ES LIDRI WASHINGTONIAN 1935 VOLUME XII Published by the Senior Class of the WASHINGTON UNION HIGH SCHOOL Centerville, California FOREWORD Mexico was chosen for a theme this year because it suggests adventure, and we are all adventurers seeking knowledge, wis¬ dom, and an understand¬ ing of the ways of the world. � � With pictures, jokes, and the story of the activities of the year, we have tried to preserve and substantiate the memories of the good times we have had, of the friends we have made, of the com¬ radeship we have en¬ joyed, and of the adventures we have shared. DEDICATION To our fellow-classmates, to the lower classmen, to our teachers and advisors—pals all—the Senior Class of 1935 affectionately dedicates this twelfth issue of the annual Washingtonian.” � � In do¬ ing so it is our aim to show our gratefulness for advice given, and our appreciation of the friendships shared and of the understanding comradeship that has inspired higher ideals. ADMINISTRATION The opposite page symbol¬ izes our school administra¬ tion. The chief administrator directs both teachers and students. As clay is molded and shaped, so we students have our school education and lives shaped and mold¬ ed by our instructors and advisers. The sort of finished product we become depends to a large extent on our¬ selves and on how we use our oppor¬ tunities. MR. OVERACKER MR. LOGAN MR. SCOTT MR. OLIVEIRA MR. HARROLD President Clerk Board of Trustees EACH year through the efficient and willing guidance of the trustees and the interest which they take in the school many improvements are made. This year an earthquake survey has been made in preparation for strength¬ ening the main building and shops against earthquake destruction. There have also been many improvements in the grounds, including new lawns, flower beds, new turf on the athletic fields, leveling the grounds around the gymnasium and garage, and improving the track. A real achievement of the board has been in keeping the tax rate low while making these fine improvements. The members of the student body appreciate the loyal support and co¬ operation of these men. The school has been well cared for and is one of which we can well be proud. [ 7 ] A. J. RATHBONE Principal Administration ALTHOUGH this year ' s idea of a Mexican theme brings to one ' s mind the thought of great stretches of wild, strangely beautiful desert where life is filled with adventure, we must realize that our adventures must be guided and directed toward the right paths by those who, by reason of their long experience, ore best fitted to direct and guide. Our guides during the past term, Mr. Rathbone, Miss Sandholdt, and Mr. Goold, have been unexcelled in their work. Their splendid and inspiring leadership, coupled with their friendly and skillful ad¬ vice is, in large measure, the reason for the happy and profitable outcome of our adventure during 1934-35. Mr. Rathbone, meeting weekly with the seniors in friendly and informal talks, Mr. Goold, at times a kindly despot, but always a friendly pal, and Miss Sand¬ holdt, always cheerfully aiding and advising, and this year ending twenty-five years of service at Washington, constitute a trio of administrative officers for whom we have only heartfelt gratitude, and to whom we owe our utmost thanks.

Credit for the interesting and valuable student body meetings should go to the program chairman, Arthur Duarte, and to the faculty adviser, Mrs. Wright. lack Rathbone, Student Body President, conducted the meetings well, and in addition, gave unstintingly of his time for the advancement of the student body. All of the other officers, Arthur Duarte, Vice-President, Doris Machado, secretary; Donald Flores, treasurer; Robert Ziegler, Hatchet editor; Bernice Peixotto, girls ' athletic manager; Fred Andrade, boys ' athletic manager; and William Garcia, yell-leader, have also worked long and hard at their respective positions. Backing up the above officers to the limit has been the rest of the student body, successfully putting on the various dramatic productions and all the rest of the activities, and, all in all, setting up an excellent year ' s record.

Its duties are to conduct the business affairs of the student body and to control its policies. The Student Council ' s first business was to determine the privileges to be secured by each student who became a member of the Associated Students. These privileges, as finally decided upon, were as follows: admission to all games and dual meets held in home territory under the auspices of the Asso¬ ciated Students, all issues of the Hatchet, two student body dances, two student body plays, and fifty cents toward the purchase of the Annual . The next important business taken up by the Council was the approval of the yearly budgets. An estimation of the fi nancial needs of each organization was turned in, and the Council passed upon these estimations and finally bal¬ anced the budget. During the year two large pieces of equipment were purchased. First, stage furniture and lighting equipment, and, second, baseball suits. The second was made possible by a card party sponsored by the Boys ' W Club and the Lion ' s Club of Centerville. In this, its fourth year, the Student Council again proved its value by con¬ ducting the affairs of the student body efficiently and wisely. [II] CLASSES Forward we work and toil to some high, distant goal with worthy ambitions and cherished ideals holding us firm in pur¬ pose. Many will fall before that goal is reached; many will at¬ tain the goal for which they now strive; many will out-distance their classmates and pass goal¬ post after goalpost, always striv¬ ing for better things; but all will move forward ever mindful of the ideals of loyalty and good fellowship learned in these high school classes.

The Senior Class THE four years of study, accomplishments, mistakes, hopes, and friendships are viewed with feelings of regret as well as feelings of satisfaction. From awed freshmen to high and mighty seniors, the class of ' 35 has taken up school life with zest, faithfully upholding the school traditions. The senior year has been one of many pleasant activities. Senior Nights were held successfully on December 7, February 22, and May 3. Profitable candy sales were held at various functions. The Alumni Banquet and Dance, May 24, provided many jovial reunions and a good time for everyone. On May 31, the senior play was produced to a capacity house audience. The senior breakfast, and the farewell assembly were held June 4. Com¬ mencement was June 6, and the Senior Ball June 7.

For the third successive year they have won the Student Body Card Sale Drive. The scholarship records of juniors have been most impressive. Their ability to dispose of candy during their candy sales is remarkable. They have been well represented in the Student Body plays, Vodvil, and Operetta. It has been a splendid year for the juniors in athletics. They obtained a distinction by adopting a new design for their senior rings, which are without the usual stone. The most important social event of the junior year was the Junior-Senior Prom held in the big gymnasium on Friday evening. May 10. The decorations were the real surprise of the evening. Hawaiian Night was the theme chosen for the setting. As each senior entered the dancing floor, he was presented with a lei in the class colors, red and white. Only too soon one o ' clock came, the lights of the gym flickered and went out, and the laughing voices of the revellers grew dim as the last cars hurried out through the darkness, carrying their share of happy high school youth. With such a history the Junior Class is looking ahead toward their senior year, which they hope to make still more successful.

CLASS ADVISERS [ 19 ] The Sophomore Class THE history of the class of ' 37 has become a part of the history of the school as the various class members have begun to play an important part in high school life. The class has always been cooperative in all undertakings, having made all its school activities prove successes. The stars of the gridiron have successfully started their transit across the athletic firmament. Everyone remembers the jolly good time at the Sophomore Hop, which was held October fifth in the big gymnasium. An important project was undertaken by the class when it edited the March 15th Hatchet. This attempt, under the editorship of Bob Kibby with the help of Margbret Wells and George West as associate editors, was an eminent success. Another.important task has been the managing of the school museum, under the direction of Katherine West and Himeo Hayashi. This year one part of the case was reserved for a permanent exhibit of interesting articles owned by the schgol; the other part was used for frequently changed exhibits of interesting class work. The most recent activity of the class was a successful candy sale at the Vodvil.

They were, per¬ haps, a little frightened at the terrible fate awaiting all scrubs in the freshman initiation. Following the adjustment period, their looks of wonderment changed to en¬ joyment in their studies and enthusiasm for their outside activities as they visualized the happy days ahead of them. The class of ' 38 took up school life with eagerness, and entered into all activities with much spirit and enthusiasm. They have had a fine representation in the Christmas play, in athletics, in band, orchestra, the glee club, in the Scholarship Society, and in the operetta. The Class of ' 38 entertained the school at a dance in the big gymnasium on February 9. In their first year in high school the freshmen have shown their ability to take part in all phases of school life, and through their cooperation with class and student body officers have had a successful year.

Hatchet UNDER the leadership of the two faculty advisers, Miss Knoles and Mr. Kibby, and the editor, Robert Ziegler, the Hatchet, our school newspaper, continued publication in a manner very similar to that of previous years. It is a four-page five-column paper and is printed bi-monthly, under the sole direction of the stu¬ dents, with the aid of Mr. Kibby and Miss Knoles. Page one of the Hatchet is devoted to the latest and most up-to-date school news. Page two contains the editorials and such features as book reviews, news of alumni, the principal ' s column, jokes, and news of other high schools. Page three is devoted to older news, and page four is made up of news of boys ' and girls ' sports. Perhaps the most outstanding undertaking of the Hatchet this year was the edition of April 12 in honor of the three-hundredth anniversary of the found¬ ing of American high schools. This issue contained more than double the usual number of pages, including, in addition to the regular features, many unusual articles of historical interest. This issue was a real accomplishment and is looked back upon with much pleasure and satisfaction by the editor and staff. The Hatchet staff expresses its appreciation to Mr. Kibby and his printing classes for their untiring work, to Miss Knoles for her friendly and skillful assist¬ ance, and to the Commercial Department for typing all the material published. [ 25 ] IRMA HODGES Editor PATSY BARTON VERNON ELLSWORTH GWENDOLYN MILLET Business Manager Advertising Manager Assistant Editor Washingtonian THIS year ' s annual, Washingtonian , is the product of the untiring efforts of the Senior Class Annual Staff and a capable group of advisers, which included Miss Van Winkle, Miss Botelho, and Mr. Kibby. Much credit for the book ' s suc¬ cess is due to the hard-working editor-in-chief, Irma Hodges, and to the assistant editor, Gwendolyn Millet. The success of financing the book may be attributed largely to the efforts of the business manager, Patsy Barton, and her assistant, Vernon Ellsworth. The Staff also appreciate the help given by Mrs. Hawley in reading proof. The financial aid given by our advertisers was indispensable and appreci¬ ated. The section pages and part of the printing were done in the printshop under the supervision of Mr. Kibby. The art work, under the direction of Miss Botelho, was exceptionally good. New features added this year include the sports car¬ toon page. Coach ' s page, and the page for tennis. The baby page, which was so entertaining last year, was included again this year. The aim of this year ' s Washingtonian staff has not been to publish an an¬ nual better than any published before, but rather to turn out the best annual pos¬ sible, one that would preserve an attractive as well as interesting record of this year ' s school life.

This year the activities of the league have been numerous, and Miss Sand¬ holdt, the adviser, deserves especial credit for her friendly, tireless guidance. The League ' s first activity was the Freshman Reception, held to acguaint the school with the new members. The League also sponsored the Football Banquet given annually for the members of the championship football squad, the Christmas Program, a party for the senior girls, and the Senior Farewell Assembly. One of the most important activities of the League this year has been the furnishing of the Girls ' Club Room in the South Correction Room of the gym¬ nasium.

The Scholarship Society THE purpose of this organization is to give recognition to those students who have achieved a high standard in their subjects and in school activities. The local Chapter III of the California Scholarship Federation was organized in 1925. Eligibility is based upon a point system. A grade of A in a full academic subject counts three points; grade ' ' B one. A student may earn two points in extra-curricular activities. Ten points are necessary for membership, which is for the semester following the one in which the required points have been earned. All students who have attained membership for six semesters are awarded a gold seal on their diplomas, life membership in the C. S. F., and a beautiful gold scholarship pin. Three students who have already fulfilled the require¬ ments are Irma Hodges, Luella Hudson, and Leona Solon. Other students may achieve life membership by the close of the semester. The membership in the society this spring has reached a new high of thirty-three. This year delegates were sent to the district convention at Alameda and to the state convention at Hayward. A deputations committee was chosen to present a program to the elementary schools of the township. Under the leadership of the advisers. Miss Knoles, and Mr. Webb, and the officers, Emmanuel Maciel, President; Luella Hudson, Vice-President; and Betty Roraback, Secretary, the society has completed a record year. [ 29 ] First Row: M.

An ad¬ ditional 250 points entitle her to a star. One hundred points are given for mak¬ ing a first team, fifty for making a second team, and ten points for acting as a captain. Since the organization of the Girls ' W Club in 1928, the membership has never before reached this year ' s high total of twenty-six. A new individual record has been set by Irma Hodges, who has earned her fifth star. The club sponsored Girls ' Play Day, held here on May 4, to which all the girls of neighboring high schools were invited. Although it was not customary, the members of the W Club acted as referees for the games. By doing this they offset the expense of hiring outside officials.

Boys’ “W” Club ONE of the W Club ' s biggest undertakings this year was a whist party held on Friday, February 15, 1935, and sponsored by the Lions ' Club for the benefit of Washington ' s athletics. The funds secured from the card party made possible the purchase of baseball suits. The members of the W Club worked hard to make the whist party the success it was. On the night of April 20, 1935, the Boys ' W Club gave a dance for the mem¬ bers of the Student Body. Because everyone enjoyed himself at this dance, the boys were proclaimed excellent hosts. Initiation was held in May with approximately 25 new members riding the goat . OFFICERS WILLIAM GARCIA.PRESIDENT SAM DINSMORE.VICE-PRESIDENT HARRY CESARI. ... SECRETARY COACH REGLI.ADVISER [ 31 ] Future Farmers THE Future Farmers, by their loyal support and cooperation with their officers and adviser, have made this year one of the most successful ones in agriculture in W. U. H. S. At the beginning of the school year, as in the past, a program of ' work and activities was laid out. This year most of the program was carried out. Parents ' Night was held in November, with about ninety persons attending. At this affair the boys told about chapter, community, and individual projects which were well under way. The next activity was the Future Farmer Calf Show, given as an outdoor Student Body Assembly, in which there was a demonstration of dry milk feeding for cheapening the cost of raising calves. Thirty-three calves and heifers ranging from four weeks to twenty-two months old were shown, with the best groups and individuals receiving prizes. This year ten Future Farmers were sent to the Great Western Live Stock Show and Convention held in Los Angeles. Five boys were also sent to the State Fair for the purpose of judging live stock and of enjoying the sights which the Fair had to offer. The annual F. F. A. Dance, to which the student body and faculty were invited, was held in December. This year community projects for the improvement of farming methods in Washington Township and for the purpose of discovering new facts for the use of local farmers were started. Two of these projects are commercial fertilizer trials on cauliflower and peas. From the planting of fifty-six varieties of peas on warm Mission San Jose land, it is hoped that a variety more adapted to the hills [ 32 ] than the Laxton Progress will be found. We also have set out in ten different farms the Bliss Triumph Potato, which we believe will out-yield the Garnet Potato by one-third. A cover crop trial was laid out on land which later will be put into tomatoes. The cover crops used were horse beans, vetch, mustard, rye, and melilotus. The Future Farmers are also carrying on a feeding demonstra¬ tion with dairy cows to increase production of milk and lower costs of feed. During activity period this year we have had a number of interesting speak¬ ers such as Mr. Cowell, who spoke on electricity and its uses. Don Snider spoke to us on San Luis Polytechnic School. Dick Werner spoke about dry milk feed¬ ing, showing how it cheapens cost. B. L. Wade of the U. S. Department of Agri¬ culture spoke to us on the pea situation and on different varieties of peas. For recreation this year we have had basketball games with other Future Farmers ' teams, including Campbell, Morgan Hill, and Watsonville. Some¬ thing new this year was the achievement contest in which boys were awarded points for various types of work done by them. The five high boys during each quarter were awarded trips. The officers this year were: President, A1 Muniz; Vice-President, Frank George; Secretary, Albert Pine; Treasurer, Isadore Naia; Reporter, Anthony Silva; Adviser, Mr. Dougherty. Inkling THE Inkling , literary magazine of Washington Union High School, was pub¬ lished this year with Helen Barton as Editor-in-Chief and Marjorie Griffin as As¬ sociate Editor. The adviser was Mrs. Hockinson. As usual the magazine con¬ tained essays, sketches, poems, short stories, and other articles worthy of pub¬ lication. All of the articles used in the Inkling were original. There were three prizes awarded this year, where previously there have been but two. Robert Kibby was the business manager. [ 33 ] Glee Club THE large membership of the Glee Club this year has shown the enthusiasm of the students for vocal music. The variety of the numbers that the Club has put on proves that it is becoming one of the more prominent organizations of the school. The students of the school enjoyed assemblies of group singing and special numbers given by the Glee Club under the capable direction of Mr. Billeci. In addition, the Glee Club assisted with three major productions, the Christmas pageant, Gloria ; the operetta, Chonita ; and the Vodvil. The Christmas pageant was a series of colorful scenes, and with the music from the Glee Club it told an age old story, while the operetta was a very musical affair portraying gypsy life. Groups chosen from the club also sang four part music in one of the acts of the Vodvil. Orchestra and Band THE members of the orchestra and of the band, under the instruction of Mr. Billeci, cooperated and showed an admirable spirit in attempting to give the school a band and an orchestra of which they could be proud. A good many beginners came out for band at the beginning of the school year. The group was so large, in fact, that Mr. Billeci had to divide it. Assembly programs were enlivened by music from the orchestra several times during the past year. Some of the success of the Vodvil was due to a special group chosen for that production from the band and orchestra, and part of the success of the operetta, Chonita, was also due to a small theatre orchestra. The band, through coordination and precision in drilling, perfected drill maneuvers which made a splendid showing at games, at the dedication of the historic mission of San Jose, and at the Niles Pet Parade. It also played for graduation. [ 34 ] “The Whole Town’s Talking” THE Student Body Play was a farce comedy in three acts, given November 2. Henry Simmons, played by Emmanuel Maciel, is the owner of a paint factory in Sandusky. He hopes his daughter will marry his bookkeeper, Chester Binney, portrayed by Harry Cesari. To bring about the marriage between Chester and his daughter, Ethel, played by Margaret Wells, Mr. Simmons makes Chester his partner and then circulates rumors of a fictitious love affair between Letty Lythe, and Chester. The affair with Miss Lythe, played by Betty Robinson, causes much excitement and furor in the Simmons ' home. Ethel returns home accompanied by a friend, Roger Sheilds, played by Lawrence Gonsalves, and avoids Chester until the rumors of his deep, dark past reach her ears. Complications set in when Letty Lythe and her jealous fiance, Donald Swift, played by Walter Rose, appear in Sandusky. Miss Lythe and Mr. Swift hear of the rumors and demand explanations. The truth finally comes out and the curtain falls on a happy family. Others in the cast who gave equally good characterizations were: Mrs. Sim¬ mons, Raymona Mellow; Lela and Sally, two very romantic girls, Katherine Rath- bone and Inez McNally; Sadie Bloom, a dancing teacher, Edna King; the maid, Annie, Edith Meneze; and the taxi driver, Alton Jennings. Miss Botelho directed the play. Exchange Program FOLLOWING the path of good will that was inaugurated two years ago, the Exchange Program was again presented at Emeryville, Livermore, and Hay¬ ward. A variety program was given with many students participating. John Ac- cinelli thrilled his audience with his accordion solos; Barbara Straub recited several of her own poems; Byrde Morris did a clever tap dance; Japanese stu¬ dents, directed by Shizu Mitsuyoshi, presented a song and dance; Doris Machado sang several popular numbers; a dancing chorus of girls, directed by Bernice Weber, was presented in a striking manner; and a Raggedy Ann chorus pro¬ vided amusing entertainment. A good will talk was given by our president. Jack Rathbone, at all the pro¬ grams except the Livermore meeting, at which Vice-President, Arthur Duarte, spoke. The program was arranged by Leona Solon with the help of Miss Knoles, Mrs. Wright, and Miss Sandholdt. [ 36 ] STUDENT BODY PLAY The Whole Town ' s Talking EXCHANGE PROGRAM OPERETTA CHONITA [ 37 ] Washington High Vodvil PENGUINS, Wooden Soldiers, and Lollypops! With such a combination one can imagine no less than an outstanding success for the annual Vodvil which was presented Thursday and Friday nights, February 28 and March 1, in the High School Auditorium. The success was largely due to the combined efforts of Miss Sandholdt, Miss Botelho, and Mr. Rathbone, and to the students who directed the various numbers. The production was presented in three acts. The first act was The Won¬ derful Discovery of Doctor X with Dale Laybourne acting as Doctor X and Betty Robinson as his assistant. Doctor X was supposed to perform miracles and work wonders, and indeed he did all of these. His first miracle was the Wooden Soldiers, with a military drill; his next was a spectacular and colorful dance with a large chorus, the Moonlight Serenaders. These are only two of his wonders and since mistakes are bound to happen. Doctor X s occurred when he gave the wrong potion to produce a prima donna. The results were dis¬ astrous; what was to have been a prima donna proved to be a colored mammy. The second act consisted of a plantation scene with Jack Rathbone acting as negro boss. Clever repartee was exchanged among Harry Cesari, John Cattaneo, and Lawrence Gonsalves. The third and final act was a scene in Little America. The stage set was cleverly arranged with Penguins adding much merriment to the scene. The scene was supposed to have been broadcasted to the states with the states re¬ turning the broadcast. Much laughter was caused by the appearance of Barnacle Bill the Sailor and Olive Oyl , both very ably portrayed by Charles Myrick and Arthur Fereira. The audience also chuckled when Sam Dinsmore ' s Explorers displayed their talents in a very dainty doll dance. The Lollypops, which gave a clever tap dance, were very entertaining, and the Skaters Waltz proved very effective. The finale was a review of all three acts. Much credit goes to Miss Wilson and her sewing classes for the effective costuming. This factor was an important step in making the Vodvil the success it was. About a hundred students participated, and each act was directed by a- stu¬ dent with faculty supervision. [ 38 ] VODVIL 1. Just an Ole ' Negro Family . 2. Cutting the Ice- 3. Penguins 4 .

The story of Gloria is that of a shepherd, who stays behind to tend a wounded lamb; a frightened mother, who flees from the wrath of Herod; and a wise man, who uses his gifts to buy the safety of the baby. Their loving sacrifice is rewarded by a vision of the manger under the star, of the Holy Family, and of the worshippers bearing gifts. The music is inspired by the angeTs song, Gloria in Excelsis Deo. The cast included the following: The prophet priest, Robert Zwissig; the Madonna, Doris Machado; Joseph, Joe Hernandez; Elizabeth, Claire Music; Obed, Eugene Ramsel; Judah, James Silva; Saraden, Clifford Rogers; Messen¬ gers, Peggy Munger, Bernice Lezand, Lillian Hoffman; the Three Kings, John Cattaneo, Lawrence King, Alton Jennings; Shepherds, Lyle Fisher, Leslie Calla¬ han, Vernon Leal, Joe Stuart, Emmanuel Maciel, Lawrence Gonsalves. There were also three choirs of ninety girls who sang from elevated platforms on the stage. Senior Play THIS year, instead of one play, the senior class presented two, Apple Blossom Time on May 29, and Gappy Ricks on May 31. Operetta CHONITA, a gypsy romance, was successfully given in the school auditorium on Friday evening, April 12. Chonita, based on the themes of Franz Liszt, is an operetta the scene of which is laid in a gypsy encampment. All of the characters were ably portrayed by the students chosen. The following were in the cast: Chonita, Bernice Weber; Stephen, Joe Hernandez; Konrad, Lyle Fisher; Murdo, John Cattaneo; Baron Stanescu, Alton Jennings; Baroness Stanescu, Kathrine Rathbone; Daya, Mary- lyn Maciel. The singing and dancing added much gaiety to the operetta. The colorful costumes were also a great asset. Several selections were played between acts by the orchestra. This production, like all of the others, was directed by Miss Botelho and Mr. Billeci. Miss Wilson planned the costumes. [ 40 ] SNAPPY DAYS I. Farmer Brown 2. Going for a Stroll 3.

There SPORTS Like a flourish of the red cape of the matador the year 1935 has flashed by with our losses re¬ corded as well as our gains. We may consider life as a game; some of us are the spectators, some the actual fighters, and some the assistants—all of us are necessary to make the game a success. It is hoped that no matter what part each has played he has learned to play fairly and squarely in the game of life. SPORTS SENIOR BOYS of ' 35, you have come to a time in your life when you must make a decision. There is one question which you must answer for yourselves. Are you going to better your education or are you not? If you do, great opportunities await you, and you will make a success of life. The graduating class of ' 35 has many athletes who have coach regli made a good name for Washington High. You went through a football season undefeated, made the best basketball team that Washington has ever had, and took the fifth consecutive baseball championship. You have played hard, fair, clean, and you have been real sports. Good luck to all of you whatever your undertaking may be. JESS W. REGLI, Coach. To you GIRLS of Washington Union High School, I want to offer my heartiest congratulations for your keen interest in sports, your excellent ability to play hard and well, and your fine sportsmanship displayed throughout this past year. I only hope that your past experiences in friendly competition will make your future years richer, fuller, and happier. I was glad to notice the large turn out for tennis. We more than doubled our group on the ladder. You know, tennis, horseshoes, badminton, pingpong, and croquet are all games you can take with you when you graduate, and you showed good judgment in choosing them. However, don ' t overlook the team sports such as speed- ball, hockey, volleyball, and basketball. These games give you the thrill of team play and cooperation that is not always included in individual sports. May your future hold many happy days of play. IVA LISTON, Girls ' Physical Education Instructor. MISS LISTON [ 43 ] Varsity Football Team JOSEPH AMARAL MANAGER ANDRADE EUGENE BOYCE SAM DINSMORE ARTHUR DUARTE MILTON DURHAM ARTHUR PEREIRA MIKIO HIKIDO DANIEL JUAREZ [ 44 ] Varsity Football ANOTHER excellent football team! And another championship! For the second consecutive year, the championship of the S. A. C. A. L. was won by Washing¬ ton ' s Varsity—with our team being rated one of the best ever produced by W. U. H. S. and Coach Regli. The 1935 season was an exceptional one in view of the fact that the .team not only won the championship but also went through the season undefeated. The achievement is so outstanding that it will set a record for years to come. ' A heavy and hard-charging line and a fast backfield com¬ bination were in a large measure responsible for the team ' s success. To Coach Regli, who taught the boys fundamentals and who instilled in them the idea of fair play, good sportsmanship, and clean hard fighting, should go much of the credit for the team ' s success. In recent years football has been a major sport at W. U. H. S., but win or lose, our teams have always been noted for their fair play. The school is losing some very valuable men by graduation this year such as: King-Kong Phippen, Irish Dinsmore, Lefty Amaral, Romeo Hikido, Tubby Pereira, Flash Rose, Scooter Boyce, Wimpy Manuel, Blackie Duarte, and Dynamite Ziegler. Although the majority of the first-string men are graduating, there are experienced second-string men returning such as L. Silva, M. Durham, W. Sinclair, and D. luarez. With A1 Muniz and Frank Ma- deiros, first-string players, and the experienced second-string players, return¬ ing, the prospects for another championship team are very bright. The Varsity schedule was as follows: SEPT. 14—SENIORS . 6 LOWERCLASSMEN SEPT. 22—ALUMNI . 0 WASHINGTON SEPT. 28—MENLO . 0 WASHINGTON OCT. 5—SANTA CLARA. 6 WASHINGTON OCT. 12—EMERYVILLE . 6 WASHINGTON OCT. 16—ALBANY . 6 WASHINGTON OCT. 19—DEAF SCHOOL. 6 WASHINGTON OCT. 26—HOLLISTER I.

And Victory! In the first year that C team football was organized in the S. A. C. A. L., the baby Huskers followed the lead of their big brother Huskers by winning the championship. The C team set a fine record for their first year of competition. They were defeated but once, the occasion being their first game, which was only a practice game at Burlingame. No points were scored against the team in League com¬ petition, and but 19 points in rion-League competition. The playing of the team wVus outstanding also for the good sportsmanship and clean, hard fighting dis¬ played. To Coach Nunes, who taught the boys the principles of the game, and who instilled in them the idea of fair play always, should go much of the credit for the team ' s success. The prospects for the team ' s success next year are bright because only one boy, Isidore Naia, will be lost through graduation. However, some will prob¬ ably be lost through failure to classify. The C team schedule for the year was: SEPT. 27—BURLINGAME. ....19 WASHINGTON 0—th©r© OCT. 11—EMERYVILLE . .... 0 WASHINGTON.... .... 7—th©r© OCT. 18—CAL.

L. for the fifth consecutive year. In the first league game of the season the Huskers showed much power by defeating Pleasanton by a score of 18-0. Next they defeated twice the Livermore ' Cowboys ; first by a score of 4 to 15 and then by 2 to 11. This year ' s schedule was one of the toughest ever met by any Husker team. Some of the most important practice games that the boys played were: ALAMEDA 2.WASHINGTON 13 CALIFORNIA FROSH 6.WASHINGTON 2 McCLYMONDS 5.WASHINGTON 0 ST.. IGNATIUS 8.WASHINGTON 5 This year the school will lose through graduation such valuable players as: Ed.

Tennis GIRLS ' tennis has been one of the outstanding sports this year with more interest than usual shown. Two tournaments were held, one taking place in the fall, and one in the spring. A new ladder with sixteen movable slips bearing the names of players according to their position was used. Because the girls were playing for a place on this ladder, keen interest was aroused. The results of the tournaments, ar¬ ranged by Miss Iva Liston, placed the contestants. A very unusual and outstanding record, seldom equalled anywhere, has been set by Eleanor Morris, who has won the Girls ' Tennis Championship for four consecutive years. The BOYS ' tennis team under the guidance of Coach Webb made a very impressive record this year. Tournaments with many strong teams, including Hayward, San Leandro, San Jose, and Santa Clara, were arranged by Robert Salz, student manager. Though the boys had a heavy schedule, they won the majority of their matches and showed up well in their second year of interscho- lastic competition. The first four places, determined by a tournament, were held by Dale Lay- bourne, Robert Salz, Robert Ziegler, and Jack Rathbone respectively. The other boys played in doubles. The first match of the year was played with Amador, and gave the boys a clean sweep victory. [ 52 ] First Row—M. Duarte, F. Andrade, B. Sinclair, C. Myrick, J. Cattaneo, A. de Knoop, A.

Girls’ Sports UNDER the capable supervision and instruction of Miss Liston, the girls have had a very interesting year in the field of athletics. The physical education program has been a broad one, including not only games such as speedball, volleyball, basketball, tennis, hockey, and baseball but also calisthenics, and tap-dancing. The girls ' sport year started in the fall with speedball. The addition of a new turf field made the game safer and more enjoyable. Interperiod games were played after school. After many hard-fought games, first and second period classes were left to play for the championship. Excellent games were played by both periods but first period was victorious. Basketball management was carried on as before by electing a captain and manager in each period. Interperiod games wfere played in the gymnasium after school with tournament schedules arranged as usual. First and second periods were again in the finals. This championship game proved very exciting with the two teams keeping the scores fairly even throughout the game. Both teams played hard to the last, but first period shot a goal in the last second winning by the two points scored thus. The captain for the first period was Irma Leal; manager, Lorraine Houck. Volleyball brought new champions. It almost seemed that first and second should meet again, but the two teams had not figured on any competition from third period. Third met second period for the championship, and third won by reason of excellent playing. Third period was captained by Adeline Amaral and managed by Irene Williams. Both the fall and spring tennis tournaments proved to be of interest. Byrde Morris won the tennis championship for the fourth consecutive year—thus set¬ ting an all-time record. She defeated Shizu Mitsuyoshi in the finals. Next on the tennis ladder come Irma Hodges and Olga Gronley in the order named. Croquet was played this year. The only girls eligible for competition were those who have restrictive gym. Hockey, a new sport in this school, the equipment for which was received early in the year, and baseball were played during the spring term. Bernice Peixotto, Girls ' Athletic Manager for the 1934-35 season has handled all athletic affairs very capably. Play Day, which she arranged, was an out¬ standing success.
