The biggest job of the year to be taken on by the A.S,B. was the erection of twin tennis courts on Washington street. The money for these courts was raised by the students, the clubs giving a large share of it. The All School play, a project of the Student Body, donated its proceeds along with the money from the Senior Play, 1945-6 has been the most successful all-around year Wa-Hi has seen for some time and we hope later years will be even more prosperous.
