men ran through an abbreviated season without a victory.

Under the new tutelage of Coach Fults, the Surveyors concluded the ' 38 session with five victories in six con- tests, losing only to Fremont. The Southern loop initiated the two- round season this year, each team get- ting two cracks at every opponent. The local horsehiders come through the first round with an unmarred slate. However, opening the second half, the Fultsmen, minus the services of influenza - stricken Lefty McElroy, dropped their first tilt, suffering the loss at the hands of traditional rival Fremont, 3 to 2, in an extra-inning contest. Far and away the outstanding local sport aggregation of the year was Coach Andrew Stodel ' s lightweight baseball team, which came through a schedule of fifteen games with exactly fifteen victories.

After winning a practice meet with Garfield, they took two drubbings at the hands of Manual Arts and Jeffer- son, the scores being 71-33 and 73-31, respectively. Then they came back and beat Polytechnic by 581 2 to 451 2- Hunt- ington Park and Fremont are yet to be met. Larry Iron Man Owen will un- doubtedly be high point man, and along with Captain Bill Ard in the high jump, Dick Baker in the 880 , Ronnie Bryant, eleventh grade sprinter, and Bill Kinman, sensational tenth grade miler, is one of our outstanding men. Other prospective lettermen are Dwain Bowen, Joe Buccola, Henry Dahl, Bob Flagg, Lawrence Johnson, Paul Monroe, Jack Stephenson, and Jack Waddell. R K ROW 3: Coach Hcilman. Henderson. Baker. B..

That seems to be the slogan of the track team this year, as the B track men are rating .500 per cent in games lost and won as this copy goes to press. They started the season by trouncing Garfield. Then they dropped two successive meets to Jefferson and Manual Arts, the scores rivaling those of the varsity. In the Poly meet, they got back into true form and won. Probable lettermen are Harold James, Hallie Braley, Dean Thirkill, George Barnes, Budgie Sargent, Dan Morrill, Joe Levine, Tom Walker, and George Harbin. C tracksters, like the varsity and B ' s , rate .500 per cent, having won two meets and lost two. There are many stars among the little men, who will prob- ably constitute the nucleus of the varsity track team two years hence. Among these men are Benesh, Urranaga, Math- ews, Gonderman, Kolster, Johnson, and Dobbs. ROW 3: Coach Heilman, Cavanauqh. Brawders, Morrow, Sloan. Carter. Bransen, Cooley, Waddell Haley.

A crushing 7-to-O defeat at the hands of city champion Manual Arts, and a .667 tune-up season record were chalked up on the tennis team ' s slate when Annual copy embarked for the printer. As the Continental went to press, Coach Burgess ' golf team was on the eve of teeing off for its league season. With three victories to their credit in four practice contests, Mr. Burgess held high hopes for a loop championship. Manual Arts and Huntington Park were classed as possible conquerors. i !•. Mathisen Redding For the second straight year Washington ranked sky high among the city ' s gym teams. Entering competition with virtually the same lads that copped the city crown last year, the Generals made a strong bid to repeat this season, only to lose out to the powerful Toiler musclemen. Outstanding performers were Jack Zenor, Bill Rice, Jerry Schlappi, Milt Weinstein, Don Douglas, Jack Geddes, Bill Ard, and Gordy Best. cn«T« hsSC Zenor. Schfappi Douglas. Fleischer Zaworka.
