ASSOCIATED STUDENTS The Associated Students can look back with pleasure and pride on the past year which has been conducted successfully by our efficient group of officers. One hundred per cent student body membership was again the goal of the students in their drive, but this year the competition was between the boys and the girls. The race was very close, and even at the end the results were difficult to determine. The boys won by a tiny margin. Many fine assemblies were presented this year, the Associated Students having worked as a whole to plan them. Among the best of these were a lecture on the Oregon Trail by Dr. William Paden, Superintendent of Schools of Ala¬ meda; a play, Abraham Lincoln, presented by the Lincoln Players; a Marion¬ ette Show given by W. P. A. workers; a demonstration of liquid air; an exchange program from Hayward High; an entertainment by Howard Millholland and Eva Garcia, and a play in which Mr. Jack Rank took all the parts. There were also several home grown programs, such as the Senior English class ploy, the Girls ' League Christmas program, and the class assemblies. Altogether it was a very successful year for the Associated Students of Wash¬ ington Union High School. I2« Back Row: G. Bonde. J. Dusterberry, Mr. Rathbone, C. West, J. Sinclair. Middle Row: M.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is composed of all elected officers of the Student Body and a representative from each of the four classes. A meeting is held each Mon¬ day to transact any business which concerns the Student Body of this school. At the beginning of each school year the Council adopts a budget and allocates sums for the different departments and organizations. Outstanding in the achievements of the Student Council this year was the assistance in the purchase of a complete projection outfit and a loudspeaker sysem, as well as other equipment for the benefit of students. As a regular duty, the Council takes charge of purchasing Block W ' s for those earning them in various sports. The sweaters presented to senior boys outstanding in four sports were also purchased by the Council. Two parties are held each year for the Council members and their friends. This year, the first one was held on April fifteenth. The last, on May thirteenth, was a surprise party celebrating President Robert Solon ' s birthday and wel¬ coming next year ' s newly elected officers. This is the sixth year in which the Council has guided the affairs of the Student Body. � 13 « M. WELLS President T. .Hirabayashi Treasurer J.ACCINELLI I. MOISE Vice-President Secretary E. SOARES M. DUARTE Student Council Rep. Yell Leader THE SENIOR CLASS Finishing its last and most successful year at W. U. H. S., the class of ' 37 held its Commencement on June 3, preceded by the usual Senior Week activities; the Breakfast, the Assembly, and the Senior play, Paddy. At the beginning of the year the Senior Council, composed of all the elected officers, was formed to assist in determining class activities. There were three Senior Nights during the year. As is customary the date and whereabouts of Sneak Day were shrouded in secrecy. In extra-curricular activities the class was well represented, the members taking on active part in sports and dramatics, and frequently acting as officers of the various organizations. One of the most important activities of the graduating class was the spon¬ soring of the annual elementary school May Day program which is held for the purpose of acquainting the eighth grade pupils with the school that they will enter in the fall. One of the first girls in many years to hold the office of senior president was Margaret Wells, who successfully guided this large class through its final year which was terminated with the Senior Ball held June 5. The advisers were Mr. Kibby, Miss DuCoty, Miss Wilson, and Mr. Mette. � I 5 « JOHN ACCINELLI DONALD AHRENS ERNESTINE ALVEREZ ELEANOR ALVERNAZ LLOYD AMARAL RALPH BARRY JACK BIMEMILLER BERNICE BORBA HELEN CALDEIRA LESLIE CALLAHAN ROBERT COIT EVELYN CORREA SHIRLEY CRITCHFIELD MARTIN DUARTE HIROJI EGASHIRA KENNETH FARIA ADA BELLE FONG ERNEST FOSTER ELIZABETH FRANCO FLORENCE FREITAS NORBERT FURTADO ROSALIE HARROLD ALTA.HENDRICKS GEORGE HIKIDO NEDRA HILLER TAKEO HIRABAYASHI ROBERT .HODGES LILLIAN HOFFMAN LAWRENCE HOUCK YAEKO ICHISAKA TOSHIKO KATO MARJORIE KEENAN ROBERT KIBBY ELI KITADE SUM 10 KOGA VERNON LEAL MELVYN LUNA NOBUO MACHIDA MARYLYN MACIEL VICTORIA MACIEL ROBERT MAGGIORA CLARENCE MARTIN FLORENCE MARTINELLI LAWRENCE MARTINELLI TSUTOMU MATSUMOTO ROBERT MATTOS BEATRICE MATZKE MALCOLM McCONN BERT McKERNAN INEZ McNALLY WILLIAM McTEAR MARIE MESQUITE TOM MITSUYOSHI ISOLA MOISE MARGARET MORSE CLAIRE MUSICK ELIZABETH NEMOTO HISAYE NOGAMI MELVIN NUNES DONALD OLIVER WILBERT PINE GENO QUARTAROLI KATHERINE RATHBONE LEROY RAYMOND BERTHA ROCHE GEORGINA RODRIGUEZ CLIFFORD ROGERS STANLEY ROGERS CARMEN ROMERO MYRTLE ROSE WALTER RUPP SHIZUKO SAKAKI GEORGE SAKAUYE MELVA SCAMMAN HELENE SEIDLER TOMEI SHIKANO MARGARET SHIMIZU KAZUKO SHIOZAKI ZELMA SHULSEN GEORGE SILVA LEONARD SILVA LLOYD SILVA LOUIS M.

Juniors hove held their own in dramatics, journalism, sports, and scholastic affairs. Last fall the class members ' dramatic ability was shown in the Student Body play, Babs, many members of the cast being of the third year rank. In the Vodvil also a number of skits were either presented or participated in by Juniors. For their Assembly Program the Juniors chose a play, The Trysting Place, which was presented by members of the Junior English Class. The staff of the Hatchet, school bi-weekly news publication, included a large number of Juniors, one of whom held the position of associate editor and one of business manager. The class was well represented in scholarship as well as in extra-curricular activities, with a number of members in the C. S. F. They also took part successfully in athletics, the class being well represented in all sports, particularly in tennis and basketball. One of the high spots of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom given by the � 22 « L S S Juniors for the Seniors on May 7. The theme of the dance was an old fashioned garden and it was beautifully carried out. Class rings were selected by a committee appointed for that purpose, and proved to be the envy of the lower classmen. The Junior candy and hot-dog sales at games and dramatic productions were successful and unique because of the students ' enthusiastic participation. These sales kept the class coffers full and its financial status high. The Junior Class officers were: PRESIDENT..JACK PARRY VICE-PRESIDENT.DOUGLAS RORABACK SECRETARY.ESTHER JASON TREASURER.EMI KAWAGUCHI YELL LEADER.GEORGE USHIJIMA GIRLS ' LEAGUE REPRESENTATIVE.THELMA FREITAS AND GERTRUDE COLEY STUDENT COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE.JOHN BERCHEM ADVISERS.MISS VAN WINKLE, MR.

JACKSON ADVISERS. The second year of their membership in the Student Body of Washington Union High was started off with a bang by the Sophomores. On the class calendar for the .year, the first event of importance was the Soph. Hop. The first dance of the year, it was entirely successful. The gymnasium, the scene of the dance, was transformed into a huge veranda with trailing vines and greenery growing over the railings. An attractive arrangement of harvest fruits on a raised dais was placed against one wall, and the band was seated opposite. Card tables and several lounge pieces in one corner completed the scene. A task which is customarily delegated to the Sophomores, the custodianship of the school museum, was carried out in a highly satisfactory way. Art exhibits, as well as the usual scientific exhibits were included, and the neat and interesting arrangements added to the atmosphere of the school. The dramatic talents possessed by a number of Sophomores were displayed in an assembly program on April 23, in the Student Body play, and in the Christmas Pageant. The second year students were also well represented in the Scholarship Society, with one of their members as president, and in all types of athletics. The successful carrying out of all of these activities leads the rest of the school to expect much of this class next year. 25 « A N CLASS YELL LEADER.WELDON PINE STUDENT COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVE.GEORGE BONDE GIRLS ' LEAGUE REPRESENTATIVE.GLORIA DYCUS, GERTRUDE MOZZETTI ADVISERS..MISS PETERSON, MRS. MORRIS, MRS. WRIGHT, MISS McWILLIAMS, MR. REES A new and larger class of girls and boys enters this high school each August to begin a four-year period of acquiring knowledge. The members of this year s Freshman Class soon became acquainted with each other and with the school, elected their officers, and were ready for a year of work. One of their first activities was the dance in honor of Miss Fisher, who left for South America to accept a fellowship in the University of Chile. Suiting the occasion, the decoration committee used a steamer theme. At 11 o clock ser¬ pentine was distributed to the dancers, and then came a shower of bright cob rs such as is seen when real steamers leave port. Members of the Freshman Class were active in dramatics. Many of them participated in the Vodvil, while others took part in a play presented to the students on March 12, at an assembly. Freshmen were prominent in athletics, scholarship, and journalism as well as in dramatics. The Hatchet Staff and the Writers ' Club had freshman members. A great deal of credit must be given to the advisers and officers, who led the group through a successful year and started it on the road to becoming a fine class. � 27 « Top Row; M. Souza, L.

GIRLS’ LEAGUE The Ideal Young Woman is the goal toward which the Girls ' League Organi¬ zation is working, through the activities carried on among the girls of Washington. At the beginning of each school term there is a Freshman Reception at which each new girl is given a big sister, under whose charge she gets acquainted with the school. A program is held in the afternoon, refreshments are served, and the remaining time is spent in dancing. This year a surprise birthday tea was given for Miss Sandholdt, their adviser, at which the girls presented her with a set of book ends to show their appreciation of her advice and guidance. Other activities of the league were the football banquet at which the varsity and C teams were feted, and the annual Christmas Assembly, admission to which was a toy to be given to the Boy Scouts for distribution to children in the community. Katherine Rathbone and Marian Zeigler were sent as delegates to the annual Girls ' League Federation Convention held in Hayward. The League officers are Katherine Rathbone, President; Isola Moise, Vice- President; Inez McNally, Secretary; Myrtle Rose, Treasurer; Narnia Tajima, Yell Leader; Esther Jason, Program Chairman; Irene Williams, Ways and Means; and Margaret Morse, Hospitality. 29 Standing: Clifford Rogers, Tom Mitsuyoshi, John Accinelli, George West, Robert Coit, Takeo Hirabayashi, Yoshio Tomimatsu. Seated: Margaret Wells, Isola Moise, Grayce Ura, Katherine West, Rosalie Harrold, Katherine Rathbone. E S Not to be prosaic, but to be different and ingenious is a well-known phrase used throughout our four years in this school. The class of ' 37 has tried to carry out their self-made motto whenever possible. The annual staff was no exception to the rule, when this book was being published. After careful deliberation, the staff was chosen from a large list of promising writers with experience in other publications of the school. The editors, Katherine West and Grayce Ura, have had no little experience in the management of school publications. Robert Coit and Clifford Rogers were just as zealous in serving as business managers. Others chosen for their knowledge in their particular fields were Yoshio Tomimatsu and Takeo Hirabayashi as sports editors; Isola Moise, girls ' sports; administration, Katherine Rathbone; activities, Tom Mitsuyoshi and John Accinelli; drama, Margaret Wells; photographs, Rosalie Harrold; jokes, George West; typist, Beatrice Brown. � 30 « Eva Soares, Hirozi Egashira, and Victoria Maciel are to be commended for their invaluable assistance with drawings, lettering, and picture layouts. The staff feels indebted to Robert Kibby, Grayce Ura, and Tom Mitsuyoshi for their numerous candid camera shots which were used throughout the book, and to Seraphine Lemos, a sophomore, for his kindness in developing and printing films. The assistance of the business men of the township in advertising in our annual was indispensable and greatly appreciated. The technical advice, which was essential for the completion of this volume, came from Miss Von Winkle, Miss McWilliams, and Mr. Kibby. The members of the printing classes made the covers. The theme of our book is our school and its environs around which the thoughts and activities of our high school life are centered. It has been our aim to moke our book as interesting as possible through the arrangements of the pages and through the use of as many pictures of the social and academic life as possible. The staff has enjoyed working as a unit to produce a chronicle in lasting form of the aims, the ideals, and the traditions of one of the never-to-be-forgotten years of our high school life. � 3 I « Standing: T. .Hirabayashi, Y.

Active in the leadership of the bi-weekly paper were its editor, Robert Kibby, and its advisers, Miss Knoles and Mr. Kibby. Congratulations are due the staff, also, on its fine work, and especially does Donald Oliver deserve credit. Donald is the key man on the printing end of the Hatchet publication and he has given much of his time in order that the school paper be printed on its scheduled date. Attendants at the annual Press Convention held April first, second, and third, were Miss Knoles, adviser, and Robert Kibby, George Mathiesen, John Duster- berry, and Donald Oliver. The delegates came back with many new ideas and ready to go to work even harder to make the Hatchet one of the finest student publications anywhere. Credit also goes to the Business Manager, Charles West, who solicited the advertisements and to the commercial department for its assistance with the typing. SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY Its unusually active season was opened when the Scholarship Society held the first of the twice yearly initiations. One of the activities of the society was the sending of four of the members to the Regional Convention of C. S. F. which was held at Oakland Technical High School, on March 13. Linda Jane Hellwig, John Dusterberry, Marian Zeigler, and George Mathiesen, were the delegates from Washington, and George Mathiesen won second prize in an oratorical contest. The subject of George ' s oratory was Scholarship for Service. At the convention, besides entertainment at the school, the delegates were taken on a trip of inspection of the Oakland Airport. At the end of a wholly successful year the Scholarship Society wishes to extend thanks to its advisers. Miss Peterson, and Miss Knoles. First Row: M, Shimizu, I. Valles, Miss DuCoty, E. Franco, M.

GIRLS ' “W” CLUB The Girls ' W Club, membership in which is gained by the possession of a block W, carried on a very busy season. Its principal purpose, determining the athletic policies for the girls, was accomplished successfully, as was the holding of the inter-school play day, which was attended by girls from Amador, Hayward, and Livermore high schools. Several girls from the club attended play days at two colleges, San Francisco State College and the University of California. At the former the girls took port in the games, while at the latter they witnessed exhibitions of fencing, riflery, basketball, tennis, canoeing, and archery. An entirely successful season was finished, and credit must be given to Miss DuCoty, Adviser; Margaret Morse, President; Melva Scammon, Vice-President; Florence Freitas, Girls ' Athletic Manager; Irene Williams, Secretary; Bernice Borba, Treasurer. W CLUB The block W Club of Washington High School is an athletic organization with membership privileges for any boy who has earned a block in football, basketball, baseball, or track, regardless of classification. At present there are fifty members in this organization. Prior to graduation each senior member is presented with a card which admits him to all athletic contests held on the school grounds. This year shining satin outfits were provided for its basketball members through a benefit show held in December. Also successfully staged was the W Club dance which took place in November. This year intra-mural basketball was instituted in all the physical education classes which gave those who were unable to qualify for the regular teams a chance at inter-class competition. The officers for the year were Steven Straub, President; Robert Kibby, Secretary- Treasurer; and Mr. Taylor and Mr. Morse, Advisers. � 35 « FUTURE FARMERS The Washington chapter of the Future Farmers, with a membership of 86, has made an impressive record following a program of activities and projects which was planned by the members with the help of their advisers. In addition to their study, the group enjoyed field trips to different farms and agricultural industries of the Township. Educational speeches and movies were presented often to the members on agricultural topics. Night meetings were held monthly to carry forward the business of the chapter, with programs of boxing, wrestling, singing, dancing, and basketball games as sources of entertainment. During the year the chapters of Morgan Hill, Pleasan¬ ton, and Hayward were guests. The Future Farmers sent five representatives to the Great Western Live Stock Show and Convention held at Los Angeles in November. This chapter was also represented at the State Fair in Sacramento and at the Future Farmer Meeting at San Luis Obispo. When the Calf Show was held in January, ribbons were won by John Cardoza, John Ura, Daniel Lezand, Cesario Delgado, Jesus Martinez, Anthony Pine, and Arthur and George Gomes. These boys were presented with their awards at the Future Farmer assembly held in February. Community projects for the improvement of farming methods in the Township � 36 « were continued. Variety and hybrid trials of peas were carried on at Warm Springs to find varieties which might be better producers than those planted by many farmers at present. In the commercial plant garden at the school, plots of 34 pea varieties and 26 cover crops were planted for study. Corn trials were continued as student projects, emphasizing especially the Golden Cross strain. The P. G. E. co¬ operated with a few members working with early crop tomatoes as an experi¬ ment. The classes also planted walnut trees and flowering peach trees around the campus. The work of the Future Farmers was greatly improved by the fine new class room, the reorganized farm shop, and the new pick-up truck for which the mem¬ bers are grateful to the Board of Trustees. The officers for the past year were: President, Martin Duarte; Vice-President, Paul Rivers; Secretary, Melvin Luna; Treasurer, George J. Silva; Reporter, Billy Foster; Sports Manager, Joe Kato; Adviser, Mr. Dougherty. INKLING ' Tnkling ' ' is the name of a literary magazine published annually by the mem¬ bers of the Writer ' s Club. Any student wishing to try his hand at creative writing, whether it be the production of short plays, short stories, poems, or descriptive composition is invited to join. There are no dues or regulations governing mem¬ bership; the only qualification being the interest of the member in creative writing. This club is a continuation of the Penguin Qub which was organized seven years ago by Miss Knoles for the purpose of developing latent creative writing talent. The president of the club is Grayce Ura, who is editor of the Inkling. The editor has had varied experience in literary work, including four years on the Hatchet Staff. Claire Musick was elected associate editor, while John Dusterberry was appointed business manager. Miss Knoles is the adviser. The sixth volume of the Inkling was published during the first part of May after a successful sales campaign conducted by the business manager. BAND AND ORCHESTRA V Under the ccble instruction of Mr. Thornburg, the band and orchestra passed through another active year. During football season the band, playing lively marches, helped the rooters cheer the team to victory, and with its music put color and pep into the games. It also took an active part in enlivening assembly programs. The orchestra, on the other hand, played for the formal events. Combined with the band, it played several classical selections between the acts of the Christmas Pageant, as well as all of the accompaniments. It also played for the student body play, the senior play. For graduation, the orchestra and the band again combined and offered several interesting selections. CHORUS During the past year the chorus, under the direction of Mr. Thornburg, has studied many types of music, including numbers from the Italian school of music, Russian Church music, with Russian words, Negro spirituals, and Bach Chorales, as well as the familiar chorus songs. Members of the chorus have participated in assembly programs, and they sang at the Teachers ' Institute in Alameda. They also took an active part in the Christmas Pageant and in the Vodvil. Three of the members, Marylyn Maciel, Marion Ziegler, and Winifred Bendel, attended the California Western School of Music Conference held in San Fran¬ cisco during the Spring Vacation. The chorus has improved remarkably during the past year and has become one of the major activities of the school. � 39 « THE STUDENT BODY PLAY BABS Babs ' a rollicking farce, was presented on October 23 before a capacity audience. Babs, as the mischievous little sister, returns home for a vacation as a result of a measles scare. Immediately on her arrival things begin to happen. Plans for a dinner party honoring Clinton Beresford, her sister Leila ' s fiance, are practically ruined. Carter Brooks loves Babs, but to her he is just a kid she grew up with. Babs starts a mystery of a mythical lover, Harold Valentine, who to her dismay turns up in real life at the dinner party and demands that she really do love him. Babs is in the midst of further plots when she finally gets the measles. Beresford ' s attentions turn from Leila to Babs who cleverly turns them back to Leila and an elopement is the result. Babs finally realizes her own true love is Carter Brooks after all, and a happy ending for everyone is the result. The cast was ably coached by Miss Fisher. The leads were taken by Mary Virginia Bristow as Babs, Lucille Oliveira as Leila Archibald, Robert Zwissig as Carter Brooks, and Llewellyn Gwyther as Clinton Beresford. This cast was well supported by George Mathiesen as Mr. James Archibald, June Farrington as Jane Raleigh, Edmund Burke as Eddie Perkins, John Berchem as Guy Gros- venor alias Harold Valentine, Lillian Silva as Hannah, Wesley Nunes as Wil¬ liam, and Marion Ziegler as Mrs. Archibald. � 40 « CHRISTMAS PAGEANT The Light of a Star ' the Christmas Pageant presented December 16, was the second high mark in dramatics for this school year. The Christmas Pageant has become a custom of this school and in the past has been presented in the evening. This year it was given in the afternoon instead so that the whole student body might enjoy this charming holiday spectacle. As special guests, parents and friends were invited to share in this Christmas program. The hall was beautifully decorated with wreaths and garlands of Christmas greenery, whose spicy perfume combined with the dim religious light to lend an air of reverent serenity to the occasion. The decorations were arranged by the Freshman Class, who brought the greens, made the wreaths and garlands, and hung them the previous day. In a spectacular climax in the last scene, the chorus, attired in white surplices, stood on a raised platform with a gauze curtain before them, singing beautiful Christmas music while the shepherds and Wise Men came to worship at Bethlehem. The cast, directed by Miss Botelho with the assistance of Mr. Rees and Mr. Thornburg, included the following addition to the members of the chorus: MARY.MARYLYN MACIEL JOSEPH.PAUL HICKEY KING HEROD...„.GEORGE BONDE DOSITHIUS.DOREMUS SCUDDER REUBEN, THE SHEPHERD.RICHARD HUNGER HIS WIFE.EDNA LEAL HIS CHILDREN.JUNE STANNARD, VIVIAN LOGAN, HAROLD BELSHAW, VERMILDA DeLUCE WISE MEN.LAWRENCE WALDT, WESLEY NUNES, WILBUR WILLIAMS SHEPHERDS.JOSEPH AMARAL, ALVIN KING, BILLY MILLET DANCERS.ANTOINETTE HOLEMAN, JUNE STANNARD, JANE STANHOPE � 41 « 1.

These and a number of other stunts were the specialties of the 1937 Vodvil. The girls of the Pennies were dressed in blue with white cellophane coats, and wore bell-boy hats. Contrasting with the transparent capes, the girls held orchid cellophane umbrellas. The Waltz consisted of a chorus of girls dancing to beautiful waltzes, and light-footed Josephine Foehr dancing in her charming way. Closing the act, Lor¬ raine Peterson and Paul Manley sang Waltzing in a Dream. Time Marches Backward. Turning the clock backward, we come to the Gay Nineties. This stunt was a revival of the old gay tunes, — Take Me Out to the Ball Game and A Bicycle Built for Two. For skill and breath taking moments in the Vodvil, we had a specialty— Skaters. Various tricks were done on roller skates, and the audience held its breath when David Sousa tried to compete with the other skaters. In every Vodvil, we must have comedy, and this year it was more than pro¬ vided in the Hot-Dog act, with John Berchem, Tom Estudillo, and Georgie, Tom ' s favorite pet. The second act was a scene in a Gypsy Camp. Gypsies in bright colored cos¬ tumes, earrings, and sashes made a colorful scene when the curtain opened, with Marylyn Maciel and Claire Musick singing the lead in Play Gypsies, Dance Gypsies. A fast tempo gypsy dance followed; then the ever popular La Cucaracha used for a dance, followed in guick order by Los Viejitos, another Mexican dance. Vera Duarte was featured with her guitar singing Rancho Grande. To further add to this gay atmosphere Antoinette Holeman gave a Spanish dance. The Accordion Quintet composed of John Accinelli, Florence Martinelli, Ger¬ trude Mozetti, Bruno Orsetti, and Evelyn Brown received much applause. To finish the second act the Chain Gang, a group of football boys in assorted sizes and dressed as convicts presented a comical routine. Spike Sampson, the � 43 little strong man, who can lift a ton weight with two hands, fell asleep to dream of a lovely dancing girl, June Stannard, who came along and danced in his dream. The Tap Team, consisting of Florence May and Clarice Niemeth, the Musi¬ cal Album Stunt, the Piano duet, the Pantomime, the Blackouts, and the Stars were also very well received. A Finale dedicated to John Accinelli, senior accordionist, closed one of the most successful Vodvils ever presented. ASSEMBLIES Dramatic Assemblies using school talent have been a new feature at Wash¬ ington High this year. Because of the success of the few such ploys that have been presented in past years, the Student Council decided to have more of them. The programs, which were presented by the various classes and the departments of the school, enjoyed much popularity.

While you were here we gave you as many opportunities as possible to participate in the games of your choice. We felt that these sports, when tackled intelligently and run on the right lines, had splendid effects. They toughened you so you didn ' t mind the little bumps and bruises. They developed many qualities in you such as courage, control of your, temper and ability to come through in a pinch. We have tried to mrTt ' aylor teach you sportsmanship, good fellowship, and fair play. These lessons we feel sure have brought you results in athletics. Now we trust you will find that they bring results in the game of life as well. Good Luck!—Alvin Morse. This is a pep talk. Seniors. Life can be well compared to the game of football. Sometimes you ride the crest of a wave, sometimes you are deep in a trough. Get in there and play the game. Give and take, practice diligently and remem¬ ber that no one man ever conquered the world, it is team play that counts. Remember, too, the saying In the final judgment it isn ' t whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. So long, seniors, good luck!—Judson Taylor. Girls of ' 37, you are going onward to greater undertakings—making a place for yourselves as worthwhile members of society, just as you have as members of Washington Union High School. You are graduating, yet you are not leaving completely, for we will have the high standards you have set for us, and we cherish these treasures. Our wish for you is that you carry with you the fine spirit of sportsmanship and cooperative living you have shown us—that you play fair, clean, and hard in life as you have done in your school sports. Congratulations to you. Girls,—may your future hold MISS DU COTY much that is rich and fine.—Maxine Du Coty.

Although composed chiefly of young and inex- X perienced material, the Cornhuskers overcame this handicap by displaying indomitable spirit. Throughout the season they exhibited great potentialities and ended their football activities with three victories and five defeats. Lasting credit is due to our new Coach, Judson Taylor. Although he com¬ menced his coaching duties the week of the first game, and was handicapped with untried material, he proved to be a very energetic and inspiring tutor. He infused in the players a desire to play the game with a fighting spirit, facing strong opposition without discouragement. Above all he stressed the value of team work, fair play and clean sportsmanship. To Captain Lawrence Houck also goes praise for his work, both as a leader and as an excellent backfield player. Another outstanding player was Meivyn Luna, a fine flonkmon who consistently played an aggressive and clever game. Both ore Seniors and will be missed next year. Others who merit high honors and will also be lost through graduation ore: � 48 « First Row; Mr. Taylor, D. Souza, R. Solon, L. Leal, L. Silva, T. Duarte, J. Sinclair, P. Pagan, R. Munger, C.

Forming the backbone of the team, they will be greatly missed, and leave the Coach with several places to fill on next season ' s team. However, with experienced men such as Donald Costa, Paul Rivers, Norman Ahm, Julius Pine, Cyrus Solon, Leonard George, Elwin Gaunt, and Frank Mellow returning, plus new players that we may expect to find next year, Washington High should turn out a good team next fall.

CLASS “C” FOOTBALL Showing their true caliber, the Baby Huskers again captured the S. A. C. A. L. football championship. Since the organization of Class C football three years agOi the W. U. H. S. C ' s team has been undefeated in league competition, and lost but twice in practice games. This past season the C ' s added new honors, winning four out of five games, losing only to a non-league team. To coaches Matson and Morse should go much credit for guiding the young Huskers through another successful season. With practically all the men returning, prospects for another championship are bright. The following are the games played: SEPTEMBER 24 BELLARMINE . . 0 WASHINGTON OCTOBER 15 LIVERMORE . . 0 WASHINGTON OCTOBER 22 BELLARMINE . . 6 WASHINGTON OCTOBER 29 MT. DIABLO . . 6 WASHINGTON NOVEMBER 5 ALBANY . . 6 WASHINGTON 51 BASKETBALL CLASS A The Washington Union High School varsity basketball team completed one of its most disastrous seasons this year. The team went through a schedule of twenty games, managing to win only two league games and one practice game. The end of league competition found the Huskers occupying the bottom of the ladder in the six school Southern Alameda County League. Despite the efforts of Coach Morse and the co-operation of the entire squad, the lack of experienced material brought about by non-competition in basketball last year was too great a handicap to overcome. Senior members of the squad whose services will be missed next year are: K. Faria, E. Kitade, T. Hirabayashi, L. Houck, R. Mottos, W. Rupp, J. Sinclair, R. Solon, and L. Silva. However, we are looking forward to new material from the B Squad. 5 V.; V. • CLASS B Finishing a tie for second place with Emeryville in the Southern Alameda County League, the Washington Union High School ' ' B ' ' basketball team com¬ pleted a fairly successful season this year. They triumphed nine times and suffered eleven defeats during the season. Seven of the B ' ' team ' s victories were league contests. The boys started League play by winning four successive games before being defeated by Livermore. In the second round Livermore handed Washington their second straight defeat and ruined the Husker ' s championship hopes. Considering the fact that most of his material were former C team players, Coach Taylor deserves much credit for the fine team which he put on the court to represent Washington. Only two of the starting players, Y. Tomimotsu and H. Valim, were seniors, and the remaining members will form the nucleus of next year ' s varsity and B teams for Washington. CLASS C This year the Washington Union High School C basketball team fared well, finishing a highly successful season by sharing a three-way tie for the champion¬ ship with teams from Livermore and Emeryville High Schools. Class C basket¬ ball develops Class B and Varsity basketball men. This year material for future teams was exceptionally fine and plentiful. � 53 « SCORES OF LEAGUE GAMES CLASS A Date Opponent Place Jan. 8, 1937 Amador 27 Washington 15 - - - Here Jan. 15, 1937 Albany 35 Washington 26 - - - There Jon. 22, 1937 Emeryville 42 Washington 14 - - - There Jan. 26, 1937 Foothills 35 Washington 20 - - - Here Jan. 29, 1937 Livermore 21 Washington 14 - - - Here Feb. 5, 1937 Amador 27 Washington 14 - - - There Feb. 11, 1937 Albany 16 Washington 18 - - - Here Feb. 16, 1937 Emeryville 39 Washington 23 - - - Here Feb. 19, 1937 Foothills 29 Washington 12 - - - There Feb. 26, 1937 Livermore 18 Washington 20 - - - There CLASS ' .

TENNIS This year the boys ' tennis team with Mr. Webb as coach entered its third year of interscholastic competition. The student manager, Donald Ahrens, arranged a schedule by which the tennis team had tournaments with many teams, includ¬ ing Livermore, Pleasanton, Hayward, Bellermine, Santa Clara, Albany, and Redwood City. The first three places were held by Donald Ahrens, James Emerson, and Robert Ziegler. The doubles tennis consisted of Keith and Tom Whipple. The rest of the boys alternated in playing second doubles. The first two competitive matches with Livermore and Pleasanton were won by the boys, and gave them a good start for other matches to be played.

There is also a promising outlook for next year with the loss of only one player. Late rains were the principal cause for the woe of Coach Tcj lor, as rain inter¬ fered with a number of practice sessions as well as pre-season games. Conse¬ quently, the team, not having reached its proper form was severely handicapped. Also interfering with the success of the unlimited squad, was the relatively small size of the pitching staff, which consisted of only two hurlers. These, however, handled their post in a very capable manner, overcoming the drawback. Coach Taylor, in disclaiming credit for his work in guiding the varsity through a very successful season, stated that in his opinion some of his boys would rather play baseball than eat. However, Coach certainly deserves a great deal of credit for his fine work.

As is the custom, competition with the elementary schools of the Township formed the backbone of the B ' s schedule. In addition, however, negotiations were started with nearby high schools in order to obtain competition. After a year ' s absence from the position, Mr. Mette again became coach of the B ' s. As the players form the foundation for future varsities, Mr. Mette ' s suc¬ cessful instilling of the fundamentals of baseball into the B team boys was very valuable, and many expressions of appreciation for his help came from the players. � 57 « CLASS A Standing: J.

The tradition of the Greeks; a perfection to strive for, yet never a goal attained: following out these age-old ideas our boys who came out for track worked hard and deserve a lot of credit. This year the team was scheduled to face such adversaries as San Leandro, Hayward, Hollister, and Gilroy. At the S. A. C. A. L. Track Meet, an eagerly anticipated event, held at the California School for the Deaf in Berkeley on May 8, the cindermen participated in four-way competition with Livermore High School, Albany High School, and the California School for the Deaf. Although competition was stiff, Husker track- sters made a good showing, the B ' s placing first and the A ' s third. The following boys par cipated in the track events: Bob Shedd, John Accinelli, Paul Manley, Dave Souza, Teddy Pepitone, Newell Rocha, Ernest Frei, Sam Uchiyama, Manuel Alameda, Donald Dias, Jack Machida, Hiroji Egashira, Yoshio Tomimatsu, James Sinclair, Joe Azevedo, and Iwao Tsuno. In the field events, Rocha, Rogers, Frei, and Valin high jumped; Ahm, Hodges, Rupp threw the shot; Ahm, Hodges, and Frei threw the discuss; and Manley, Souza, Shedd, and Frei participated in the broad jump.

Varied programs of the regular intramural sports of speedball, basketball, and volleyball and the lesser sports of badminton, battledore and shuttlecock, cro¬ quet, horseshoes, and shuffleboard were carried out. Competition which was unusually stiff between rival periods, resulted in a number of close scores. As is customary, the game parallel to football, called speedball, was played during the first quarter of the school year. Through an elimination contest the seventh period girls, led by Isola Moise, emerged victorious over Bernice Borba ' s second perioders by a score of 10-0. Immediately following, the girls ' basketball season was under way. In almost every game played the team s which won did so by hairbreadth margins of five or fewer points. The second period basketball team was out to win the championship this time at all costs. With unparalleled teamwork, perfect goaling and fine guarding, the girls played well and hard. With the onset of better weather, volleyball was enjoyed on the tennis courts. The unusually severe winter and much inclement weather played havoc with the girls ' tennis squad. Tournaments to determine the most superior racquet wielder among girls of this school did not get under way until mid-spring. The battle for top honors culminated in a three-way tie with the Harrold sisters and Margaret Shimizu repeatedly trading places. Following closely were Olga Gronley, Grayce Ura, and Narnia Tajima. A large turnout in tennis demanded three separate ladders of sixteen persons each to accommodate all the girls interested in this sport. Games were played within classes to determine the singles, doubles, and substitute players for the teams. Tennis was one of the most exciting games played on the girls ' Play Day, held April 24, on our grounds. Girls from high schools of Southern Alameda County played this sport with our girls. Miss Du Coty, the girls ' athletic coach, is to be remembered for her coaching and guidance, while the girls ' athletic manager, Florence Freitas, deserves much credit for the success of our girls ' Athletic Program. JOKES English Teacher: Have you ever read, ' ' To a Field Mouse ? Student: Nol How do you get them to listen? Mr. Goold: Why are you late for school, Sunol? The Wests: We started late. Mr. Goold: Why didn ' t you start early? Wests: Because it was too late to start early. Teacher: There ' s no difficulty in the world that cannot be overcome, if you try hard enough. Voice from the back of the room: Have you ever tried squeezing toothpaste back into the tube? First Future Farmer: Yes, I ' ve seen a few bad crop years in my time, too. One year our string beans were so poor that the crop didn ' t even pay for the string. Second F. F.: That ' s nothing. One year our corn crop was so bad that my old dad, who had a very poor appetite, ate up 14 acres of corn at a single meal. On the opening day of school one of the teachers in charge of a group of Freshmen who were filing their study cards, called one pupil up to the desk. Beg your pardon, but what is your name? Name, echoed the bewildered Freshman, don ' t you see my signature th ere on that cord I just filled out? Of course, answered the teacher, that ' s what aroused my curiosity. Chemistry Student (to Druggist): Give me some of that prepared monaceticaci- dester of salicylic acid. Druggist: Do you mean aspirin? Chem. Student: That ' s right! I can never think of that name. What are you writing? A joke. Well, give her my regards. , Teacher: Why didn ' t you comb your hair after P. E.? Pupil: I thought I did, but there were twelve of us using the same mirror today and I must have combed some other guy ' s hair. Student: What is the date, please? Professor: Never mind the date. The examination is more important. Student: Well, sir, I wanted to have something right on my paper. � 62 « HERFF-JONES COMPANY Designers and Manufacturers of SCHOOL AND COLLEGE JEWELRY COMMENCEMENT INVITATIONS MEDALS CUPS TROPHIES INDIANAPOLIS JEWELERS TO WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL MORTON SALT CO Newark - California � 63 « 64 « MADE IN YOUR OWN COMMUNITY USED, n more Kitchens of the West than any other gas range F 1 1 . 1 1 j You know the Wedgewood factory ... just around the corner from your home . . . and more than a million sat¬ isfied users know Wedgewood Gas Ranges as the last word in cooking efficiency.
