Washington Union High School WASHINGTONIAN Page Twenty-Three CLASS HISTORY OF 1925 Early in the fall of 1921 we, a band of frightened and awkward Freshmen, gathered together for onr first day of high school life. It took ns a little while to get acquainted with the rest of the school, as even some of our own classmates were strangers, and there were some very, very, shy little girls in this class. Soon we all entered into the spirit of Old Washington High and forgot our meekness, and now we have become a model class. In athletics we have tried to do our part. During our first year several of our classmates made the first teams in the various sports. However, the second and third terms brought a bit of reputation to our athletic ability. We played hard, together with our fellow students, all striving toward the same goal—the hard-earned, honest victories for which Washington has been famous. As Freshmen and Sophomores, we were not lacking in social spirit. The two parties given by us our first year, one to the Ciirl’s League, the other to the school, were enjoyed by all those who attended. The fancy dress ball we gave the second year also proved a great success. As Juniors, we have not yet had an opportunity to demonstrate our ability in a social affair, but, judging from the past, we feel that the dinner we are going to give to the Seniors will be a memorable affair. The class of 1925 stands for scholarship and thrift. As to the latter, we have established a banking account in 192 3, which now amounts to almost one hundred dollars. With such a past we go forward to become a Senior Class that we hope will set standards worthy of the new school which we will dedicate, e will learn to love the new school, but there will always linger in our garden of memories the picture of the old Washington Union High School with its tree studded grounds. Aloha Ohe. “Faithful old school” you’ve earned it—rest. The officers of the Junior Class are: President, George Richards; Vice-President, Richard White; Secretary, Constance Lucio; Treasurer, Katherine Overacker.
