Zlfashxkggbro, wg? 1 Continentals JQYWS i The winning tradition of Washington High School athletics is probably the most Widely known of all its traditions. Over the past 40 years Wash- ington athletes have captured such coveted awards as being named city, sectional, regional, and state champs in many sports. Most of the awards re- ceived were team awards. However, along with Washington's great teams many fine individual ath- letes have excelled in sports such as wrestling, track, tennis, and golf. The Continentals have reached the top spot in sports three times with the 1961 State golf title, the 1965 State basketball championship, and the State football crown this year. The success of Washington's athletic endeavors can be attributed to the great coaching staffs that have always been present here. Coaching plays a vital role in any suc- cess in the field of athletics. At Washington, the coaching has been superb, and the results have been nationally noted. GRIDIRON GREATS. . .This band of Continentals, coached by Mr. Henry Bogue, set a school record in 1931 when they rolled up 306 points in 10 games. This was the highest total number of points ever scored by a Washington team. The squad finished with a 9-1 record, rolling up 69 points in a game with Sheridan.
