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.

||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.
