OFFICERS spring 1965 The Spring 1965 term was filled with as much excitement, fun, and accomplish- ments as was the Fall term. The Student Body officers made this term one of the best and most memorable. Early in February the officers presented the Treasurer’s Rally which was a great hit and brilliant success. The officers characterized the Addams Family from tele- vision, and tried to persuade Pugsley Addams to buy a Student Body Card. The drive lasted several weeks and concluded with 92% of the Student Body buying cards. The next exciting event was the LlO welcome dance. It proved a huge success drawing over 500 students dancing to the jerk, philie, and many other popular dances. The Class of Fall 1967 added another tradition to George Washington. Yell Leaders were selected to represent Washington at all the forthcoming baseball games. The team appreciated their fine efforts and spirit. George Washington High School was again bestowed the great honor of the Award of Merit from the University of California for the highest grade point average from any high school in California from the graduating class of June 1962. To celebrate this occasion several graduates from the class returned to school for a Scholarship Rally. Junior and Senior Days were different this semester being subject to new' regulations. The dances were both successes drawing a substantial crowd from the student body. The drama department once again presented one of the greatest term plays seen at Washington. The Sound of Music was presented with vigor and enthusiasm and received a good response from its several performances. Two selections were presented on television Easter nite. The students of Washington should all be congratulated for the fine effort that they put forth for the May Festival. A long forgotten tradition of collecting paper back books to earn the May Festival w-as revived. A quota of 3100 books was set, but the students collected over 12,000. The May Festival was fun, exciting, and hilarious for all the students who attended the teacher’s rally and the events of the evening. The semester ended and the work of the officers ceased. Those who participated in the many events offered had many thrilling experiences.

Dan Francisco President Fall 1964 STUDENT BODY The Fall, 1964, semester at George Washington High School was filled with new ideas, hard work, and loads of fun. The Student Body Officers gave much time and effort to make this term one of Washington’s greatest. The year started off with a bang, as the biannual Treasurer’s Rally, presented by the officers, told a suspenseful and funny story of the Roaring 20’s and Elliot Mess. Following this kick-off, began the Student Body Card Drive, in which 93% of the Student Body purchased membership in the United Students of George Washington High School. Soon the football season got under way, and Washington proved to be a champion in every respect. Not only did we have a championship team who retained the Bell and won on Turkey Day, but we had championship spirit as well. Thanks to much hard work and planning, our rooting section was one to be proud of. The L10 class of Fall, 1964, under the guidance of the 2nd Vice President, worked hard to make their first semester at Washington a successful one. Many new activities were instigated, including LlO Song Girls and an LlO Booster Day. There’s no doubt that, with the great start this class got, they will go on to accomplish much while attending Washington. Perhaps one of the most significant achievements of the term was the reinstate- ment of successful Student Body dances. Noel was loads of fun for all who went. There is no doubt that this Christmas Dance set the pace for many Student Body dances to follow. As the term ended, it was clear that much had been accomplished. The installation of voting machines for elections and an after school dance for the LlO’s are only a few of the many new ideas which emerged in Fall, 1964. For the officers, whose greatest wish was to lead the school wisely and who worked hard for the success achieved, it was a term never to be forgotten.
