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 «

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 «
