The first few days were spent in trying to find our class rooms, and also trying ' to keep away from upper classmen. In a few weeks we had become accustomed to high school life, and took active part in all amusements and in school work. Labor Day was the day of days for Freshmen. The girls were decorated to look like Indians with all sorts of colors on their faces. The boys had to make a few ora¬ tions and sing some selections. We were hosts at two parties during this year. They were enjoyed by all who attended. During our Sophomore year we did not lack in social spirit. The fancy dress ball which took place at the Club House is still spoken of as being one of the most enjoyable functions of the year. Mr. Edwards, who was our class teacher, did a great deal toward making our class what it is today. When he had charge of the class we saluted the flag every morning and were considered patriotic. As Juniors our most important affair was the Junior-Senior Dinner. There were two long rows of tables arranged one on each side of the room in the Club House. Chinese Lanterns were hung above the tables to repre¬ sent archways. These lanterns did catch on fire once in a while, but it gave some of the boys an opportunity to be heroic and it made the dinner a unique affair. Taking it all together it was considered quite a success. The Class of ’25 has taken an active part in athletics. Throughout our four years we have had some fine athletics. In interclass games we have usually made a good showing. When participating in outside games we have always been well represented. Three years passed very rapidly and before we knew it we were Seniors. We were the first class to graduate from the new high school. We have tried to set a good example to the rest of the school, especially the Freshmen. The carnival given by the school was made a success partly by the dance given by the Seniors. Julia Ruschin won the Lincoln Essay Medal, given by the Illinois Watch Company. Taking the class as a whole, we have been promising and dignified.

Page Twenty-one Hisfiun) of file (llkss of On August 14, 1922, sixty-five pupils enrolled in Washington High as Freshmen. After a few days, in which acquaintances were made, a meeting was held and the officers for the year were elected. Always successful in athletics, those who have taken a prominent part are: Lawrence Pimental, Alwin Searles, Joseph Perry, Arthur Nunes, and Manuel Nunes. The girls are: Alice Dargitz, Irene Alameda, Sybil Botel- ho, Louise Clarke, Katie Perry, Rita Revere, and Adele Steinhoff. These pupils have been successful not only in interclass games, but in outside games for the school. The Juniors have given many enjoyable parties throughout their high school career. The Spanish Dinner given to the Seniors was one of the biggest successes. At the Girls ' League Christmas parties the class of ' 26 has always presented very enjoyable stunts. The most entertaining of these perform¬ ances was the one given when we were Sophomores. This class has always been cooperative in all undertakings and are always as ready to bring success to other classes and their school as to themselves. In the spirited election held this year, those elected to hold office are: Adele Steinhoff, President; Irene Alameda, Vice-President; Laura Mae Garcia, Secretary; and Rita Revere, Treasurer. Page Twenty-two ||iistort) of flic Class of ' 27 The class of ' 27 began its school career last year with a membership of almost ninety pupils. Out of that number only fifty-six have stayed with us. Some have dropped out and others have moved to others schools. As Freshmen we tried to do our part in all school activities and entertainments. On February fourteenth we gave a delightful Valentine party to the rest of the school and faculty. This year the Sophomores, both boys and girls, have proved themselves great athletes. In basketball the Sophomore team won the school championship. In almost all the interclass games the Sophs have been victorious. The girls, too, have done their share in adding to our athletic honors. The little stunt put on by the Sophomore girls at the Christmas parry was well presented and favorably received. The cast was made up of Jewell Anderson, Dorothy Martin, Inez Brown, Mae Dias, Ramona Hinkley and Antoinette Botelho. Those who attended our Hallowe’en party last term will never forget the jolly good time they had. The party was held at the Parish Hall, which was decorated to represent the inside of a barn, in harmony with the hard time motif of the party. There has been a very cooperative spirit in the class of ’27 which has made all of our school activities a success. This was especially noticeable the night of the school carnival. Our booths were both a success. One of them which held many wonders of the much talked of planet. Mars, proved probably the biggest hit of the evening. In the election held in 1924 the following students were elected to fill the class offices: president, Andrew Sullivan; vice-president, Ruth Laws; secretary, William Rob¬ inson; treasurer, Wilbert Bettencourt; Hatchet reporter, Margaret Lowrie; Washing¬ tonian reporter, Inez Brown. With such a history preceding us, we are going ahead to make our Junior year still more successful and to act in such a way that we will always be remembered as a class distinctive for scholarship and honorable aspects. I’age Twenty-four Histoin) of tl)c Class of ' 2M On August 25, 1924, our class gathered for the first time in the new High School. You can just imagine how big we felt as we rode to school in the fine new busses that first morning. We were very proud, for we realized we were the first pupils to enter the new building, since the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores did not meet until Tuesday. After we had been here for a few weeks, we organized our class, and elected the following officers: President, John Ruskofsky; Vice-President, Edward Coney; Secretary, Dorothy Smith; Treasurer, George Lowrie. When it comes to yell leaders we have them,— ' The Green Twins. ' ' They are not so green now as they were when they were unanimously elected by the class. Ours is the first class in the history of W. U. H. S. to have twin yell leaders. In the beginning of the year, we were kept in constant fear by the upper classmen, and many was the day we trembled as we saw the Sopho¬ mores whispering together and casting side glances at us all the while. However, nothing terrible has come of it, but a delightful reception given to us by the Girls ' League. The most important event in our history as a class, was the Valentine Party, given to the school, which, with the help of our class teacher. Miss Sandholdt, was a great success. We have always been eager to help on committees or as a class in any way that we could, and sincerely hope that we may leave a good record and thus show our appreciation to the citizens of Washington Township for giving us this fine new building. Page Twenty-six I’age Twenty-seven -i ' a Kathleen Clarke had lived in Panama since she was small. Kathleen was now nearly nineteen. Her skin, never delicate, was browned from ex¬ posure. Her eyes were blue and her hair a glorious brown that no amount of tropical sun could harm. She was slender and athletic. ‘‘Come, called Kathleen to her brother, ‘ IPs time for a swim.’’ ‘ Coming,” answered Art. Kathleen was waiting in her swimming suit. The becich was just be¬ low the house, so they always went down in their suits. Kathleen could swim like a fish. Ever since they were children she and her brother had swam. At the beach they found their crowd. It was near dusk, the time a swim is most enjoyed in Panama. “Who’s that?” questioned Kathleen of Art. Strangers on this beach were few. Only people living near, American people, came there to swim. “Oh, I meant to tell you,” replied Art. “He’s a cousin of Pete’s. He has just come from the States. He’l l be here the rest of the season. I’ll introduce him to you.” “All right, he looks like a good addition to our crowd. Can he swim ?” “Don’t know. Find out.” “I’ll have to. If he doesn’t swim, he’ll be a flat-tire.” Art introduced Kathleen to the stranger, who was Roger Mendon. He was light-haired, tall and good-looking. “Kathleen,” said her brother. “You’ll have to call your race off. Jim isn’t here.” Page Twenty-eight ' ‘Why can ' t I take his place? broke in Roger. “You can if you can swim, replied Kathleen. “Seems a shame though. Jim is the best swimmer around here. Although Fve beat him sometimes. “Well, suppose you try beating me? I’ll give you a good chance. “Take it, said Art, then whispered something in his s ister’s ear. “Art always has confidence in me, thought Kathleen. “Maybe Robert Mendon isn’t such a good swimmer. “I’ll take the chance, Kathleen said aloud. “But I don’t want any ad¬ vantage. “Well, all right if you won’t take it. The crowd of young people had gathered on the clean white sand to watch the race. “Who, they were thinking, “is this young man who dares to think he can beat our Kathleen? The sun had set and the depth of darkness had grown. The two dots were barely visible as they swam to the raft. The crowd could not dis¬ tinguish whether the one ahead was Kathleen or not. But it was Kath¬ leen! With clean swift strokes she reached the raft. Then she turned back. Where was Roger? She had thought him barely behind her. As she swam on, she saw a form approaching in the darkness. Could he have a cramp? She raced on till she reached him. He had no cramp but was slowly ploughing through the water. “Come, said Kathleen, “swim back with me. You’ll never reach the raft. “I’m going on, sputtered Roger, determined and stubborn. “You’re not. You’re coming back with me. I’ll take no chance of your drowning. What made you say you could swim? Why you can barely paddle. Kathleen made the desired impression. Roger was at once submissive. “Now, said Kathleen, “I’m not going to say a word about this. I’m going to teach you to swim. As they swam back in the total darkness, Roger was thinking, “Darn rotten I am. Some little sport to take it like that. —LUCY SHINN, ’27. Pag-e Twenty-nine 31 A� t An (l)lJi Pont O ut pesk I am an old worn out desk. Till last year, I had been in the study hall of the old Washington Union High School. I was made at Lansing, Michigan, about fifty years ago. Then I was sent to a large store in San Francisco. At that time, the greatest city of the coast was but a small Spanish town. One day a country gentleman came to this store. He bought one hundred desks for a newly built high school. The next day, we were all transported to a little town, Centerville. Soon we were placed in the high school. Since I had been thus brought here, I had served faithfully till this new high school was completed. During my long service, I have met all kinds of students. Some of them who are now prominent citizens were very clever and intelligent. They studied hard, while they were in that study hall. I liked such stu¬ dents, for they, of all others, treated me very kindly. If I had been occu¬ pied only by those good students, I should never have been in this bad con¬ dition. But there were bad students as well as good ones. They never studied in that room. It seemed to me that they came to that room not to study, but for rest or recreation. As soon as they came into that room, they used to talk, laugh, and made fun of the girls who happened to be near by. Sometimes, having nothing to do, they carved their initials or their girls ' names on my face. Those boys always failed and had to stay five or six years in school. Most of such boys are now failures and are repenting of having wasted their time. The progress of education since the nineteenth century has been made by very great strides. The old building which was once the best in school in this state, became the worst of all. Some of the prominent citi¬ zens of Washington Township began to realize the need of a better school. By the approval of the voters this new building has been just completed. We all moved to this building last September, but as I was in bad condition, I, with a few of the others, was thrown into this unfinished auditorium as an old wornout, useless shoe. Nobody will ever realize how faithfully I have served those students during the past fifty years. But I ' ll be con¬ tented with it, for I know I have performed my duty very satisfactorily. l age Thirty Pa e Thirty-one (Oul (Eoacitcs (With apologies to Shakespeare and the Coaches) Time—3 Sec. to four Place—In a rowboat on the Styx.

Why he-eek can coach baseball and train trackmen better than you can count shekels. Macbeth—What bloody man is that? I know of only my friend, Mr. Gatchell. Mark you, Jew; besides possessing much skill in the coaching of baseball and foot¬ ball he arouseth a new interest in basket¬ ball. What sayest thou? Is he not as worthy as he of whom you speak? Lady Macduff—Thou speaketh with all thy wit and yet in good faith, thou orate not of my fair cousin, Mr. Goold. Shylock—Et, Tu, Lady Macduff? Lady Macduff—Oh, yes; if it were not for his untiring efforts in football and base¬ ball from whence would competition arise? Think you skill is cast in a wooden mold. No; it comes by competition. Not only did he supply this, Macbeth, but helped your friend to instill the new interest in basketball.

(Exeunt) diids ' Atl]lctic Miss Thoming has been head of the Girls’ Physical Education Department this year. Under her efficient and thoughtful guidance the athletic and health work has been a real help to each individual girl. As basketball coach she has been on the field every day developing what we expect to be a cham¬ pion team. The baseball girls certainly ap¬ preciate her efforts to secure them a spe¬ cial coach. We hope she will be with us again next year. Mrs. Jackson has been in charge of base¬ ball and altho she will tell you she does not know the game, we can think of no one who would listen as patiently and sympa¬ thetically to our troubles or be more reason¬ able and understanding. Baseball stars are apt to be as temperamental as opera sing¬ ers, and Mrs. Jackson’s tact and advice has quieted many a threatened hair-pulling con¬ test. She deserves a good share of the credit for the success of baseball this sea¬ son. Miss Hunt, as Posture instructor, is head of the Purgatory where the drooping shoul¬ ders and caved-in chests are corrected be¬ fore Freshmen are allowed to move upward to the Heaven of Baseball and Basketball. But once you get started, Posture is really fun, because Miss Hunt is a good scout and lets you play leap-frog and other things that are interesting as well as beautifying. JFontball On a sunny afternoon in the month of August, Coach Gatchel called forth his aspirant football candidates. His call was answered by some forty-odd boys all trying for one purpose; that to make the team. The weeding of the “yearlings ' soon brought the squad down to twenty-six men who were to be made into our first and second teams. The opening of the season took place on Saturday, September 13, against the alumni. The game was hard fought throughout, but we lost the decision, 6 to 2. The second game of the season took place in our back yard against the Hollister maulers. The boys fought stubbornly, trying to get revenge for the defeat they had given us the year before. For a while it seemed as if they would succeed or at least hold them to a scoreless tie, but a trick play, in the last few minutes of the game gave them a touchdown. Score—Hollister 6—Washington 0. The following week the team journeyed to San Rafael and there lost another hard game 12 to 0. The fourth game of the season contained our charm; we chalked up our first win of the season against Mt. View Hi. The score was 13 to 0. This game proved that we could play a little football, although the score would have been larger if it had not been for a few fumbles. On October 11 our team journeyed to Alameda and there engaged in the hardest game of the season. We were outclassed and outplayed by a better team, which was smarting Sunder the 6 to 0 defeat we handed them last year. Although we lost 16 to 0, our team was not disgraced. When our boys went to Santa Cruz, we felt so charmed by the “brush the boys had been raising on their faces in anticipation of their first winning game, that we proceeded to beat Santa Cruz 12 to 6, and thus save a few dollars ' worth of shaves. It was Pimental ' s wonderful lunning and Law ' s bucking that made it possible for us ' to turn the trick. Whites Preps came next on our schedule. When the gun sounded, both teams were still on equal terms. Each Jiad scored a touchdown. “Cocky Silveria, Donovan and Powers showed up very well in this game. Oh yes, next came Hayward. My! It sure was a wonderful game while it lasted. Both teams were evenly matched and were at the peak of their form. A few breaks against Hayward lost the game for them early in the first half, but they fought gamely to the end and for a while seemed very dangerous. The final score was Washington 12—Hayward 7. The stars of the game were White at center, Joe Brown and Searles at tackles, and Souza at end. A return game was played with Mt. View Hi on their grounds. Our boys again showed that they were superior to Mt. View ' s best team, by trimming them 13 to 0. The individual work of Muller and Silva in the backfield, and Keller and John Brown at guards was noteworthy. The first team and the school as a whole appreciate the good work of Mr. Goold, who had charge of the second team. He was always willing to help us out in any possible way and his team was always ready to give the varsity good practice. Rah! for Goold. Lawrence Pimental, star left half on this year ' s team, was elected captain of the 1926 varsity. Everybody is hoping that he will have a good team. Make your last year your best, “Pimie. Through graduation we will lose the following stars, who have helped to make football history for Washington during the past four years:White, Laws, Joe Brown, Eugene Silva, Albert Silveria, Powers and Donovan. Page Thirty-five Page Thirty-six gasket bail Coach Gatchel started basketball this year with evident apprehension as to the team ' s ability to play at all, but it is universally thought in the school that his fears were groundless. Good material was unearthed this season in all departments of the game, and undoubtedly some unknown tal¬ ent still lurks among the Freshmen. This season was run through with ' ‘Mutt” Laws playing the center position. He put up a good, heady game all the time. At the forward berths were two lively small boys, who did a great deal for the varsity, namely Q” Perry and Bluff” Donovan; behind Mutt” in the two guard areas, were our stalwart and stocky Kocky” Silveria, and the long and rangy Mick” Sullivan. About mid-season, Donovan was unanimously elected captain, after having been appointed captain in all the previous games. All the substitutes showed up well and no doubt there will be keen competition among them next season to fill the places vacated by the grad¬ uation of Laws, Donovan and Silveria. Page Thirty-seven Uisdmll Spring had come at last. The long and dreary months of winter were at an end. But how could we tell ? Oh! that was easy. The boys had started to play baseball. Our baseball season started off well. Almost all the boys in school turned out for the greatest national pastime in existence. Competition was very keen with so many men fighting for each position. It did not take long, however, for Coach Gatchel to get a line on his material. After two weeks practice he picked his first and second teams and then we were ready for business. Our preliminary season was very successful. We won six of the eight games played by impressive scores. Everybody was expecting us to send Hayward down in defeat in our ' ‘big little game, ' ' but, alas, the God¬ dess of luck turned her back upon us and smiled at Hayward. Yes, sir, was lost the game by the score of 8-2. Altho the defeat was hard to take, the boys showed their good sportsmanship by smiling when things were going against them. Some of the individual stars who deserve much credit for the success of our team throughout the season were Muller, our star pitcher. His fast deliveries were mere specks of lightning going over the plate. Many were the ambitious youths who were sent to the bench after whiffing the air three times. Another boy who was always on the job was “Pimie. That boy was some catcher and he also taught the boys how to hit them. He led the team in hitting this year. Next came Captain Powers. His hitting caused many a pitcher to throw down his glove and groan in despair, and as a fly chaser he had no equal. Altho his playing this year was not so flashy, “Sheik Searles was a valuable man at first base. His hitting was below par, but his fielding was faultless. Last but not least was “Cocky Silveria. He has been with us so long that I almost forgot him. He prides himself in being a baseball player. He did very good work for us this year. The work of Ferry, Nagai, Perry, E. Pimmtel, Ray Bettencourt, John Brown, Jim lakasaki, and Art Nunes was very good. With a little more experience these boys ' will become good ball players. Much credit for the success of our team, however, goes to Mr. Gatchel our Coach, and his assistant, Mr. Goold. Thqy were always on the job and did all that was in their power to give us the best team pos¬ sible. They played no favoritism. The best man got the position he was tiying for. We hope they will do as well, or better next year. Alwin Sheik Searles, star first baseman on our team, was elected elected Captain of the 1926 nine. He is a good ball player and a good sport also. He should make a good leader, because all the boys like his ways. We all hope he can accomplish next year what we failed to do; that is to trim Hayward. rage Thirty-nine The 1925 track season was short and full of pep. It was opened with one week of hard training, followed by two tneets. On May the fifth we met Santa Clara and Los Gatos high schools at Santa Clara in a triangular meet. Santa ' Clara took the meet easily, Washington being second. The Hayward meet, which is always our best was held on. May the eighth, at Hayward. Washington won by a score of 84-65. The real stars of the meet were Joe Perry of Washington, who broke the Javelin record with a throw of 145 ft. 9 in., iand Cananaugh of Hayward, who broke the 8 lb. shot record, with a toss of 47 ft. 3 in. Much good material was shown for next year, there being some promising Freshmen. This meet closed our season. Hayward gave us a good fight but we are still to be defeated by them in track. Pag-e Forty-one The baseball season closed with the Juniors holding the championship of the school. Although no outside games were played, several interesting interclass games took place. The first team consists of the following: LOUISE CLARK .Catcher ALICE DARGITZ .P.tchcr ANGIE CUNHA .1st Base MILA NORRIS .2nd Base IRENE ALAMEDA .3rd Base ADELE STEINHOFF.Short Stop SYBIL BOTELHO .Left Field EVELYN DAY.Center Field EVA COSTA .Sub EDNA DESTRELLA .Sub OSii ls ' askftheili As the new basketball season opened it was necessary to form a team and elect a captain. Adeline Fontes was chosen for the position. After many weeks of practice a first team was picked out. It is as follows: Lucy Shinn, Adeline Fontes, Rita Revere, Antoinette Botelho, Katie Perry, and Ellen Dusterberry. Many snappy interscholastic games were held in which there was much rivalry between the classes. JBostitia ' The posture class, with Miss Hunt as instructor, held its daily session in the auditorium. The Seniors and Juniors took posture one week and the Freshmen and Sophomores the other. Many of the girls attended regularly. They who were round-shouldered and hollow-chested received much benefit from it. At the beginning of the spring semester all the upper class girls except those who took posture every day were allowed to go regularly to their sports and the Freshmen were assigned to posture only. Page Forty-four Pag-e Forty-five Ijc s0ociclti� Before the organization of the Associated Students all the school ac¬ tivities were handled by the classes or individuals. The number of activi¬ ties began to grow larger, and the need of more cooperation among the students was realized. After inquiries into other high school organiza¬ tions it was decided to have an Associated Student Body. The help of the faculty and the cooperation of the students have succeeded in making the venture an overwhelming success. The officers of the organization, elected this year were: President, Awbrey Laws; Vice-President, Sybil Botelho; Secretary, Adele Steinhoff; Treasurer, Alwin Searles. Th meetings have been well-conducted and most of the students take an active part in making the meetings interesting and lively. The credit for a successful year in making the Associated Students a strong organization goes to the officers, students, and the faculty. They have made membership in the Washington Union High School Associated Students something of which to be proud. rage Forty-six. yiatcljct Our school paper, “The Hatchet,’ ' has an interesting history. At first the copies were mimeographed; but this was a rather slow process. The more enterprising students were not satisfied; so, through the efforts of Mr. Moyer, Phillip Griffin, “Kelly” Wales, and several others, the publica¬ tion of the paper was started in 1916. It was published two or three times a year, for a time. Then the publication discontinued until the arrival of Mr. Kibby. Mr. Kibby has done remarkable work with the equipment we have for printing. This year, a new method has been tried. Much of the material was linotyped by the Township printing office, thus making it possible to publish the Hatchet once every two weeks. Next year, we hope it will surpass all its previous records, both for excellence of material, and number of publications. The Editorial Staff this year is as follows: Editor.BEATRICE VAN VLEET Assistant Editor .DOROTHEA ORMSBY Advertising Manager .THOMAS POWER Girls Sports .VELMA COPELAND Boys Sports .JOE BROWN Senior Class.EVELYN RODERICK Junior Class .FRED NITA, MANUEL NUNES Sophomore Class .MARGARET LOWRIE, RUTH LAWS Freshman Class .MARINO JACOBI Exchange Editor.MARGARET STARKS Page Forty-seven W, II, 5 , (Orclicstia At last a permanent orchestra has been organized at W. U. H. S. The students have long been looking forward to the time when they could boost for an orchestra. The time has come and everyone is well pleased with the success that has been scored. The Orchestra was organized by a very able music master, Mr. Ebert, from San Jose. The Orchestra’s first public appearance was at the Men’s Club Father and Sons’ Banquet held in the W. U. H. S. Auditorium. The music rend¬ ered received much applause. The members who have worked so faithfully in helping to make this organization a success are as follows: Eva Costa, Antoinette Botelho, Eu¬ gene Silva, Hugh Steinhoff, Joe Brown, Manuel Souza, Addison Richmond, Fred Muller, Victor Souza, Theodore Silveria, Richard White, Ernest Pim- ental and Anthony Bettencourt. Pag-e Forty-eight (Llic poster Chtb This club was organized two years ago by the students of the school, who were interested in all lines of art work, particularly drawing, painting and making posters. Miss Thoming, in cooperation with the members, has contributed greatly in making this rapidly growing organization a suc¬ cess. The members of the club have made many posters of various kinds, to advertise the school activities and community activities. At a school art exhibit in San Francisco a year ago, several articles sent by the art class members, who are all members of the Poster Club, re¬ ceived honorable mention. The Poster Club is practically self-supporting and the fact that it supplies all the materials necessary to the art work is indeed worth mentioning. Besides the business side of the Club ' s work, it has received favor in the school by its successful parties and poster contests given at different times of the year. The Poster Club has become a real helpful factor in the school, due to the faithful help of its members and the careful guidance of Miss Thoming.

Up to this time the boys had their athletic club but there was nothing by which the girls could identify themselves as an integral part of the school. There were many problems which came up , that the girls could best determine for themselves. At the first meeting the plan was presented that a Girls ' League be organized. This same movement was just being started in several other high schools in the state. Officers and standing committees were elected. The Social Function of the Girls ' League is to give, every year, the Freshman Reception and the Christmas Party, and to furnish refresh¬ ments for outside athletic teams and on Labor Day to the whole school. This year the rest room of the new school was furnished by the Girls ' League. Each year the Girls ' League emphasizes certain factors by having spe¬ cial skits and weeks, such as “Good Manners Week, “Responsibility Week , and “School Spirit Week. In 1921 a convention of girls from the bay counties was called to meet m Berkeley to discuss girls ' leagues and girl problems, and as a result of this meeting, a federation of Girls ' Leagues was formed and Washington High became a charter member of the federation. This organization meets annually and two delegates are sent to it from each school. The delegates chosen from Washington’have always enjoyed meeting the girls of the other schools of the bay section and have come home from the meet¬ ings full of enthusiasm and new ideas. All credit and success of the Girls ' League of W. U. H. S. is due to Miss Sandholdt, who successfully trained and guided a group of untrained and inexperienced girls in creating the Girls ' League of W. U. H. S. The officers presiding this year are: President, Eva Costa; Vice-Presi¬ dent, Edna Destrella; Secretary, Mila Norris; Treasurer, Marjorie Lo¬ gan; Ways and Means, Constance Lucio; Hospitality, Sibyl Botelho; Pro¬ gram, Alice Simas. ' oddu of The purpose of the Scholarship Organization is to foster a higher stan¬ dard of scholarship and all-round attainment on the part of the students of our school. All those who have made their ten points during the semester are eligible to be members and can be members the following semester. Those who have eight or more points earned in their studies and the balance in outside activities are eligible to be members. Those who fail in a subject are debarred and those who make up work failed in before re¬ ceive no credit toward joining the Society. Those who were eligibile for at least two thirds of their high school attendance provided a part of this earned membership is in their Senior year, may have the seal of the So¬ ciety embossed on their diplomas. There are several outside activities which count one point among, which are: President of Student Body and Athletic Managers. Those who are members of this organization have many honors. They are good scholars as shown by their being members. Their names will be published in the township and school publications, as well as having spe¬ cial mention at the Commencement Exercises. They will be life members in the California Scholarship Federation if they have the chapter seal embossed on their diplomas, and they will receive the official gold pin of the Federation. Page Fifty-one Wasllin ton laiiers Hx amatic (tluh At the beginning of our school semester, candidates were called for a proposed upperclass dramatic club. The call was answered by experi¬ enced and inexperienced dramatic talent. Trials were conducted by Miss Applegate and a large enrollment resulted. On October 6, 1924, the club was organized as The Washington Players Club, and officers were elected. Work immediately started and a cast for Booth Tarkington ' s ‘ ' Ghost Story ' ' was chosen. It was successfully pre¬ sented in the school library during the carnival. This added variety and talent to the evening and was enjoyed by all. It showed us that there was real dramatic talent for work in larger programs. At the beginning of the second semester, work was started on two plays, “The Trysting Place , a comedy, and “Nerves, a tragedy. After a few months of real hard work with Miss Young substituting as coach during Miss Applegate ' s illness, the plays were presented to the public, on April 17. They proved a real success. They were the first produced in the new school auditorium. The proceeds were used to replenish the Student Body treasury, which had been depleted by the purchase of more than $400 worth of stage equipment. The Washington Players ' Club has functioned for the unique purpose of creating better scholarship, higher school ideals and love for dramatics. Page Fifty-two lic (Oull Drcimatic (Cluh The Freshmen—Sophomore Dramatic Club began its career only a very short time ago. It was organized this term by a number of students who were interested in dramatics. Under the supervision of Miss Thoming this club has been able to accomplish many things. Our club has put on a number of very good plays which have been very successful. Each member of our club has some work to perform regularly, and it is always done diligently, in order to help make our club a still bigger suc¬ cess. In choosing the name for this organization we selected ' ‘Owl Dramatic Club” because an owl is , supposed to be a wise old bird. In the election held at the beginning of the term, the following were chosen to hold office: President, Antoinette Bothelo; Vice-President, Carolyn Overacker; Secretary, Jewell Anderson; Treasurer, Mae Dias. The dramatic club has become a helpful organization in the school. Credit and recognition are due them, which the Student Body heartily gives. Page Fifty-three !

This was the first time that Washington Union High School had undertaken to entertain the public at large, dependent only upon the stu¬ dent talent and ingenuity. The co-operation of the students from the vari¬ ous classes and school clubs made it a grand success. Each booth was de¬ corated in various colors to harmonize with the genei ' al scheme of decora¬ tion, carrying out an Oriental effect. The dance conducted by the Seniors proved to be a great attraction to the admirers of this pastime. The Student Body of Mountain View Union High School helped by providing some of the music for the evening. Refreshments could be found at the “Oriental Tea Garden ' ' and “The Cinderella Roof Garden. The former was in charge of the Poster Club and the latter in charge of the Girls ' League. The Baseball girls served punch to the thirsty, while the Sophomores sold candy to those of a “sweet tooth. The ever popular “hot dog was also present at the Frosh Booth. Many a hearty laugh was enjoyed at “Sw’ at the Faculty , a booth that was arranged by the Sophomore English Club. Those taking “A Trip to Mars will tell you that they are sure that Mars was once inhabited if it is not now, for they can truthfully say they saw and felt the remains of one of its inhabitants. At the “fish pond could be found the ever anxious angler fishing the elusive “pescis. Many were those who found their way to the old Curiosity Shop, on their way stopping just a moment to see the “Deep Sea Mariners. The Carnival was an event that will long be remembered in the hearts of those who so earnestly gave their work and of those who enjoyed its many novel features. The Thanksgiving ball, which is an annual affair, was given by the student body of the high school at Irvington, on Saturday evening, Novem¬ ber 29th, at 8:30. The Maple Hall was beautifully decorated in green and red crepe paper and red pepper berries. The music was furnished by the Dixie Toddle Kids. Through the efforts of all the committees, the dance was a great success and everyone there had an enjoyable evening. Pag-e Fifty-eight ' iLljc opliomtiia ' arh) The party given by the Sophomore class this year has been given credit as being one of the greatest successes of the year. It was held in the Parish Hall on October 24, 1924. The hall was very prettily decorated in orange and black, the refreshments were very good, the music was wonderful, and the crowd all in good spirits, so what more could anyone wish? The careful guidance of our class advisers, Mrs. Wright and Miss Thoming, together with the co-operation of every member of the class, worked wonders. The members of the football team of White ' s Preparatory High were our guests that evening. Their company was greatly enjoyed, making us feel as though we might have them again as our guests. Everyone was dressed in a hard time outfit. All enjoyed the occasion immensely. Let us hope that the other parties of the coming year will prove as great a success as this one. Ifrcsliman On February 13, 1925, the Freshman Class gave their annual Valen¬ tine dance at the Parish Hall. Almost all the students attended. Undei the direction of Miss Sandholdt it was a great success in spite of the un¬ fortunate omen connected with the date. The hall was decorated in keeping with the spirit of the day. At the edge of the stage there was a hedge of pussy willows with red hearts dangling from their branches. The lights were covered with large hearts and little ones hung down from them. At about ten o ' clock heart shaped caps were passed out as favors. They and the delicious punch added very much to the enjoyment of the party. With the good music furnished by the High School Orchestra, danc¬ ing was enjoyed till the hour of twelve. Everyone declared the party a great success. Page P ifty-nine Cl|t istinas Oii eat um5s The Girls ' League always entertains the rest of the school at Christ¬ mas time. The entertainment generally consists of a stunt presented by each class, and the remainder of the afternoon spent in dancing. This year, owing to the sickness which prevailed, there was no dancing, but everyone enjoyed themselves just the same. The following is an account written by one of the guests. Did we enjoy the Christmas party? We ' ll say we did! Paul Revere ' s ride makes us giggle yet, ' specially when we remember how dear old Paul saw ' nother lamp in the belfry burn 1—when the second lantern had failed to do its stuff and had gone out. Freshmen, you ' re all right. We liked the Sophomore stunt, too. Inez Brown ' s sweet voice is still ringing in our ears. And the Junior stunt—haven ' t you wondered if the faculty ever really DID laugh at a meeting? We ' ll bet they ' re sillier than we are—when WE ' RE not ' round. But of course they wouldn ' t have us know it for anything. The Senior prophecy made us feel good to think that uppish creatures like Billy Maffey and Mutt Laws might sometime be reduced to street sweeping and janitoring. We had formerly thought that there was no such animal as a blond fortune teller—they had always been described to us as being dark and mysterious, with burning black barbaric eyes and a sinuous, snaky shape, but Katy will get our business henceforth. During the holidays we took Edna Destrella ' s advice and substituted holly for mistletoe, and found it almost as good. The rest of the things were all exceptionally well done, not forgetting the eats, which were last, but not least. One of the most enjoyable social events of the year will be the senior ball, given by the class on June 20, at Maple Hall, Irvington. As this will be the last time the class will be together before their final separation, they are determined to make the best of it. The hall will be decorated in the class colors, orange and gray. The best dance given by the seniors will be on June 20, ' 25. Pag-e Sixty The Junior and Senior Dinner, May 14, was one of the greatest events that occurred during the school year. The Country Club House in Center¬ ville was decorated to represent a Spanish Palm Garden. At one end of the room was one of those old-fashioned wells, with the draw bucket, over which was a thatched roof. At the other end was a stand, also with a thatched roof and an occasional palm tree. This was where the musicians were seated, while the pleasant hours passed away. The Dinner, served by girls of the Cooking Class, dressed in the typi¬ cal Spanish costume, consisted of: Scalloped Potatoes Peas Chicken Patties Shrimp Salad Pie a la Mode Coffee Olives Pickles Apart from the music furnished by the orchestra, other entertain¬ ment was furnished by Miss Helen Jackson, who did a Spanish Dance. Among those who gave speeches were Mr. Fred Dusterberry, Mr. Richard White, Miss Adele Steinhoff, and Mr. E. B. Hodges. The speeches were followed by the reading of the Senior Class Will. (fl«h The Poster Club entertained the school at a paity on Friday evening, April 24, at the Country Club House. The music was furnished by the school orchestra, in regular Paul Ash style. The dancers certainly enjoyed it. Everyone present had a very enjoyable time, and at twelve o ' clock everybody thought that the familiar strains of “Home Sweet Home came too quickly, because they were all having the best of times. As this party was a great success, it should become an annual affair so long as the Poster Club is in action. The members of the club wish to thank the students and friends who helped them to make the party a great success. Pag-e Sixty-one What will the W. TJ. H. S. do without— Richard’s quiet manner?
