Graduates nf '41 It all started on the first brr-rr-ring of the eight-fifteen bell on an August day, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight. They were all there-the junior high school big shots -the clean, scrubbed- behind-the-ears look on the little boys' faces, the first timid lipstick on the earnest little girls' faces, the scared, yet determined ap- pearance. They, the fourteen- and fifteen- year old children, gazed at the freshly- pninted murals, the utilitarian classrooms, the unbelievable View of the Golden Gate from the third floor hall, and the empty, sandy stretches of campus, which, it was said,

Youth Learn each program. Some of the new talent found thisterm at ral- lies was that of Karl Willrader, who plays a boogie Woogie piano, Frank Loughery, famous for his recital of Casey at the Batg and Richard Carey, who played several violin concertos. Departing from the routine of game and class rallies, the Girls' Service Society and Eagle Society sponsored individual educational ralliesg Mr. Frank O'Brien, junior Council Di- vision, State Employment Office, spoke to the girls about future employment and preparations for a jobg Officer joseph Kane, San Francisco Police Department, spoke to the boys about safety and how schools and streets can be made safer. Dr. Everett R. Clinchy talked about Education and Human Relations at a rally in which all students participated. Following the Senior-Soph reception, which was handled by the high senior class officers, assisted by the student body officers, Washingtonians held their second victory rally cele- brating Winning the A,.A.A. league varsity basketball cham- pionship. The Indian was once again buried and the vic- tory plaque was locked safely in the trophy case until next year. Vfith victory cries still ringing in their ears, the L-10's started their lirst campaign. Posters saying Pick Up, Don't Scatter, and ash cans painted with the slogan Yours For A Clean School were only half the job. Daily radio broad- casts and bulletin notices informed students that the sophs were really working. After doing a swell job, the new- comers relaxed and enjoyed the fruits of their labor at their own dance. The high sophomores carried out a similar successful cam- paign for safety. Students patrolled the stairs and directed traffic, aided by signs giving directions about Up and Down stairs. Leadership The juniors worked together again, presenting A Day in the Tropics. The atmosphere presented by the Bower leis and wash dresses belied the San Francisco fog. Max Liss acted as master of ceremonies at the rally and presented a talented show. The day ended with a dance to which everyone was invited. The attendance drive sponsored by the L-12's was con- stantly brought to mind by notices and announcements. The low seniors celebrated the success of the drive with a Back to the Farm Day and bits of hayseed and straw were seen on every loyal L-12's costume. High seniors devoted their talents to a whole Senior Week. Starting the week with a bang at the rally Monday, the seniors announced their plans to the school and invited everyone to join the fun. Larry Keating was master of cere- monies at the rally and he presented a typical man on the street program, interviewing several seniors, and finally, the guest of honor, Herb Caen. Tuesday, the students took over all the executive positions and the teachers answered the questions. Principal john Contos, assisted by Dean of Girls Barbara Wilder, Dean of Boys Warren Townsend, Secretary Ruth Maltzer, and Senior Sponsor Howard Shields, ran the school for one day as they believed best. Wednesday the senior girls played baseball against the boys in the stadium. The game was followed by a picnic Thursday. Friday the school participated in a carnival and the end of a grand week was celebrated by everyone at a dance after school. A dance committee under the direction of Barbara Wilder planned all student body dances and for the first time the Hello Day dance was based on a Valentine theme. johnny Contos was responsible for the success of the ral- lies. All other officers did their jobs efficiently, adding to the activities of a term that will never be forgotten. .
