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 ]

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.
