Our principal, Mr. Hodges, came to Washington when the students enrolled for the Erst time in the newly established institution. This was in the fall of 1924 . Since then he has exerted every effort to carry on the work of the previous administration—to build a real institution in this community. He has made the work consistent with that done m other high schools in the state, and has also kept our school in touch with higher institutions. Since his arrival great progress has been made in this school. The enrollment has increased two-fold and more; many new courses have been offered; new shop, girls’ shower house, garage, and busses have been added along with much new equipment; the library has been constantly enlarged; the campus has been beautified with the lawn in front, which was planted last summer, and the gardens on all sides. The faculty, then composed of twelve, now consists of twenty-one members. The leadership of these men and women has done a great deal toward the up-building of this institution. The administration, the faculty, and the citizens who have helped in the progress of the school, take great pride in it.

[ 13 ] ' Departments Throiigh seas of knoivlcdgc onr course advance Discovering still new ivorlds of ignorance ” Washington Union High School, like a large manufacturing plant, is composed of many departments. In each department there are men and women who, like the skilled molders in the foundry, are shaping the destiny of the students, by training them to a high type of civilization, by developing the power of thinking and of reacting to new problems, as well as by preparing them for some particular calling. Not only have the additional curricula received a new degree of support, but several new and interesting innovations have been made. To create enthusiasm in school work, many departments have organized clubs and societies this year. The students have taken active part in them. Social Science In social science the study of economic, social, and political principles inspired one to still higher forms of goveri’iment and standards of life. It included the following courses: citizenship, world history, American history, constitution, and economics. Besides completing the required work, many written projects were made on inter¬ esting subjects. Oral reports were given on timely current topics. A few of the classes have heard talks from business men. The history classes have competed in the National Flag Contest. Laboratory Science In biology, chemistry, or physics, the great enjoyment the students got was from the laboratory experiments. The study included almost everything from invisible atoms to planets and stars, from deep thinking in electricity to inspiring musical notes. The physics class made a trip to the P. G. E. substation at Newark, and learned many interesting things. Domestic Science The girls are trained for better home-making in the domestic science classes. They learn from true experience. In cooking they go through all the steps in preparing a meal and laying the table. The sewing classes are taught to make all types of clothing. zArt Besides doing the regular work, the art classes have made very attractive posters to advertise athletic games and various entertainments. The posters put out for Miss Cherryblossom” were especially beautiful. This year the art students again competed in the Humane Poster Contest. [ 14 ] zJhCusic The instrumental music was added to the regular curriculum this term. Over one hundred students enrolled in this subject. Mr. Kimber was the leader of this active department. The vocal music also became a full credit subject. The music students have worked hard this year to make the operetta a success. The regular class work was very interesting. The second and third year English classes gave a play for the benefit of the student body at the beginning of the second semester. The fourth year English was greatly enjoyed by the seniors. Essays were also written on Lincoln’s life. The senior play was a success this year. The regular English period was devoted to its practice. Latin and French were both studied by the students preparing for college. Commercial In the commercial department the students learn typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and commercial law. These subjects are for juniors and seniors. Mathematics Surveying has always been one of the most interesting features for the third and fourth year classes. Industrial The industrial courses give practical training to students. Home mechanics, print¬ ing, mechanical drawing, auto mechanics, forging, and lathe work are taught in the new shop. The boys learn by actual experience the different phases of industry. The library this year is the best ever. Many pleasant hours were spent in this vast store of knowledge. ,o [ H ] IsoBEL Thomas Isobel wants to be a ro¬ mantic poetess, Let us encourage her and wish her success.

One hundred sixty-three awkward and timid looking students enrolled in our dear old Washington. They were shy for the first few weeks as they were daily encountering strange faces. Oftentimes they would gaze in awe at the mighty seniors, who were too dignified even to notice them. But it was not long before they began to feel as important as seniors. During the year they have played an important part in many activities. They were well represented in athletics, band, orchestra, scholarship society, and operetta. And now they are to be Trosh” no more but to become examples for future ' ' scrubs.” [ 29 ] Ima Cater How pleasant were the days when we, seniorsy azed upon Washington walls guessing her heights in childish fun and play. How rapidly does time advance; the years have passedy and we have progressed higher and higher. But these majestic walls always pleasing us. Yesterdayy we gazed at her and sighed. We only wished to be with her forever and ever. But inspired by the ideals of our dear Alma Matery wey seniorSy go forth to sing her praises to the whole world and bring back to her glory and fame. Louis Kusohiu President Mary Caldeira Girls’ Athletic Manager Laveriie Silva Yell Leader Isohel Thomas Secretary Elizabeth Shinn Editor of The Hatchet ]Mary Beveridge Vice-President Ploward Overacker Boys’ Athletic Manager Vernon Ichisaka Treasurer dissociated Students Every student has a high regard for the Associated Students of Washington High. Its purpose is to promote a spirit of unity among the students and to secure an efficient management of student activities. Several years ago the need of an organization to foim a complete union of the students was realized. After studying over the organiza¬ tions of other high schools, this organization was started on February 8, 1923. Since then it has been actively working, and the student activities have achieved a healthy growth. Each passing year has been a development that marks the organiza¬ tion as a vital factor in the student’s life. And this year the student body has again enjoyed a successful, prosperous year and promises even greater achievem.ent in the immediate future. Jhiessage From the Presideiit The efforts of the student body officers were directed chiefly towards introducing more order and efficiency into the routine work of student self-government which allows a chance for a constructive, friendly, and cooperative spirit. The conception of student self-government in high school as valuable training for life was held by this administration, and all activities which tend to furnish this type of training have been fostered. The greatest accomplishments during the year, however, have been the obtaining of a new curtain for the school auditorium, the adoption of a new constitution for guid¬ ance of the student affairs, and the maintenance of a series of educational programs. I hope that the work of the students in many outstanding musical, dramatic, and educational enterprises will go far toward convincing the community of the seriousness of purpose of the student body. And lastly, I thank heartily the faculty and the members of the organization for the inspiring cooperation they have given to me. Louis Ruschin.

Qirls ’ League With each increasing year the girls’ league brings to its members high ideals o£ womanhood, upholding the good spirit of the school. Since its organization in 1919, the league standing for hospitality and refinement of students’ life has a prominent place in our school as the first organized body. As a charter member of the Federation of the Girls’ League of the Bay Counties, the first of its kind in California, our girls’ league holds an important place among other schools. Our delegates are sent each year to its annual convention. Through sponsoring many worthy activities, its purpose is fulfilled. The annual freshman reception is one outstanding example of unselfish service to help the younger ones get started in high school. To recall the joyous time at the Christmas party always makes one happy. The good manners week with all its programs beneficial to all and the Mother’s Day program with all its tributes to the mothers inspire noble character among the students. With the hearty cooperation of the members, the league has passed another suc¬ cessful year. Much gratitude is expressed by the members to Miss Sandholdt for her untiring efforts as their faithful dean. [ 33 ] Top Rcw: Miss McMilhin, Paulir.e Ainarnl.

The organization has a definite purpose in view—it endeavors to promote better sportsmanship among the girls and to be of service to the school. During the year it has carried out its purpose to the fullest extent in helping the school. Some of the important and helpful services rendered by its members have been the sponsoring of a program for a student body meeting, ushering at various school entertainments, and acting as hostesses to two hundred girls from Amador and Hayward Union High Schools on a play-day. The sponsoring of a play-day on April 20 with the assistance of the girls’ league has been the greatest success of their activities. This is a new event which was started by the girls of Hayward High School in 1927, and proved to be a great affair to foster and develop good feeling, sportsmanship, and athletic abilities among the three high schools. With the present accomplishments we can clearly see that this organization will steadily increase the activities of our girl athletes. [ 34 ] Top Rcw: Mr. Ki ' ”!!. Albert Leonnrcb .

James Cull _ President Louis Ruschin _ Vice-?resident Ray Jolliflf _ Secretary Albert Leonardo _ Treasurer Mr. Regli _ Adviser In 1926 , the Boys’ W” Club of Washington Union High School was organized with a membership of twenty. The W” club was organized with the motives of pro¬ moting better fellowship among the students, and to maintain a spirit of good sports¬ manship. One service that they did for the school was to conduct the grammar schools’ play- day. They helped immensely by taking charge of the field events and assisting the children. All those who have earned the official letter W” are eligible for membership in this organization; this membership is looked forward to by all the boys. The organiza¬ tion was not increased very much in membership this year as the football boys did not play the required number of games for their letters, and basketball was discontinued before the season was over. All letters are awarded by authority of and according to the rules adopted by the Board of Trustees of Washington Union High School. [35 ] Scholarship Society Marie White _ Eva Teeter _ Irene Laskey _ Dorothy Van Dervoort_ Elizabeth Shinn __ Mr. Hodges, Mr. Solvason _ President _ Vice-President Secret ary-T reasiirer - Publicity Manager Program Chairman _ Advisers The scholarship society is recognized as one of the most important organizations of the high school. It was organized with Mr. Hodges, Mr. Peirce, and Miss Barnard as advisers in 1925, as Chapter No. 111 of the California Scholarship Federation. The purpose of the society is to give service and recognition to those students who have attained a high standard in scholarship and leadership. The honor students are always given much attention in The Hatchet, The seniors who have earned the title of life membership in the federation receive t he scholarship seal on their diplomas, and are presented with the gold C. S. F. pin at commencement. This year the society is grateful for getting on the student body budget list. The money helps to pay the expense of sending the delegates to the various conventions. The last C. S. F. convention was held at San Mateo. Marie White, president of our society, was elected treasurer of the federation. This society is always endeavoring to lay down a program of constructive service to the school, since the motto is Scholarship for Service. ’ [ 36 ] Opef etta With the successful presentation of Miss Cherryblossom ' the fourth annual operetta, vocal music has come into prominence more than ever. It was presented by fifty students on April 17 to a fine audience. The production v as directed by Miss Lesda Sayles. As the curtain opened the charming Japanese geisha girls and American chorus were the unusual attraction of the evening. The beautiful scenic effects of the Japanese outdoor tea garden, the strange costumes, clever comedy, touching love scenes, and tuneful melodies certainly charmed the audience. Lois Abrott, who took the role of the leading lady as Miss Cherryblossom, sang her solos like an opera prima donna. Rosalie Joyce, the other leading lady, acted her part exceedingly well. The four American men, Howard Overacker, James Bunker, George Coley, and Sam Kearns, portrayed their roles like real” actors. Toshi Sato, as Kokemo, and Paul Gygax, as Togo, kept the audience laughing during the entire three acts. With the fine chorus of singers to supplement the soloists, the operetta won much applause. This was the first year that the orchestra has ever played the full score accom¬ paniment. The overture was especially striking. Since operetta was started in 1926 by Miss Mabel Barnard, it has been a very im- partant part of our school, and it is constantly filling the great need in the students life—the need of music, culture, and art. W. U. H. S. has a right to be proud of the music department, both vocal and ins¬ trumental, as much praise was given by the appreciative audience about this fine musical production. [ 37 ] Orchestra The progress that the orchestra made this year was remarkable. Both the public and students were amazed at the fine music played throughout the academic year. The first public appearance made this year was at Nancy Anna Brown’s Folks.” During the autumn and winter the student body meetings were enlivened with lively pieces. The orchestra of over one hundred players made an important appearance at the community Christmas program, in which it accompanied nearly two hundred voices from the township schools in singing the old Christmas carols. The orchestra also played at a meeting of the Country Club. A series of concerts was given at the grammar schools of the district. Entirely new and fascinating pieces were played at the student body play, Penrod,” and at another play, Two Days to Marry” at the Masonic Home. It played the overture and full score accompaniment for the operetta, Miss Cherryblossom.” A fine concert was given in the auditorium during public school week. Numbers planned for the commencement program are es¬ pecially beautiful. The orchestra was first started in 1924 with thirteen players under the leadrship of Mr. Ebert. Advance has been made under Mr. Kimber. In view of the past achievements and future possibilities, the students realize that our school is going to have one of the leading orchestras in the state. ‘Hand As a sequel to orchestra, the W. U. H. S. Band, composed of some sixty wind instrument players, stands out as the great pride of the school. The program scheduled for the year was successfully completed. During the football season the band was on the bleachers banging out their peppiest marches, and Hail to Old Washington.” With the coming of spring the band took on new life, and played several snappy marches at the student body meeting in March. It also appeared on the bleachers at the baseball game with Hayward to supply additional pep. On April 2 5 th an open air concert was given on the school grounds before a large audience. This was during public school week. On May 11th the group attended the Northern California Band Contest in San Francisco. The trip was most profitable and enjoyable. As our band was not fully equipped, it did not compete this year. The next year’s band may enter. The best appearance of the band was made at the senior play, New Brooms.” The musical program added to the success of the play greatly. We owe the organization of the band to Mr. Kimber.

Wyatt, A, Leonardo Senior Play New Brooms” was successfully produced by a capable cast in true proicss ' onal style in May. Miss Laura Taylor directed this play. The contrast of youth and age as the theme, comedy, romance, and good morals were clearly brought out by the players. Louis Ruschin had the part of the grouchy, old broom manufacturer down to perfection. The change of character of Tom Bates Jr. was nicely contrasted by Rich¬ ard Hotchkiss from a happy, carefree college graduate to a business man. Miss Marsh, the leading lady, was cleverly portrayed by Dorothy Smith. Claire Bettencourt, playing the part of the talkative oil salesman, was one of the humorous actors of the play. Mr. and Mrs. Wallis” Nov ell, the newlyweds, were no other than Ray Jolliff and Dorothea Willis. Geraldine Harlan as Tom’s fiancee and later as Mrs. Morrow, the wife of the oil stock salesman, played her part admirably. Minor roles were successfully played by James Bunker, the old butler, Albert Leonardo, Mr. Simpson, Leland de Quadros as Mr. Kneeland, the manager of the broom factory, Orville Blose, the Rev. Dr. Dow, William Wyatt, Nelson, an employee, and Madeline Azevedo, the housekeeper. These amateur actors coordinated all their lines in a realistic manner, which made the play a success. The school and patrons were very proud of this senior production. [ 40 ] Top Row: S. Kerns, G. Coley, E. Shinn, G. Robinson, 1 . Molter, L. Hygelnnd Middle Row: Miss ' J ' aylor, M. Fyffe, E.

This four act drama, which was directed by Miss Laura Taylor, was one of the high school’s best dramatic productions. Edward Witherly, as Penrod, ajid Clarence laicas, as Sam Williams, were the unmis¬ takable stars of the performance. Gertrude Ellsworth, the leading lady, played her part admirably as Penrod’s sister. Miss Margaret Schofield. Edward Wargin, who played opposite her, portrayed his role well. Eugene Dusterberry was exceptionally good as Penrod’s father. Bits of real comedy were supplied by Elizabeth Shinn as the cook, and George Robinson as Jarge. Much laughter also was provided by Mary George and Alice Lemas, the two little negro boys. The other players who made the play a success were: Marie White as Mrs. Scho¬ field; Maurice Silva, the villain; Katherine Sullivan, Penrod’s sweetheart; Lloyd Hyge- lund. Rev. Lester Kinosling; La Von Molter, Mrs. Jones; George Coley, Tim; Mabel Fyffe, Mrs. Basset; Mary Lucas, her son; and Sam Kerns, police chief. Coming in for their share of the praise were the members of our fine orchestra which played before and between the acts. That this production was successfully staged is due to the able work of our cap¬ able director. Miss Taylor, and to the cooperation of faculty and students. Top Row: Mr. Gatchel E.

Accepting Hayward’s challenge in debate the teams were organized in the social science department under the leadership of Mr. Gatchel and Miss Newbert. Our only debate this year was with Hayward on January 10th. The question for the debate was RESOLVED: That Capital Eiinsbment Should Be Abolished. Our debaters with the aid of the coaches worked very hard in their preparation. The result was the unanimous victory of our affirmative team debating in our home audi¬ torium, while at the same time our negative team, debating at Hayward, gave the opponents a hard battle only to come out on the short end of the decision of two to one.

With the growth of the activities, the students had in mind the idea of having a channel through which to chronicle these events— hence with the first mimeographed copy of The Hatchet in 1916 another ambition of the students had been realized. For their effort to start this paper an expression of appreciation is given to Mr. Moyer, Phillip GrifFin, and Kelly” Wales. In the following years it was published two or three times a year. Then for a short period it was discontinued until the arrival of Mr. Kibby, who has done a creditable work with the meager equipment which he found in the old shop. Great improvement has been made in the last few years. In 1923 when Robert Sweeney was editor, it was still a two column paper; the next year it had three columns with Beatrice Van Vleet as editor. In 192 5 another column was added when Earnest Pimentel was editor; the following year, under June Brown, it became a bi-monthly paper. Today it is a five column paper with many new interesting features. This year has been a successful one for The Hatchet. It is a great improvement over that of former years. Elizabeth Shinn, the editor, and her staff are to be con¬ gratulated for the constant and hard work throughout the year. Mr. Kibby, who has helped immensely in the make-up of the paper, deserves much credit. Miss Newbert, Mrs. Jackson, and the typing students have assisted the staff in making possible its successful publication.

[45 ] James Cull and [elvin Skow Working in the Printing Shop n ting pa rtm en t That our school printing department has been of paramount importance in build¬ ing the seventh volume of the Washingtonian as a distinctive annual is worthy of special mention. For the first time in the history of the school, the printing classes, under Mr. Kibby’s instruction, have taken part in the production of the yearbook. The staff takes great pride in giving credit to this department for printing over one-fifth of the book. The colored pages cf the different sections, which strike the keynote of distinctiveness, are the results of the work done by the students of printing. Much of the credit is due to Mr. Kibby’s personal interest and service. It may be of interest to our readers to know that the ' ' Washingtonian ' ' was first started seven years ago under Mr. Kibby’s supervision. This volume was edited by Estelle Hirsh. One of the greatest works done by this department is the printing of The Hatchet, a bi-monthly school paper. This department supports many important activities with posters, tickets, and programs. Judging from the successful work done by the printing classes, it is clear that the scope of the yearbook will continue to grow and improve and to be worthy of the school it represents—this cannot be over-emphasized, if the book is to carry out its program: to broadcast the traditions and merits of our school; to bring the name of our Alma Mater forcefully before the minds of coming students; and to create a stronger sense of loyalty among students, faculty, and alumni to this institution. [ 46 ] Our Athletes Athletics! What would a school be without its plays and its contests? To be sure, the school exists for the purpose of training young citizens. This training must include physical development, fcr of what use will be the training of the mind without good health? What is more valuable than an interest in clean sports for the enjoyment of life? We must realize the necessity of athletics to fill up cur leisure time. What is more essential for the battle of life than the hard training for team work and clean play of our athletic field? The pounding received on the gridiron gives a wonderful training fcr strength and endurance; the training in basketball develops speed and alertness; baseball trains one for patience and hearty co-operation; track and tennis both as indi¬ vidual sports offer friendly association. We are fortunate to have all these sports in our school, and we appreciate the pleasure that each affords us. Our Coach This term Washington Union High School was fortunate to have Coach Regli in the boys’ athletic department. As a new coach, who came from San Jose State Teach¬ ers’ College with a wonderful athletic record of his own, he proved to be very energetic. He has been an inspiring skipper in developing the Cornhuskers to play the game with an indomitable spirit and confidence in the face of discouragement and-strong opposition. Although handicapped in many ways. Coach Regli labored day after day with the boys, drilling them on the fundamentals of the game. Because of his precise instruc¬ tions, the different athletic teams showed good team work. He stressed above all clean sports, fair play, and good spirit among the boys. When our athletes enter the greater contest of life may they play the game as hard, as happily, and as cleanly as they have been trained by Coach Regli. Albert Leonardo Fullback-Captain “Al” was one of the pluckiest backfield men that ever donned a foot¬ ball suit for Washington. Whenever a few yards were needed, the ball was iven to him and he usually ot them, for he was sure to hit like a ton of bricks. “W.” This is his last year. Toshi Sato Tackle “Mush” was a ?ood tackle and a clean fight¬ er. He knew who had the ball, some of the sisals and a few other things that a football player must know. He Rets “corked,” but still plays the whole game. “W.” Last year. Fritz Swanson Tackle “Swede” could R ive and take punishment. He was always blockinR kicks or tacklinR a man “behind the line.” He has played his last foot¬ ball for W. U. H. S. “W.” Bud Ruschin End And what an end! He could catch passes as a lizard catches flies. He was a deadly charger of any opposition that came around his end. He surely had nerve. “W” and one star. Last year. Sid Lawlor End The galloping ghost. Could that boy run ? The opposing safety man never got started after a kick. Two years more. Anthony Fields Guard He could hardly be called a pony guard, but he went wherever he wanted. He surely could open holes for the backs to go through. Last year. [ 48 ] Ray Jolliff Onarfcrback Ray, the pilot of the team, was a ood all¬ -round backfield man, fast and a hard player. He passed, kicked, and carried the pigskin a great deal. He surely hit the forward wall hard. “W” and one star. Last year. James Cull Center Jim, the best center since the days of “Browm- ie” Bettencourt, was al- w a y s on somebody-s neck, or wrapped about somebody’s legs. He was a tough man for an op¬ ponent to gain yards through. “W.” Last year. Frank Mattos Guard A good guard when one was needed. He was always at the bottom of the pile, and biting off tongue. Keep it up, “Hoot.” Two years more. Reuben Ferry Guard “Reuben, get that guy with the ball.” He got him. That was Reuben all over. He was too big to get by, and too pow¬ erful to be held. “W” and one star. One more year. Jack Cahill Halfback Our bold Irishman full of fighting spirit. He re¬ minds us of air—every place at once. He seldom missed a tackle. You played good ball. Jack. One year more. Tom Silva End Tom always managed to get all the scratches and bruises, but we’re not saying what hap¬ pened to the opponents. Last year in school. [ 49 ] Joe Bernardo Halfback Here’s a freshman who won a berth on the squad. He was always in the g ' ame to the final n. His specialty was run¬ ning interference. Manuel Gonzales T ackle And what a tackle! Built like a bull and about as strong. They couldn’t stop him when he want¬ ed to o. Two years more. Richard Silva Halfback “Richie” could be de¬ pended upon to play it well. He had an accurate eye for passing, and a pTood toe for kicking-. Last year. James Bunker Quarterback Pretty little quarter¬ back. His favorite word was sig-nals. When he got the ball no one could catch him. He surely could run. Last year. Clarence Pine Halfback And what a scrappy little man! He put out two opposing men in ev¬ ery game. He has one more year. William Wyatt Guard A beautiful blonde of the strawberry variety who knew how to play in the guard’s shoes. He had lots of spirit and fire. This hard worker deserves lots of credit. Last year. [ 50 ] Lawrence Pine Center A direct opposite of Wright when it came to size, but he knew how to muss things up. Good going, “Bally ’ Two years more. George Robinson Center Cull’s second. His passes-back were like a bullet for accuracy. He was always there when he was needed. One year more. Robert Wright Center A tall, handsome blonde who liked to play football against big teams. And could he cen¬ ter a ball ? One year more. Lawrence Avilla End Avilla was a hard fighting end. He was al¬ ways on his toes. He surprised us when he played like an All-Amer¬ ican. Leland Silva T ackle And what a tackle! A good looking fellow who knew his stuff when it came to football. One more year. Eugene Dusterberry Oiiarterhack “Seagulls! 9, 8, 25, 44!” That was Dusty’s by-word. He could catch passes, too, and was a fast open field runner. One year more. [511 R(Miiaindor of the Football Scjuad Jootball The 192 8 football season opened full of pep and ginger. It experienced the larg¬ est number turning out for the gridiron in the history of Washington High. With plenty of boys training for the positions on the first squad, the competition was keen. After thinning out the squad three teams remained to uphold their Alma Mater. Practice was indulged in an earnest preparation for the first game with San Leandro. The Washington Cornhuskers won that game 6 to 0. The prospect of a successful season was great. The season wore on; the team won games and lost games. But because of an epiderric that resulted in the closing of school, Washington High had to forfeit two of the league games. This epidemic also weakened the old fire of the team. The season came to an end soon after the Cornhuskers went down to a 39 to 0 defeat at the hands of the rivals, namely, the Hayward Farmers. The squad made no great records. In fact, the boys made no record at all, but they did the best they knew how. They played a clean, hard-fought game and fought to the very end. What more can be expected of any team? I..

While our school was on its way to develop basketball as a regular sport, much to the regret of the Loyal Cornhuskers, it was dropped for the seaso n of 1927-2 8 because a place was not available for practice and home games. Last season, being invited to play the games at Hayward, our school once more entered the A. C. A. L. for basketball. In reviewing the work of our basketball team during the last season, we are likely to be critical of the number of games lost. However, we, as the critics, must not be pessimistically inclined. We must take into consideration the reason for the result from all stand-points. After losing all the games in the first half of the series our team dropped from the league. Thus the season ended without achievements, but illustrating more than ever the need of a gymnasium at Washington Union High School.

S. started early in training for track, but this sport received little support as more interest was taken in baseball at the time. Although the boys were handicapped with inadequate training, Captain Ramos and his teammates fought through the season without a word of complaint. The boys did very well in the various meets. In our annual dual track-meet with Hayward, the Cornhuskers, although not winning, ran up a sizeable score. Points were also taken in the County meet and North-Ccast-Section meet. On one occasion three Washington men participated for Hayward against Watsonville and helped to win the track meet. None of the meets were held on our home grounds. Atlhough we did not win the meets of the 1929 track season, the training was beneficial to all those participating in the sport. Washington Union High School has never lost a dual track meet to Hayward until 1926. And there is no reason why we can not have a winning team again. r 54 ] Top Row: Coach Rejrli. Fereira.

The start of the season found Centerville rated very low in the league, but with excellent pitching and with excellent support by the rest of the team, coupled with good hitting, the varsity went through the season with but three league defeats. The team should be highly complimented for such a commendable showing against such large schools.

With the first game on October 1, the contest for championship started out most successfully. Four games were played to determine the winner. In the final game the fourth period team, was proclaimed victorious. VOLLEYBALL Volleyball has been exceptionally popular this year.

Some people are trying to eliminate baseball as a girls’ sport in high schools, but this will be difficult, for the girls take great interest in it. As this volume goes to press the girls are en¬ joying the sport. SPEEDBALL Speedball is a new sport m girls’ athletics this year. This sport which was de¬ veloped recently provides a diversion and a chance for the girls to have training in a more strenuous sport. With so much enthusiasm manifested among the girls it seems only natural that the next progressive move would be the inter-scholastic games. The school is proud of the loyal spirit displayed by the girls during the year. Si)(‘cdl)ji)l (’;i])tains: I). Van Dccvoort, IE Silva, F. Amaral, A. Oliveria, M. White, Pb Itogers, Coach, McM illan. [ 57 ] A view of the girls’ rooting section and the hand d iring the Hayward foot])all game. ig Rally Full of pep and vinegar” is the old fighting spirit that predominates before all our big games. The rallies are held before these games to put enthusiasm in both team and rooters. One of the greatest of these rallies was held on the evening of November 14 be¬ fore the big traditional football game. Many Washington students, alumni, and friends gathered in the auditorium to pay homage to our fighting team. This rally was in charge of the yell leader. Larry Brownie” Bettencourt, the 1927 All-American Center, was the main speaker, who inspired the boys to do their best. Coach Regli and Captain Leonardo spoke on our hopes of defeating our rivals. Many alumni gave a short talk, pleading with the boys to fight to the last. The girls’ rooting section also created much pep for the rally, and the band was right there. With enthusiasm at its height, with every one fired with the spark of the inimitable Washington Spirit, the Spirit of 1899” was once more awakened, as the rally was brought to a close with the stirring notes of Hail to Old Washington.” The Girls’ Rooting Section Just before the big football game a group of girls met with Miss McMillan and organized a very peppy rooting section. Never before has such an organization taken an active part in school affairs. Flashing Black and Orange this group led by Isobel Thcmas and her assistants, Laura Peixctto and Geraldine Harlan, encouraged school spirit at the rally and the game with m.uch enthusiasm.

Back of almost every notable feature of her activities, there is that progressive spirit, which must be the underlying stimulus of present achievemnts and future successes, which is responsible for the vigorous growth and the world leadership of our nation.

[ 59 ] Social Events Assemblies This year the sudent body assemblies were held once a month instead of weekly as in the former years. They were both interesting and succssful. These assemblies proved to be an important part of school life. The students and faculty gather in the auditorium for an hour of recreation and inspiration as well as constructive participa¬ tion in student self-government. One of the features of these meetings was the remarkable programs of addresses and entertainments by prominent professional men and women. Freshman Reception Each year the girls’ league gives the freshman girls a reception. This year was no exception, and so a bigger and better party was given. The big sister idea was car¬ ried out, each upper class girl taking a freshman girl as a sister. Such an attitude helps to promote friendship and good feeling between the upper and lower classmen. The new members were told of the ideals of the girls’ league and a short play was given which explained the code. At the close of the reception, punch and cookies were served. Thanksgiving Ball The first and the most successful dance of the school year was the Thanksgiving ball. It was a huge success in all ways not excepting the refreshments. The music was furnished by Oliver Campos’s orchestra. The affair was held in the grammar school auditorium of Alvarado on December fiTst. ITe hall was decorated m accordance with the time. On the stage was a large horn of plenty with various fruits and vegetables in it. This was surrounded by differ¬ ent greens. [ 60 ] fSl Christmas Party The girls’ league entertained the student body at the annual Christmas party on December 14. There was a very enjoyable program which consisted of a stunt from each class and musical numbers. Delicious refreshments were served after which danc¬ ing was enjoyed. Ray Crane’s orchestra furnished the music. When it was announced that the busses were to leave, everyone departed hoping that the girls’ league would soon entertain again. Sophomore Party After having to postpone the party twice, the sophomore class entertained the student body in February. The Parish Hall in Centerville was decorated with red and white crepe paper and with red hearts. The corners and walls of the hall were hidden by pa lms. The music was furnished by Earnest Pimentel’s orchestra. When Home Sweet Heme” was played, everyone left thinking that the evening had gene too swiftly. Freshman Party On Friday evening, April fifth, about eighty freshmen, the faculty, and the trustees and their wives met in the auditorium for the freshman party. The hall was decorated with lilacs, iris, and roses, which were arranged very artistically. Dancing and games were enjoyed by all present. Everyone was dancing to music furnished by Jim Bunker’s orchestra, when it was announced that refreshments were ready to be served. The party was declared a great success by all those attending, and the faculty and trustees expressed the hope that a party just as enjoyable will be given by each fresh¬ man class.

Great interest was taken in it because it was made into a class contest. The class of ' 3 1 won the contest. This was the second time this class took the lead. Irma Dutra, one of its members, was the individual star in helping to win both contests. Because of the success of the last paper drive and the help from the board of trustees, the student body was able to purchase a new curtain for the auditorium. The money from the first paper drive was used to buy one hundred chairs for the auditorium two years ago. Play Day On April 20, the girls of three high schools, Hayward, Amador, and Washing¬ ton Union, took part in a play day, sponsored by the Girls’ W” Club of Washing¬ ton High School. Each girl of Washington High School was assigned as a hostess to one of the guests of the visiting high schools. The program for the morning was divided into three periods. The games that were played were the following: darts, croquet, base¬ ball, basketball, volleyball and track events. During the luncheon, there were speeches from the deans of the girls, and plays, stunts, and dances by the girls of the three schools, which concluded the successful play day. Public School Week On April 25, many people of the township enjoyed a fine program given at the high school. A band concert was given on the school lawn at five o’clock. At the evening program, which started at eight o’clock, the main speakers were Mrs. Roland Bendel, on ‘‘Better Homes” and Dr. William Proctor, on “Making a Life While Making a Living.” A group of Centerville Grammar School girls sang several songs. Both the band and the orchestra took part in the evening program. The exibition of different grammar schools and several of the high school classes were interesting features of the program.

Scholarship Society Fete On May third the scholarship societies of Mission High School, San Francisco, and Hayward Union High School were guests of our society at a social entertainment. Games and dancing made up the evening program. Delicious refreshments were served before the closing dances. Mothers ' Tea The girls of Washington Union High School were hostesses for the third time during the school year when they had their mothers as guests on May 13 at a tea. The mothers were given corsages and were entertained with a delightful program which consisted of a short play, musical numbers, and a dance. At the close of the program delicious refreshments were served. Fashion Show On the evening of May 24th, under the direction of Mrs. Josephine Morris, the students of the clothing classes of the home economics department presented their third annual style show to the people of the comnnunity. A lovely garden scene served as the setting for the models. The clothes used in this show were worn by the students for whom they were made, and who, in most instances made the clothes themselves.

The appreciation for helpful cooperation and personal service in molding the best in photography, engraving, and printing into the unity’ of this volume goes to Mr. A. de Martinez of Schwarz’s Studio of Oakland, Mr. Warburton of the Com¬ mercial Art and Engraving Co. of San Francisco, and Mr. Smith, of Modesto, the pub¬ lisher, and Mr. Kibby of our school printing department and his printing class. The gratitude for a financial success goes to the advertisers, the members of the senior play cast and their director. Miss Taylor, and the subscribers themselves. A word of thanks goes to the class advisers who were very helpful guides to the staff. They are Mr. Kibby, chief adviser. Miss McMillan in management. Miss Sayles in art, Mrs. Hodges in literary, and Mr. Hodges, general adviser. The following students have also cooperated with the staff: James Bunker, Ros¬ alie Joyce, Dorothy Van Dervoort, Richard Hotchkiss, and William Wyatt as solicitors to the business manager, and Frances Habenicht, Josephine Humphrey, Toshi Sato, and Howard Blacow as assistants to the editorial staff.

The pensketches of the first volume are especially fine. The Progress—Washington Union High School, Easton, California. At least the name is familiar to us.

[73 ] Now when you read these jokes, dear folks, Be nice and don’t get sore; Don’t go around and crab and say, I’ve heard that joke before.” The Ford Psalm The Ford is my master; I shall not live in peace; It maketh me to lie down in mud and dust; It leadeth me in the paths of grease; It restoreth my license dues; It prepares a string of bills before me in the presence of my creditors; Yea, though I go through the dark shadows of night I know it is with me; The jolting of the springs causeth me to ache; It anointest my head with oil; My wrath runneth over; Surely if this thing follows me all the days of my life, I shall dwell in the house for the insane forever. Miss Sandholdt: (Watching math. IV class working at board). Ray, what will you have if you invert the pi in your problem”? Marjorie (from back of rocm) : An awful mess.” Edna: How’ja make out in the biology exam? Ethel: Didn’t pass, but I came pretty close. Edna: How close? Ethel: Only two seats from the correct answer. Doris: Did you ever hear about a Scotchman that forgot and left his change on the counter? Hazel: No, where? Doris: Nobody else ever did. [ 74 ] M ' ppo ' Hoi Fct ' f ' Ya R Qdt Cap- .

Ruth: For two per cent I’m not interested. Tip To The Wise All things come to him who waits, But here’s a rule that’s slicker. The man who goes for what he wants. Will get it all the quicker. Marjorie: What is a synonym?” Dot: A word that means the same as a word that you can’t spell.” Marjorie: You’re wrong.

For instance, when one merely looks At covers dull, or bright with sheen. He ne’er can tell what is between Until he reads. A gaudy dress May be the cloak of emptiness, While bindings plain and poor and thin May held a wealth of thought within. Like books, some men are good, some bad. Some humorous, some dull and sad. Some shallow, others strong and deep; Some swiftly move, while others creep, Seme arc but fiction, others truth. Some reach old age, some die in youth; But just a few can dimly sec The goal of immortality! STATISTICALLY SPEAKING Bert S.: Water has killed more people than whiskey ever did. Andrew A.: How do you make that out? Bert S.: Well, to begin with, there was the flood.

A lettuce which?” Frosh: Yeh, a lettuce sandwich without the sand. James B.: Do you know the oldest song on the campus? Ray J.: No, but I know the refrain. James B.: What is it? Ray: Refrain from smoking! FIVE POINTS OF ADVICE TO GIRLS 1. Keep away from track men; they are usually fast. 2. Never make dates with biology students; they enjoy cutting up too much. 3. The football man is all right; he will tackle anything. 4. Watch out for the baseball man; he hits and runs. 5. Be careful of the member of the dramatic club; he usually has several lines. KEEP GOING James C. went to the picture show the other night and saw The Purple Garment.” Came home and slept in purple pajamas. The next night he saw The Black Mantle.” Came home and slept in his black night shirt. Last night he saw The Follies.” Now the durned fool is about to die with the pneumonia. [ 77 ] •f- !
