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 ]

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. [ 10 ]
