WASHINCTOkMilK Published by the Senior Class WAS HINOTON UNION HIGH SCHOOL Centerville, California F 4� r c w � r «l The aim of the class of 1936 in publishing this Washing¬ tonian has been to give to the Student Body an interesting, colorful record of the activities of the school during the past year. It is the hope of the Staff that you will like it. Ke«lic:iti4 ii To Mrs. Morris, for her tireless effort and unselfish sacrifice of time and labor in our behalf; to Miss Van Winkle, for her great interest and kind help in all our undertakings; and to Mr. Dougherty and Mr. Solvason; for their splendid cooperation during the past four years, we the Senior Class of 1936 affection¬ ately dedicate this annual issue of the ‘Washingtonian. ’ Mr. Overacker Mr. Logan President Mr. Scott Mr. Oliveira Mr. Harrold Clerk Itoaril � f Trustees Each succeeding year the Board of Trustees of Washington Union High School makes some outstanding addition to the improvement of our school. This year, which was no exception, the Board has realized the completion of one of the greatest projects it has ever undertaken. This significant step toward the betterment of our school was the reconstruction of the buildings to make them able to withstand the ravages of earthquakes. On December 10 the builders moved in and took possession of the whole main building while the pupils and teachers moved out and held classes in every available place that was not being reconstructed. In spite of the strangeness of their temporary quarters and the siege of rainy weather, classes went on uninterrupted. During the reconstruction period the physical education classes were held out of doors because the gym¬ nasium was turned into a huge classroom, with curtains separating the four classes held daily in the four corners of the building. The administrative force, the typing, and the art classes went to the music building, and other classes were held in the shops. Classes were resumed in the main building in March. To carry its work another step forward the Board had a complete survey of the buildings made and a more adequate lighting system installed. Our trustees have always tackled the many school problems with the sincere slogan “to improve. “ This spring they have adopted plans for the construction agriculture room and a visual education room for the benefit of future Washington Union High School pupils. We have the Board to thank for the beautiful lawns, the turf on the football field, and the flower gardens of which the community may rightfully be proud. It is with deep regard and appreciation that the Student Body of Washington Union High School thanks the personnel of the Board. [ 7 ] Miss E. M. SanHboldt Vice-Principal Mr. J. V. r.oolcl Vice-Principal Mr. A. J. Rathbone Principal Washington Union High School students, coming, going, and gone, can rightfully adopt and modify Abraham Lincoln’s famous quotation and say, ‘‘What we are and will be, we owe to our faithful and loving Administrators.” Always willing to help and ready with worthwhile advice and interest, the ad¬ ministration, which includes Mr. Rathbone, Miss Sandholdt, and Mr. Goold, has worked for the general welfare and progress of our school. Mr. Rathbone’s interest in the students who are being turned out into this competitive world was shown by the informal weekly meetings which were held with the Senior Class. At these meetings Mr. Rathbone told the class of the many racketeers who victimize unsuspecting graduates of high schools and colleges and make them suffer the consequences of money-draining schemes. In his talks Mr. Rathbone touched on the always welcome topic of character and the significant part it holds in leading us to either success or failure. In this way he helped the Senior Class to complement their equipment when they go out to take their places in the world. In Miss Sandholdt and Mr. Goold we find two staunch and loyal friends, who have carried on their work as the Deans of the Girls and Boys. Miss Sandholdt, whose duties include curriculum development, had the opportunity to attend the conference held in Los Angeles this year from March 9 to 12. The memories of the class of 1936, like those of former classes, would not be complete without the familiar faces of these three advisers somewhere in the picture. [ 8 ] Sibyl Botelho, Art Edward H.

This year proved to be another “banner year” when the Student Body again attained one hundred per cent in its membership. A new method of getting new members was used this year. Instead of the usual procedure of having a mem¬ bership drive between classes, the officers of the Associated Students decided to have a contest between the boys and girls. Needless to say, the girls won the drive by a large majority. To show that they were good sports and carried no grudges, the boys gave the girls a party on the Friday afternoon following the close of the contest. Despite the handicaps and interference caused by the reconstruction of the building many fine educational assemblies were given for the benefit of the students. One of the greatest engineering feats—the Bay Bridge—which is tak¬ ing place near us was featured in two assemblies by interesting illustrated lectures by Mr. Hugh Southerland. Earlier in the year Mr. Paul Pitman made one of his “flying visits” to his former home and stayed long enough to say a few words at the assembly that was called for the occasion. The annual custom of exchang¬ ing assembly programs with the neighboring high schools was again carried out this year. The Student Body enjoyed listening to the programs that were pre- ented here, as well as giving our programs at the other high schools. Several student assemblies were featured, and the one which no eye witness can possibly forget was Sally ' s Amateur Hour. Talking about amateur hours, we must not forget to mention the Teachers ' Surprise Assembly, which hand in hand with Sally ' s Amateur Hour, scored the biggest “hit” with the students. The students feel that the Assembly Committee, and the Student Body officers have per¬ formed their duties well.

Sitiiileiit (kHiiicii The Student Council for the school year 1935-1936 has installed the officers elected for next year, thus bringing to a close another successful year in which the Council has again proved its worth and ability as the mainstay of the Student Body. This year’s Student Council constitutes the fifth in line since its introduction as a governing board of the Washington Union High School Student Body. The weekly Monday morning meetings of the Council were all held with the purpose of discussing, as well as overcoming, the many problems of the school and also keeping the students’ life from becoming dull by improving the social activities. The ‘‘seven-in-one” value which the students receive from their Associated Students cards is largely due to the efforts of the hard working Student Council. The Student Body Card admits its holder to all games and dual meets held under the auspices of the Student Body in home territory, to two Student Body dances, to the Student Body play, and entitles the holder to a subscription to the ‘‘Hatchet” and fifty cents in credit toward the purchase of the ‘‘Washingtonian.” The financial question is always one of the weighty problems of any organiza¬ tion, and to the lot of the Student Council falls the task of balancing the student budget. The Council allots to each organization the amount needed for the activities planned for the year. The Council has also assisted the athletes through the purchase of athletic equipment and the awarding of block letters to the members of teams. The Student Body of Washington Union High School appreciates the work done by their officers and by Mr. Rathbone whose advice had much to do with the successful accomplishment of the year’s work.

Tlic Keiiiwr Class The same sun shines on the buildings of Washington Union High School; the same wind howls through the empty spaces of the big gym; but the same class that entered these sheltering portals four years ago will be gone in another week. With the thought of the departure of the Senior Class of 1936 there comes into our minds the long list of the records they have attained during their four years of high school life. Looking over the symposium of the activities of the Senior Class, we find them starting their freshman year by winning the annual Student Body card sale drive and being the first to attain one hundred per cent Student Body membership. For three consecutive years the Class added the winning of this contest to its list of achievements. The sophomore year had its quota of successful parties, candy sale drives, participation in scholastic, ath¬ letic, and extra-curricular activities. These they carried on straight through the junior and senior years. One of the important highlights of the third year was the Junior-Senior Prom with its unique and beautiful Hawaiian setting. The financial situation of the class has never caused any trouble because of the ability of the candy sale committees. Through the hard work of Mrs. Morris and the Senior Council in planning the expenses, it was possible to keep the senior dues down to one dollar and a half for each member. This sum entitled each person to a “Washingtonian ’, graduation announcements and bids, and flowers. Each one could also attend all class activities such as the Senior Ball, the three Senior Nights, Senior Brunch, and Senior Sneak Day. The Senior Nights, arranged by Eleanor Roderick and her committee, began with a dinner dance in the fall. The second was a Valentine party given on Eebruary 14, and the last was a picnic held in the spring. Class activities were planned by the Senior Council, which is a new body in¬ troduced this year to take care of class problems. 7Te Council’s work is similar to that of the Council of the Student Body and is composed of the class officers.

The class has cooperated with the faculty, seniors, and lower classmen and shown its ability in every way possible. Class rings were the object of much discussion until a definite pattern had been approved by the committee. When the rings arrived, they proved very attractive and caused much envy on the part of the lower classmen. The scholastic rating of the juniors is very high as shown by their member¬ ship in the Scholarship Society. Approximately one third of the C. S. F. are juniors. Not only are they members of this scholastic organization, but three of them held offices. The class displayed its journalistic abilities through the medium of the ' ‘Hatchet,” the staff of which is composed almost entirely of juniors. At the opening of the last quarter of the semester a special Junior Edition was published which contained many entertaining write-ups. Seven members of the cast of the Student Body play, The Scarecrow Creeps,” were juniors, thus making it almost a class production. In Gloria,” the Ex¬ change Program for 1935, about twenty members carried honors in leading and minor roles. In the Vodvil” the juniors planned a number of skits, and, on the whole, showed much enthusiasm and talent. The class solved the problem of filling the treasury by introducing for the first time a pay assembly which featured movies of important football games and of Moving Day taken by George West and his assistants. They also held a successful sale of homemade candy the last night of the Vodvil. The Junior-Senior Prom, which was held May eighth, was a semi-formal dance to which the whole school was invited. As is the custom, the evening was dedicated to the seniors by the class which will soon take its place in leadership. The affair was held in the big gymnasium, which had been transformed into a place of beauty. When the hour of twelve arrived the guests departed, de¬ claring the affair delightful, and it is with pleasant anticipation that the school is looking forward to future parties given by this class. The field of sports found much material in the Junior Class. On all the teams, important positions were held satisfactorily, by members of the class. Tennis in particular, boasted both boy and girl participants from the class of ’37. With a full and active year to remember, the seniors-to-be are looking ahead to another successful year. f 18 1 The Junior Class Officers Were: President- Robert Kibby Vice-President-Takeo Hirabayashi Secretary-Abbie Harlan Treasurer_George West Student Council Representative_Robert Solon Girls’ League Representative_ (Marylyn Maciel I Mr. Mette, Chairman Mr. Kibby Mr. Gravestock Mrs. Jackson Mrs. Hawley Tlie So|� li4Hiu rc Class With new ideas and fresh enthusiasm for the coming school year the sophomore class returned to school after vacation. Almost at once they set to work at the task of making the new term a success. Officers were elected, and a schedule for coming activities was planned. The work was so arranged that each member was able to do his share. This sharing of the class work stimulated interest and as a result the class accomplished much while working together as a unit. It was the sophomores that had the honor of giving the first dance of the school year. Autumn was the theme chosen by the decoration committee and everyone worked hard in planning attractive decorations for the gymnasium. The committee made the large room beautiful with autumn leaves, shrubs, and grape vines. Music was provided by Larry s Washingtonians, then newly formed. As the strains of the final waltz died away everyone departed re¬ gretting that so successful an affair was over, and looking forward to future parties given by the class. In the athletic side of school activities the second year boys and girls played an outstanding part. The C Football team was chiefly composed of sopho¬ mores. The same was true of the “C Basketball and the Baseball team. The girls, not to be outdone, took part in speedball, basketball, baseball, and other minor sports. Both the Girl ' s and Boy ' s “W Clubs have members from the second year class. The Sophomore Edition of the Hatchet was one of the finest editions put out. No effort was spared to make this project a success. The work was done by the second year English classes, who after electing two editors and two assist¬ ant editors, planned and wrote the entire edition. In all dramatic productions and exchange programs the class played an eminent part. In “Gloria , “The Scarecrow Creeps , “The Vodvil , and several assembly programs the names of various sophomores figured prominently. In the chorus, orchestra, and band there were a number of sophomores. Success was also achieved by this class in the academic side of school life. They have taken an active part in the affairs of the Scholarship Society in which they are well represented. The office of Secretary, usually held by a senior or a junior was this year held by a sophomore. Now as the class comes to the end of their second year they may look back upon the first two years of high school and consider them as years spent both wisely and well in sports, studies, and social activities. They have no fear in regard to finances because through candy sales and other means they have enough to start them on their junior year. Much is expected of this class in the future and past efforts have shown both teachers and pupils alike that they will not be disappointed in this hope.

They were new and unaccustomed to the regular routine, but it was not long until they were a very important part of the Student Body. The dread of every freshman is Initiation Day, but it turned out to be a day of fun and good sportsmanship. Each freshman came to school in a short dress or in short trousers with one long and one short stocking. With faces painted grotesquely, they paraded through the halls and then adjourned to the gym¬ nasium where the real fun took place. When the fun and nonsense of the day were past, the freshmen settled down to their studies. They elected officers and made many friends among the faculty and upper classmen. Their first party was a grand success and was a great step toward establishing new friendships with their fellow classmates. The majority of freshmen thought themselves too small to compete in inter¬ school athletics and were somewhat hesitant in the beginning about going out for the various teams but those who did soon found themselves an integral part of the athletic program. The ‘ ' C championship football team was made up primarily from the freshmen as was the “C basketball team and the B track team. Many of the larger freshmen found berths o nthe varsity football, track and baseball teams. Next year’s varsity baseball team especially will be built upon a foundation of this year’s freshmen stars who practically formed the nucleus of this year’s team. A number of freshmen tried out for the Student Body play, some of them successfully. Talented freshmen also took part in assembly programs and in the “Vodvil.” There were also four members of the class who won places in the Scholarship Society. This exceptionally large class of eighty-nine boys and one hundred ten girls will probably be one of the largest classes to graduate from the school. The showing that they have made this year in athletics, dramatics, scholarship and other activities leads us to expect fine things from this class during the rest of their high school life. The freshman class this year instituted a series of weekly meetings designed for the purpose of explaining to these new comers some of the things which would be expected of them while at Washington High School. The first three meetings were devoted to discussing classroom, auditorium, hallway and cafeteria conduct. The remainder of the meetings were given over to other faculty members and members of the administration who spoke on extra-cur¬ ricular activities, school curriculum, art, drama and other appropriate subjects.

Oirls ' Lesiyiic The Girls League is an organization which aims to promote friendliness among the girls and to carry on many important activities during the year. The first of these activities this year was the Freshman Reception, which was given at the beginning of the school term. This party helped to acquaint big sister with ‘dittle sister,” for each freshman girl was under the charge of an upper class girl who acted as her “big sister” for the day. Entertainment for the afternoon consisted of a program arranged by severa l of the girls, after which ice cream and cake were served, and the rest of the afternoon was spent in dancing. At Christmas time the Girls League was responsible for an entertaining assembly program which was directed by Miss Sandholdt. The League also sponsored the annual dinner in honor of the championship football team, a party for the senior girls, and the senior farewell assembly. The Girls’ League is a member of the Federation of Girls’ Leagues of the Bay Counties. This year Katherine Rathbone and Irma Leal were sent as delegates to the annual convention of this federation, held in Santa Rosa. Afterwards at a meeting of the Girls’ League they reported on the round table discussions which took place at the convention. Much of the success of this year s activities is due to the girls’ cooperation under the direction of their adviser and friend. Miss Sandholdt, and the follow¬ ing officers: President_ Vice-President_ Secretary_ Treasurer_ Ways and Means Chairman Hospitality Chairman_ Program Chairman_ Yell Leader_ -Irma Leal Bernice Bernardo ..Eleanor Roderick ..Yoshimi Kawaguchi ..June Furtado .Margaret Wells -Mabel Lewis -Mary Souza I 25 ] Tlic WiisliiiiytMiiinii Soon after the Senior Class elected Paul Power as editor and Anna Shinn as Business Manager of the “Washingtonian”, they met to select the staff. In this they were assisted by Yoshimi Kawaguchi, assistant editor, and Miss Van Winkle, faculty adviser. The editors decided to have a small staff this year so that all members might take an active part in all of the planning of the book. This year the staff decided to choose no special theme but to bring unity to the book through modernistic page layouts and drawings. They have also tried to make the book colorful through the use of colored division pages instead of colored borders. The success of financing the book may be attributed largely to the combined efforts of Anna Shinn, Robert Salz, and Donald Lamons. The financial aid given by the old and new advertisers was indispensable and appreciated. This year the staff was fortunate in having two amateur photographers, Robert Salz, and Donald Lamons, who, assisted by Anthony Monte, took the pictures that appear on our snapshot pages as well as those on the diagonal strip in the front of the book. They also took the dramatics pictures and the dedica¬ tion picture. On days when important events were to take place these boys brought their cameras, and many fine pictures of Initiation Day, Moving Day, and May Day are the result of their work. A number of the senior girls aided in putting out the annual by their assist¬ ance in pasting the drawings on the division pages. This was very tedious work, and it would have been impossible for the staff to do it alone. Mrs. Hawley’s help in reading proof is also greatly appreciated. The art work under the direction of Miss Botelho and Helen Amaral has reached a new peak this year. Many and varied were the drawings offered for the section pages, and it was with difficulty that the staff selected the ones used from those submitted. The staff also expresses its appreciation to Mr. Kibby and the printing classes for making the covers. “The Washingtonian” sent three representatives to the Press Convention held in Berkeley on March 26, 27, 28. Those who attended were Paul Power, Anna Shinn, and Peggy Munger, who returned to school with many new ideas for the annual. This year’s staff has worked hard to try to give the school an annual that would be different from those published recently, always keeping in mind its chief purpose—to prepare an attractive and interesting record of the extra-cur¬ ricular achievements of the members of the Student Body during the year 1935-1936.

Hfltcliet Twice each month the Student Body publishes its well liked paper, ' ' The Hatchet,’ ' which has been acclaimed as one of the best papers published by a school the size of ours. “The Hatchet” is widely read, not only by the students of the school, but also by the alumni and others in the township. The paper is made up of four, five-column pages. The front page contains the most timely and important news. On page two appear book reviews, bits of school gossip, and news of former students. The second page also contains the editorials and the “Princi¬ pal’s Corner,” the only article in the paper not written by students. Older news items, poetry, and jokes are placed on page three, while page four is reserved for the reporting of athletic events. During the year the sophomore, jufnor and senior English classes each put out one edition of the “Hatchet.” The senior edition is the last to be published in the second semester and contains pictures of the seniors and the class will and prophecy in addition to the regtilar news. On May first a special eight-page edition was issued in honor of Education Week, which the school was observing at that time. The “Hatchet” representatives to the annual Press Convention held at the University of California March 26, 27, and 28 were Bette Robinson, Katherine Rathbone, Katherine West, Claire Musick, Himeo Hayashi, Marian Ziegler, Tsuyako Kataoka, James Silva, and George Mathiesen. Most of the work of planning the “Hatchet” fell to Bette Robinson, the editor, with the associate editors, Paul Power and Robert Kibby, doing their share. The financial affairs of the paper were handled by George West, the business manager.

Tlie Ncliolarslii|� SiociefY In 1925 THE Scholarship Society of Washington Union High School was organized as Chapter 111 of the California Scholarship Federation. The purpose of this organization is to give recognition to those students who achieve a high standard in their subjects. A point system is used to determine eligibility. A grade of “A” in a full academic subject is worth three points. A grade of “B ' ' is worth one point. To be admitted to membership the student must have marks from the past semester that equal ten points. This semester the membership reached a high peak with thirty-five members. A student who remains in the society for six semesters is entitled to a gold seal on his diploma, life membership in the C. S. F., and a beautiful gold scholarship pin. Yoshimi Kawaguchi and Fumiko Tomimatsu have both fulfilled the re¬ quirements and will receive those honors. Other students who may achieve life membership by the close of this semester are Betty Roraback, Anna Shinn, and Bette Robinson. Each year delegates are sent to the district convention of the C. S. F. A deputations committee is also sent to the elementary schools of Washington Township. The aim of this committee is to encourage all grammar school eighth graders to come to high school. The advisers for the past year were Miss Knoles and Miss Fisher, who is a Phi Betta Kappa. Officers for the year were: President_ Vice-President_ Secretary and Treasurer Program Chairmen_ Paul Power Katherine West Marian Ziegler Margaret Wells Robert Kibby [ 29 ] r irls’ Cliili The Girls ' “W” Club was organized in 1927 for the purpose of promoting finer sportsmanship and a more friendly spirit among the girls. This year Miss Botelho was elected an honorary member, since she was one of the group of girls which first organized the Girls’ “W ’ Club. All girls who receive block ‘’W”s are eligible for membership. A block W is given to a girl when she has earned 750 points. An additional 250 points entitles her to a star. These blocks and stars may be earned by being on the second as well as the first teams. This gives the girl who is merely eager to par¬ ticipate in sports a chance as well as the girls who have attained skill in sports. This year the girls earned their points in basketball, speedball, baseball, volley¬ ball, and tennis. In December the new members were initiated into the club. The initiation was carried out at a party, held in the evening, after a school day in which all the new members were compelled to wear short dresses and large bows as part of their initiation. The activities this year were under the direction of the new physical education teacher. Miss Ducoty, who has won the hearts of all the girls. Miss Ducoty replaced Mrs. Burtleson, who resigned at the beginning of the term. The Girls “W” Club, realizing what a fine friend they were losing, honored Mrs. Burtleson with a dance at which they presented her with a farewell gift.

Itoys ' Cliili The “W ' ' Club is an athletic organization of Washington Union High School which consists of boys who have taken an active part in sports. Earning a block ‘ W in some one of the major sports carried on by the school entitles Its holder to a membership in this club. In football the boys must play in a certain percentage of the games before they are entitled to a block. The close of the football season found many boys eligible for membership; the track and baseball season also contributed their quota of new members, thus bringing the total number of boys in the “W Club up to 55 members. Before becoming full-fledged members, the new ones are forced to undergo the task of being initiated by their superiors. The W’ Club initiations have always furnished fun and laughter for the onlookers, but to the unfortunate neophytes, they are only unpleasant reminders of splashing around in very muddy mud puddles or strutting about the campus displaying Dame Fashion ' s newest spring knee-highs. The annual custom, which had been omitted in last year ' s schedule, of enter¬ taining the grammar schools at a field day was again restored this year. It was held on May 1, 1936, and the boys ' W Club together with the girls ' “W Club took full charge of the day ' s affairs. On May 9th the Club went on an over-night trip to Carmel Valley, leaving the High School at 7:30 A. M. on the bus. Swimming, golf, horseback riding, hiking, and other outdoor pastimes were enjoyed by all those who were lucky enough to make the trip. A huge barbecue, a dance, and the pleasure of sleeping in the open completed a wholly successful outing.

The chapter is working principally with corn, peas, cauliflower, potatoes, early market vegetables, and calves. The pea project, located at Andrade Brothers ranch at Decoto, includes ten different varities of peas and eleven hybrids. New varieties of corn were tried out commercially this year by the club whose members planted over ten acres of seed in the township. The varieties planted were Honey June, a new sweet corn. Golden Cross, a short yellow sweet corn, and several other new cross bred varie¬ ties. The chapter has also carried on some successful experiments with fertiliz¬ ing cauliflower. Calves have furnished projects for twenty members, and, in addition, there are a number of other projects in the community under the super¬ vision of the Future Farmers. This chapter has also taken part in statewide activities sponsored by the Future Farmers. In the fall several members went to Los Angeles, where our repre¬ sentative, Anthony Silva, placed third in the Public Speaking contest, and where they visited the Great W estern Livestock Show, the Universal Studios, and other places of interest. Several members also attended the State Fair at Sacramento, and the annual meet at Bolada Park, where the boys took first places in swim¬ ming, community projects, and individual projects. Three boys also spoke over the radio station KPO on a Future Farmer broadcast.

It opens with a choir of worshippers in long black robes, who are kneeling before a pulpit in which a priest stands. He tells them of the Christ, and they reply in song. In the second act the birth of Christ and saving of John the Baptist are beautifully told in dialogue with Christmas music by a choir of angels, who sing many well-known carols, closing with Silent Night sung by the entire cast, which was composed of about seventy pupils. Marylyn Maciel and Emanuel Maciel headed the main cast as Mary and Joseph respectively. Others were Virginia Rego as Mary Magdalen; John Cattaneo, Harry Cesari, and Lawrence Gonsalves as the three wise men; and Robert Zwissig as the priest. Miss Botelho, the director, was aided by Mr. Thornburg of the music department. The cast, capably directed by Miss Fisher, was headed by Beatrice Matzke, the heroine, and Clifford Rogers, the rich uncle, with an excellent supporting cast which included George Mathiesen as the butler, Katherine Rathbone as the comic maid, Marylyn Maciel and Charles Myrick as the negro mammy and her son, Donald Ahrens and James Silva as the two young men in the case, Claire Musick as the mother, and Margaret Wells, the eccentric old aunt. THE STUDENT BODY PLAY On Friday evening, November fifteenth, the students and guests witnessed The Scarecrow Creeps, the most thrill¬ ing mystery play ever produced by Wash¬ ington Union High School. True to form, the play takes place in a haunted mansion during the midst of a ter¬ rific storm. A group of relatives meet at the home of their rich uncle, who is to give a costly diamond to one of them. After the arrival of the guests a man is murdered, the diamond stolen, a scarecrow comes to life, and many other exciting in¬ cidents take place. During this time two young men try to win the hand of the lovely heroine. As the curtain closes, the romance ends in the approved fashion, and the mystery is very cleverly solved. The Scarecrow Creeps Voilvil The Vodvil is a collection of stunts by students and the faculty members, New dance steps created, old jokes revived, and popular songs dressed up in lovely and unique interpretations constitute the material of the production which has been given annually since 1932. This year there were twenty different short acts with the general theme “There’s Music in the Air.” The two acts which seemed to be most enjoyed were wholly different in atmosphere. One was a musical presentation and the other a very hilarious comedy depicting a “quiet” family scene in the Dionne family. The musical number, “The Beautiful Lady in Blue” was very beautiful from the artistic standpoint. The songs were slow and dreamy, and the chorus composed of Eleanor Silva, Bernice Bernardo, Helen Barton, Helen Witherly, and Joan Boyd made a most appropriate background for the “Beautiful Lady,” Bernice Weber, whose entrance caught the audience with its sheer loveliness. Emmanuel Maciel, her escort, receivd much praise for his song “Flowers for Madame,” and petite Josephine Foehr practically “stole” the act with her clever acrobatic dance. Squints at the Quints” had the whole audience laughing. The little Dionne girls were very well represented by none other than our own Bill Sinclair, Mor¬ gan Cesari, Louis Silva, Albert Pine, and George Mathiesen. Lloyd Amaral was the nurse, Melvin Callahan the doctor, and Jack Parry the father. The other stunts upheld the success of the whole Vodvil and were well re¬ ceived by an appreciative audience. “The Black and White Fantasy” was a dance number featuring Lillian Hoffman and a chorus of girls dressed in black and white and using a black and white background for their tapping. “The Rhythm in My Nursery Rhymes” was a stunt originated from the popular song of that title. “The Merry-Go-Round” and “Red Sails in the Sunset” were also dance numbers, which, with the aid of the colored lights, added much to the effectiveness of the production. The “Lucky Star” featured the ballet dancing of June Stannard, who was assisted by a chorus of five boys. Solos by Marylyn Maciel and Harriet De Leon and a tap dance by Abbie Harlan and Melva Scammon, some group singing, and even “Ted Lewis” himself in the form of Milton Durham in the “College Night” act added a pleasing variety to the Vodvil. A Spanish solo dance by Antoinette Holeman, a monologue by £llen Power, comic skits by Harry Cesari and Fred Andrade, the accordion trio composed of John Accinelli, Evelyn Brown, and John Cattaneo, all contributed greatly to making the 1936 Vodvil one of the best of our successful student productions.

The play is made both interesting and humorous by the way each character works out his own destiny. There is also pathos in the lives of the principal characters, but in the end all difficulties are settled and a number of romances blossom. The first and third acts take place at the hotel on the California-Nevada bor¬ der. The second act takes place in the Superior Court in Reno, but the whole of the play is built around the varied characters who are guests at the hotel. Miss Fisher directed the play and the seniors who were chosen for parts worked hard to make the play a success.

Our Ha lEsiiiil During football season the band was very active. It played lively marches to help the rooters cheer the varsity on to victory, and at several of the games the band members in white uniforms exhibited their splendid marching and letter forming drills, led by the drum major, Ramona Mellow. The band gained further recognition by providing musical selections for numerous assem¬ blies and by playing for graduation. Orclivsfni The Orchestra supplied the musical part of the evenings’ programs between the acts of the Student Body Play and the Senior Play. It also joined with the band to play for graduation. A beginners’ orchestra was organized, and although it was not featured on any programs, it gave many students good starts on their instruments, so that they will be able to play in the band or orchestra next year. The principles of music theory were also taught in the beginners’ orchestra. ClMiriisvs At Christmas time a large chorus was sent to Livermore High School as part of the exchange program Another chorus, organized in the spring, per¬ formed the Easter Cantata, “Calvary,” in an assembly program. The Cantata was an elaborate vocal composition with a religious theme. The music, which was arranged in a dramatic manner, was interpreted very effectively by the chorus. The music sung was in four part harmony for mixed voices and also in two and three part harmony for girls’ voices. Marylyn and Emmanuel Maciel sang the solo parts. The Cantata was accompanied by a small orchestra of members selec¬ ted from the band and orchestra. The practices for the Cantata were held after school, two afternoons a week, and special buses were run to take the choristers home after practices. There were several smaller groups that furnished music on various occasions. One of these groups was made up of girls who sang three part harmony. They practiced during their lunch periods on three days of every week. Another group was the woodwind quartet composed of: bassoon, Mr. Thorn¬ burg; flute, Richard Texera; first clarinet, Peggy Munger; second clarinet, Ra¬ mona Mellow. Donald Ahrens, first violinist in the orchestra, and his accompanist, Marian Ziegler, were also featured in this incidental music. [ 38 ] SPORTS Standing—L. Fisher, S. Mune, A. Muniz, B. McKernan. Kneeling—D. Juarez, M. Durham, W. Sinclair, G. Hikido, G. Jorgensen, H. Cesari, L. Silva. The past year has been a banner year for Washington ' s football team. Not only did the team win every league game but it captured the S. A. C. A. L. trophy as well. This trophy, by the way, has been held by Washington Union High School for three consecutive years and now becomes ours permanently. Surely the team could have no more fitting reward for their excellent playing than this cup. Several members of the Squad deserve much credit for their outstanding play¬ ing during the past football season. Alvin Muniz made a total of ten touch¬ downs in different games, while Frank Maderios made eight. Sam Mune made three touchdowns and carried the ball on an average of seven and a half yards each game. Other players who deserve high praise from the Student Body are Lyle Fisher, Bill Sinclair, Louis Silva, Dan Juarez, Stephen Straub, Milton Durham, George Jorgensen, Harry Cesari, Lawrence Houck, George Hikido, Bert McKernan, Julius Pine, and Melvin Luna. Their playing was very fine, and the way they cooperated with each other was a wonderful example of team work. These players were the backbone of the squad, and Washington ' s victory is due largely to their excellent playing. Alvin Muniz, Lyle Fisher, Frank Maderios, Bill Sinclair, Sam Mune, Louis Silva, Milton Durham, George Jorgensen and Harry Cesari have played football for the last time at Washington High, and it was with deep regret that they turned in their suits. Many of them have gone out for football every year, and they will be missed by those who played with them. There are several juniors, however, who will take the places vacated by the outgoing seniors. It is they who will carry on the traditions of the team, and with the help of new players who come out next year, they will again and again bring victories to the school.

Evidently the ‘‘C’ ' team has taken a page out of the first string’s notebook. This year the ‘‘C” team won four out of their five games with only two of them played on the home field. They also won both of their league games in spite of the fact that neither was played on the home field. The ' U” team has for its object the training of the boys who will later play on the first team. It also offers an opportunity for football to those boys who are not big enough or strong enough to play with the Huskers. Many of the boys who enter as freshmen wish to go out for football, but their height or strength is sometimes against them. If it were not for the ‘‘C” team these boys could not play football until their junior or senior year. Under the present system they make the “C” team when freshmen or sophmores and later, when they have grown, they are able to make the first team because of the training and experience they have received on the ‘U” team. Coach Morse, who taught the boys the principle of the game and who in¬ stalled in them the idea of fair play at all times, deserves much of the credit for the team’s championship.

Itaseltsill Again our Baseball team has shown its true metal by winning a high place in the Southern Alameda County Athletic League. At the beginning of the spring season a large number of boys turned out for baseball. Of this number twelve of the best players were chosen. These twelve boys all worked hard. They stayed and practiced every night after school, after everyone else had gone home. Their perservance and hard work had its reward, however, for the team won most of the games they played, and most of the players won their block “W. ' ' Although all of the boys played excellent baseball, there are several players that deserve special mention. Louis Silva is one of these. His pitching made possible many of Washington ' s victories. He also made more home runs than any other player on the team. Sam Mune comes next with his splendid record as a hitter and catcher. Both of these boys are seniors, and their playing will be missed by the other players. The team is fortunate, though, in having most of its members, lower class- men. There are four freshmen that show promise of becoming fine players. These boys, Leonard Bettencourt, Warren Silva, Paul Rivers, and Julius Pine all played a fine game of ball. Leonard Bettencourt ' s batting was remarkable, and Warren Silva made a fine first baseman. Paul Rivers and Julius Pine are both good all-around players. Other players who deserve credit are: George Hikido, Yoshio Kakimoto who played center field, and Lawrence Thompson, pitcher. Other positions were held by: Daniel Juarez, catcher, and Seraphine Daviner, second baseman. But the team alone is not responsible for the victories, for without Coach Regli ' s training they would have lacked something very vital. Like a captain of a ship the coach supplied the leadership and spirit that is essential to the suc¬ cess of any undertaking. [45 ] SeciHiil Tcsiiii Ikiselisill Another year and another championship! TThis year was indeed a record year, for our second team defeated every team that it played except Decoto. Much credit for this fine record is due Frank Maderios, who served as student Coach. T he boys on the second team were: Leroy Naia, Lawrence Waldt, Billy Fos¬ ter, Wesley Nunes, Clifford Dinsmore, Eugene Luna, Clyde Anderson, Wilbur Williams, Tom Ikeda, Lester Maderios, Bob Steinhauser, Sidney Gaunt, Doug¬ las Nunes, and Bud Mellow. Tmcl: This year training for track at Washington High started early. Much in¬ terest was taken in this sport, and the track team had many supporters. The hard work and effort spent in training showed in the records the boys made in all of their track meets. In the S. A. C. A. L. meet held on May 2, Washington’s “A” Track Team took second place with a score of 34 1-5. The “B ” Track Team took fourth place with a score of 13 1-2. The following boys were the runners: L. Fisher, H. Cesari, P. Bunting, S. Mune, D. Dias, J. Machida, S. Uchiyama, B. McKernan, J. Andrade, M. Ala¬ meda, K. Inouye, A. Pine, J. Accinelli, L. George, 1. Tsuno, R. Inouye, M. Arias, D. Souza, P. Manley, G. Fields, M. Duarte, L. Silva, E. Kitade M. Allegre, and W. Rose. Pole vaulting was done by G. Ushijima, H. Egashira, L. Silva, D. Juarez, and S. Mune. Broad jumping was done by C. Myrick, P. Manley, H. Cesari, D. Souza, G. Silva, and R. Steinhauer. High jumping was done by Myrick, Rose, Rogers, Rocha, and Rivers. The 12 pound shot was thrown by Sin¬ clair, Cattaneo, Juarez, Salz, and Fields. The 8 pound shot was thrown by T. Hirabayashi, G. Hikido, and J, Bimemiller. Bill Sinclair and John Cat¬ taneo threw the discus.

During this part of the year, when the weather was too cold or rainy to play out-of- doors, the girls in the physical education classes spent their time in indoor activities such as jump rope, badminton, indoor horseshoes, and jacks. How¬ ever there were many sports which had a normal season with the usual excite¬ ment in “play offs ' ' deciding the championship teams. Speedball was the first sport of the year. After w eeks of hard practice, teams were organized in the different periods. There was friendly rivalry between the teams, and when many hard-fought games had been played, the second period team emerged victorious. The members of the team were: Captain Irma Leal, Manager Adeline Amaral, Isola Moise, Irene Williams, Mary Souza, Pearl Silva, Edna King, Peggy Munger, Hisae Nogami, Dorothy Will¬ iams, Rose Cattaneo, Fumiko Tomimatsu, Kazu Yamamoto, Shizuko Sakaki, and Melva Scammon. During basketball season the girls who participate in this sport find it necessary to keep in the “pink , as basketball is one of the most strenuous of the girls ' sports. The second period team, who called themselves “The Clippers, seemed to be in the “pinkest of condition and showed their superiority by win¬ ning the championship, although there was much competition. Members of the team were: Centers, Irene Williams and Isola Moise; Guards, Captain Adeline Amaral, and Pearl Silva; Forwards, Manager Mary Souza, Irma Leal, and Yoneko Baba; Substitutes, Rose Cttaneo and Shizuko Sakaki. The sixth period volleyball team was proclaimed victorious after a series of interesting games. The members of the team were: Captain Elizabeth Franco, Manager Georgina Rodrigues, June Stannard, Bernice Borba, Eleanor Vierra, Yaeko Ichisaka, Carmen Romero, and Florence Freitas. As this volume goes to press the girls are enjoying baseball and tennis. Those girls who have made the baseball teams will receive points toward their block “W ' s , although the bus schedule does not permit interclass competition in this sport this spring. Rosalie Harrold is the tennis manager, and under her direc¬ tion a tennis tournament will be played during the remaining weeks of school. [48 1 Csileiiilnr September 10 SCRUB INITIATION OH!
