MARJORIE ASTREDO FRANK HULTMAN I.OIS SAMUEL TAD SAYLOR ELEANOR WORKEN Our First Graduates Five George Washington High School students completed the graduation requirements last June, and, although they finished school in three and a halt years, they will be graduated with the Decem- ber 1937 class. Marjorie Astredo entered Washington at the first of its history. She was very much interested in sports and so went out for swimming in her high junior and low senior years. Uppn notification of the completion of her high school requirements she en- rolled at the California School of Fine Arts which she is now attending. Marjorie’s ambition is to be an interior decorator. She would like to take up mechanical drawing and is also adept at painting and drawing. Frank Hultman went through high school study- ing hard so that he might attend the San Francisco Junior College sooner than the average student. Having chosen law as a career, he is going to attend Stanford University where he feels that he will have a better opportunity for fitting himself for his life’s work. Frank enjoys playing golf and is interested in such sports as football and basketball. He likes to collect football programs and messes’’ of tropical fish. Lois Samuel, the first elected vice president of the United Students of George Washington High School, enjoyed many activities during her stay here. Not only was she the president of the Girls' Service Society, but she was also one of the originators of that very useful code adopted by the girls of the school. Lois was one of the charter members of the society. She also served on the Building and Grounds Committee, was secretary of the Judicial Board, and helped make arrangements for the May Fete last term. Lois is now attending the California School of Fine Arts where she is studying to be a fashion designer. Among her hobbies we find: drawing, horseback riding, and dancing. Tad Saylor, who has just recently returned from a trip to Hawaii, is another of these students who completed the graduation requirements last term. He is very much interested in sports, especially boating. He enjoys going to the South End Rowing Club for a workout. Besides rowing. Tad finds great amusement in guns and sport hunting. Eleanor Worken came to George Washington from Lowell High School. Although majoring in French, her favorite teacher was Miss Haley. She is of a very talkative nature, especially in German and study. Upon leaving school she enrolled at San Francisco Junior College where she is now a special student During the lunch hour Eleanor works at the Park View Pharmacy, where many of our stu- dents spend the noon period. When she is out of junior college she will either attend the University of California or go to work. She would like very much to be a nurse but says that she will probably end by being a stenographer. She is very fond of outdoor sports, being adept at swimming and play- ing tennis and badminton. Eleanor also enjoys read- ing, walking in the park, and collecting charm bracelets. Mr. C ummings, principal, bids Graduate Frank Hultman farewell. P ige Tu emy-stren
