Washington High School - Washingtonian Yearbook (Fremont, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1938 volume:

WASHINGTONIAN 19 3 8 FOREWORD Covered wagons and pioneers depict the adventurous and courageous spirit of the early people who blazed trails to van¬ quish new frontiers. With the same spirit, we students are here to succeed in conquering the frontiers in education. With early California as our theme, we, the Senior Class of 1938, have tried to accomplish the task of presenting a true picture of the school year of 1937-1938 in this fifteenth volume of the Washingtonian. IN MEMORIAM MISS E. MARIE SANDHOLDT Our adviser and constant friend whose untiring interest and helpfulness are missed by us all. i ADMINISTRATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES MR. OVERACKER President MR. LOGAN MR. SCOTT MR. OLIVEIRA MR. HARROLD Clerk The Board of Trustees has given its loyal support and interest to the develop¬ ment of higher standards of education at Washington Union High School. Several new courses of study have been added to the wide variety that is already being offered. English R, a special class for students who need assist¬ ance in reading technique, Office Practice, a study of office work which gives the students an opportunity to learn all transactions in an office, and Consumer Education are the additions made in the past year. Because our Homemaking department is organized according to the George-Deen Vocational Education Act, it has been used as an example by other schools. A new system in our administration has been adopted by the Board. This new counseling set-up consists of the Principal, the Vice-Principal, Dean of Girls, Director of Curriculum, a Counsellor for each class. Attendance Clerk, and a Secretary to the Board. A new bus, the replacement of safety glasses in the windows of the busses, the purchase of visual aid equipment, new textbooks, and many other aids to instruction add to the list of accomplishments of the Board. Members of the Student Body greatly appreciate the service the Board has given so willingly toward the betterment of Washington Union High School. « 9 � A. J. RATH BONE Principal J. V. GOOLD Vice-Principal ADMINISTRATION We realize that another successful year at Washington Union High School is largely due to the efficiency and guidance of our administrative force. Our school has grown in enrollment in the post and will continue to grow. Looking toward the future, our principal, Mr. Rathbone, has set up a program for the gradual enlargement of the school. He has attended many conventions and conferences in order to gain new ideas for the benefit of the school. Our vice-principal and dean of boys, Mr. Goold, has proven himself a kind and loyal counselor, always at hand to help the students with their troubles. To these two true and steadfast friends whose assistance we shall long remember, we, the Senior class, regret to say our farewells. 10 FACULTY Evelyn M. Wilson Warren E. Gravestock Josephine P.

ASSOCIATED STUDENTS With pride and gratification the officers and the members of the Student Body can look back upon a year that was spent efficiently and sagaciously. Another group of student leaders have willingly put their efforts into their various duties. Instead of having the boys run against the girls as in the past, the method for the Student Body membership drive was changed. With the Freshmen and Seniors on one side and the Sophomores and Juniors on the other, a close com¬ petition was seen. The task of decorating the gym for the first Student Body dance fell on the losers, the Freshmen and Seniors. To bring variety and enjoyment to our Student Body meetings, many enter¬ taining assembly programs were obtained by Cecil Harrold, program chairman, and her adviser. Miss A. Botelho. Interesting speakers and musical programs were presented. Pearl Young, a singer and theramin player; Hal Burdick, famous for his Night Editor series over the radio; Mr. F. Hutchinson from the Berkeley Rotary Club; Brown and Menely, harpists; and the Tom Thumb Circus were some of the programs that were secured. Exchange programs were again carried out to further friendship between us and the neighboring schools of Hayward, Liver¬ more, and Amador. School talent was displayed at the Girls ' League Christmas Program, a play by the Sophomore Social Studies class, and the various class assemblies. With the cooperation of the students of Washington Union High School, this year has been a successful one. « 12 � STANDING: G. Ushijima, J. Ka+o, J. Parry, L. Zwissig, M. Nunes, A. Cat+aneo, J.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, which is the governing body of the Washington Union High School Student Body, has completed its seventh successful year. The Student Body officers and class representatives have carried out their duties well. Student Body card sales were strongly supported this year. The cards entitled the holders to attend all games and dual meets at home held under the auspices of the Associated Students, to two Student Body dances, two Student Body plays, all assemblies, to receive all issues of the Hatchet, and half of the purchase price of a Washingtonian. Being able to make out a functioning budget was one of the most important duties of the Student Council. Each organization submitted on estimate of finan¬ cial needs for the coming year. All of these estimates were then considered by the council and suitable allotments for the coming year were made. The Student Body believes that the Student Council, working jointly with Mr. Rathbone, has served efficiently and adequately for the school year of 1937-1938. This year amendments were added to the Student Body Constitution revising the section on athletic awards. Provision for block awards for tennis, D basket¬ ball, and C and D track, and for music emblems was made. A music emblem may be obtained by earning 30 points in the band or orchestra. Points are awarded for attendance, practice, attitude, proficiency and public appearances and are assigned by a committee composed of the vice-president of the Student Body and the head of the Music Department. Although the members of the Student Council had to work hard, they also had fun at the various parties. Bringing to a close a very busy year, a weiner roast was held by the Student Council members in June at which time the old mem¬ bers welcomed the new. « 13 � C. SOLON President O.

The Senior Class has finally struck its gold, but its cry of Eureka is a preface to many future struggles and rewards. The Class of ' 38 can look back with pride to the four years of high school life. Early in the fall of 1934 the students entered timidly but with high hopes and am¬ bitions. They quickly fitted themselves to their new environment and joined in with the rest of the school. Throughout their four years they have accomplished much, entering into the athletic, the dramatic, and the scholastic life of the school. Their adventures on the trail that they have followed in their four years at Wash¬ ington Union High School will always be treasured. For their last year they have the memories of the Senior Nights to cherish. The Senior Play, Brewster ' s Millions, given on May 27, was played before a capa¬ city crowd. The Senior Sneak Day, the Senior B akfast, and the Senior Fare¬ well Assembly will live forever in their minds. These memorable activities were followed by Commencement on June 9. On the evening of June 10, the Class of ' 38 gathered for the last time at the Senior Ball. There has been happiness and perhaps a little sorrow as the Senior wagon train has pushed forward, and it is with regret as well as anticipation that the class looks forward to leaving Washington Union High School. The advisers were: Miss Van Winkle, Mrs. Hawley, Miss Knoles, Mr. Grave- stock, Mr. Thornburg. « 15 Tom Estudillo ' Bobbe Sue Foster Billie J. Foster Lucille Prates Ruth Claije Bettencourt Joan A.

West Tom Whipple Helen Mae Witherly Marian Ziegler THE JUNIOR CLASS The final trail before they reach the last fort is approaching for the Juniors. The three years behind them have been happy ones, and they have worked hard to make them successful. The first accomplishment of the year was to display class rings at the begin¬ ning of the term. Because they ordered their rings in the latter part of the Sopho¬ more year, theirs was the first class to obtain them so soon. The cooperative spirit among the members enabled them to win the annual Song and Yell Contest. On March 25, the Juniors presented for an assembly program a hilarious one-act comedy, Just a Little Mistake, which was received enthusiastically by the Student Body. This year gave the Juniors more opportunities to show their capabilities. Many of the class worked on the Hatchet staff in the positions of Assistant Editor, Business Manager, and Sports Editor. They were well represented in the Student Body Play, Vodvil, Operetta, and other activities and had the largest number of any class represented in the Scholarship Society. Their greatest undertaking was the Junior-Senior Prom, which was held on April 22. With the novel idea of a deep sea garden as the theme, the gym was decorated with tropical fish and living plants of the sea. Balloons floated about like bubbles, and reflected lights presented a deep sea atmosphere. The small gym was set with tables, and waitresses, dressed like sailors, served refresh¬ ments. Honoring the Senior class of ' 38, a gardenia was presented to each Senior and mempry books were also given. The Junior class has proved itself successful in all its undertakings. We may well expect an outstanding Senior class next year. «20 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President...... Vice-President.----- Secretary.. Treasurer. Student Council Representative.

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS With a long trail still ahead of them and with a little more experience behind them, the Sophomore Class took up the second lap of their journey. October 22, 1937, marked the date for the Sophomore Cotton Hop, which was a cord and gingham affair. The gym was decorated appropriately for the theme with balls of cotton laid among the greens. Each person, upon entering the dance floor, was presented with a program decorated with gingham. When the final hour of the dance approached, everyone was regretful. This was the first pro¬ gram dance that had been held in a long time, and it proved to be a great success. The class ' s second undertaking for the year was its assembly program given on April 22. This was a take-off in which students impersonated all of the mem¬ bers of the faculty, and it was very amusing to the student body. Every year it has been customary for the Sophomore class to take care of the museum case. A chosen committee placed in the case interesting displays on travel, featuring articles from England, Australia, the Fiji Islands, and Alaska. Another Sophomore duty is decorating the halls and auditorium for the Christ¬ mas Pageant. This year ' s class used the traditional greens and candles, but added a Nativity scene, which was set up in the trophy case. The Sophomores showed excellent dramatic talent. They took part in and submitted stunts for the Vodvil, and furnished one of the leads for the Student Body Play. Many members of this class were also on the Hatchet Staff and in the Scholarship Society. « 22 � SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President................Tom MeWhirter Vice-President . . . .... ...

The first few weeks were trying for them, but after they had adjusted themselves to their new sur¬ roundings, they went to work with great enthusiasm. After the traditional Freshman initiation, the class met to elect its leaders and to make plans for the year. The first class activity was the Freshman Dance held on Friday evening, February 18, 1938. A winter sports theme was carried out. The orchestra was seated against a background of snow crystals, while a picket fence, covered with snow, led onto the dance floor. In one corner of the gym, a large snow man with his pipe and broomstick stood beside a snow-covered tree. With these effective decorations, the impression left in everyone ' s mind was a winter wonderland. This first venture was a success and those who attended had an enjoyable evening. The Freshmen, whose duty it is, kept the trophy case in good condition by cleaning it and by polishing the trophies. The talents possessed by various members of the class were first displayed at a program given on Freshman Initiation Day. Journalistic ability was discov¬ ered when there was a large turn-out for the Hatchet staff. The Vodvil and the Student Body Play proved that dramatic skill could be found in the class. Scholastic capability was revealed when eleven Freshmen won places in the Scholarship Society This class of one hundred and eighty is the largest in the school and largest that has ever entered Washington Union High School. 24 FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS President.....

Marie Sandholdt, is a league of all the girls of the school. Its purpose has always been to foster good fellowship among the girls, and to keep before them and in practice the finest qualities of ideal young womanhood. In the early part of the year, the Girls ' League suffered an irreparable loss in the death of their counselor and Dean of Girls, Miss Sandholdt. Moved by their loss, and longing to give to the school a suitable memorial to her, the League is presenting a picture of Miss Sandholdt with a bronze memorial plate upon the frame. The first social activity of the year was the Freshman Reception. To each Freshman girl was assigned a girl from one of the upper classes to act as Big Sister and individual hostess for the day. A program of music, dancing, and refreshments provided an enjoyable afternoon, and served as the Freshman initiation into the League. One of the activities this year was the adoption and sale of an official school sticker. The sale of these colorful and decorative stickers will continue to be a source of revenue for the League. In May, Miss Margaret Starcevic of Mt. Zion Hospital, San Francisco, gave an interesting talk on the profession of nursing and other vocational opportunities for girls. The officers of the Girls ' League were: President, lane Stanhope; Vice-Presi¬ dent, Yvonne Vieux; Secretary, Esther lason; Treasurer, Ellen Power; Yell Leader, Eleanor Vierra; Adviser, Mrs. Wright. « 27 � TOP ROW: J.

HATCHET The Hatchet, a semi-monthly paper edited and published by the students of Washington Union High School is an extra-curricular activity in which a larger number of students participate than in any other. It is a four-page paper with five columns. The first page contains all the important and latest news of the school, and the second page consists of alumni news, editorials, a book review, an exchange column, gossip column, and the principal ' s corner, which is the only article that is not written by the students. Miscellaneous articles make up the third page, and the last page is devoted to girls ' and boys ' sports. Hatchet delegates to the annual Press Convention held at the University of California on March 24, 25, 26, were Marian Ziegler, Anita Lagorio, Emi Kawa¬ guchi, Margaret Williamson, Mary Virginia Bristow, John Dusterberry, and their adviser. Miss Knoles. The responsibility of editing the paper this year was undertaken by Marian Ziegler, the editor, with the assistance of Doremus Scudder and Ellen Power. George Mathieson, the business manager, took care of the finances of the Hatchet. Much credit is given to Mr. Kibby and the boys of the printing shop who helped to print the Hatchet on time, to the commercial classes for typing the articles, and also to the members who have worked on the staff. «28 TOP ROW; A.

SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY Reaching is highest point since its beginning in 1925, the Scholarship Society of Washington Union High School, Chapter 111 of the California Scholarship Federation, boasts a membership of forty-two members. The purpose of this organization is to give recognition to those students who have attained high scholastic records. In order to become a member of the society, a student must have grades that are equivalent to ten points. An A in a solid subject amounts to three points, and one point is given for a B. A student may earn two points in extra-curricular activities. A student who remains in the society for six semesters, of which one must be in the Senior year, receives a gold seal on his diploma, life membership in the C. S. F., and a gold scholarship pin. Marian Ziegler has already earned her points for these honors. As the Washingtonian goes to press, it seems likely that the following will have qualified for the same honors: Yvonne Vieux, Anita Lagorio, Emi Kawaguchi, and Charles West. The society ' s first activity of the year was to send delegates to the annual fall district convention, which was held at the High School of Commerce in San Francisco. Those representing Chaper 111 were: Anita Lagorio, Emi Kawaguchi, Yvonne Vieux, and John Dusterberry, with Miss Knoles as adviser. On April 20, a very successful initiation party was held for the new members. The officers for the past year were: President, Yvonne Vieux; Vice-President, Eiko Egashira; Secretary-Treasurer, Suzu Shimizu; Program Chairmen, Marian Ziegler and Charles West; Adviser, Miss Knoles. « 29 � STANDING; K, Kato, B.

GIRLS’ W CLUB To have an organization to promote finer sportsmanship among the athletics- loving girls was the purpose of establishing the Girls ' W Club. For a girl to receive a block W, 750 points must be earned in the various sports. Recogni¬ tion is given for regular participation in athletics as well as for skill. One hundred points are given for a first team player, fifty points for a second team player, and ten points go to the captains representing the popular choice of each class. For an additional 250 points, a star is awarded. After electing the officers for the year, the girls met to change some of the club ' s policies. Formerly, 750 points was the requisite number for membership. This number of points was reduced to 600 points to enable more girls to join the organization. The 250 additional points entitling one to a star must be earned within one year after receiving a block W. Because the tennis enthusiasts have anticipated some kind of reward for a long time, the club has worked hard to obtain block awards for them, and also for the athletics manager. The members helped towards the success of the Boys ' W Club dance by assisting with the decorations and by taking charge of the card room. At the annual initiation party held in May, nineteen new girls were welcomed into the club making a total of thirty members. The officers who directed the club for the year were: President, Lillian Silva; Vice-President, Misuye Fudenna; Secretary-Treasurer, Kiyo Kato; Yell Leader, Eleanor Vierra; Adviser, Miss DuCoty. 30 � FIRST ROW; J.

Membership in this society is granted to any boy who has earned a block W in any one of the four major sports, football, basket¬ ball, track, or baseball. The successful year was due largely because the purposes of the W Club, to promote physical efficiency, good sportsmanship, good companionship, and to create an interest in athletics, were carried out efficiently, and interest in the activities was shown by the large number of new members who were initiated. The annual block W Club dance, held in December, was a big event in the school calendar and was a great success. Under the leadership of the W Club, the annual Play Day held in May for the Grammar Schools of the Township was enjoyed by all. This is the annual Big Meet for all the sports-minded athletes of the grammar schools. The W Club members took control of the seating at football games this season and of keeping order. They also took care of the parking of cars at the games. For those boys who were unable to qualify for the regular teams, intra-mural basketball and horseshoe pitching contests were held. Much credit is due to the active work of the officers and advisers, and the cooperation of the students. The officers were: President, Paul Rivers; Secretary-Treasurer, Leroy Naia; Advisers, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Morse. 31 FUTURE FARMERS A very active year was begun by the Future Farmers with participation in the Monterey District Fair last August. Approximately twenty members attended and returned with many cash prizes and 70 ribbons. At an assembly shortly after school opened, the ribbons and prizes were awarded to the winning mem¬ bers. Among the eight schools that were represented, Washington Union High School placed second. Following the Fair, a Public Speaking Contest was held by the Hayward Pro¬ duction Credit Association. In this, the representative of Washington ' s chapter, John Ura, brought back honors. As an award he was taken on a two-day educa¬ tional tour through the Bay Cities. On January 14 the chapter was host to the school at its annual F. F. A. dance. The gymnasium was decorated with the Future Farmer Emblems and appropri¬ ate agricultural products. On March 3 our chapter entertained the Principal and the Board of Trustees of Livermore High School with accounts and demonstrations of the chapter ' s work and with a trip to leading projects. The purpose of this group ' s visit was to investigate the work of the Future Farmers. The Board voted later to establish on Agricultural Department in their high school. This will be the fourth depart¬ ment, of which ours was the first, to be established in the county. Another event in March was the Regional meeting of the Future Farmers and the Department of Regional Agricultural teachers held at our high school on the 19th. Games in the gym followed the business session. Conservation Week was observed by the Future Farmers with an assembly program. Talks on the conservation of pheasants , trees, and wild flowers, water supply, hillside soils, and recreation were given by some of the boys. «32 Some of the farming improvements that were worked out by the boys this year were: (1) the establishment of foundation herds of purebred Poland Qiina and Duroc Jersey hogs and Holstein cattle; (2) the continuance of further investiga¬ tions in tomatoes, especially with the Pearson, the Early Shipper, and the Car¬ dinal varieties, all of which were first planted in Washington Township by Future Farmers; (3) the distribution among the students of five hundred grape cuttings of desirable, but uncommon table varieties donated by the U. S. D. A.; (4) borrow¬ ings were made on a small scale from the Hayward Production Credit Associa¬ tion to finance farming programs for the students. The busy year was climaxed by the Bolada Park Field Day held on May 28. Many members attended and participated in games and sports. All chapters of the South Coast Region were included in this field day. Night meetings were held monthly throughout the year. A series of basketball games was played with neighboring chapters of Pleasanton, Morgan Hill, and Watsonville. A successful year was realized under the able adviser, Mr. Dougherty, and the following officers: David Escobar, President; Joseph Kato, Vice-President; John Ura, Secretary; Leonard Bettencourt, Treasurer; and Edward Fontuzzi, Reporter. HOOT OWLS A debate club was again organized in W. U. H. S. after a period of several years. The name adopted by the club was the Hoot Owls, the same as that of the former debate club. The first meeting attracted a large group, as the organ¬ ization offered experience to students in speaking and the opportunity to increase their knowledge of various subjects. The first work carried out by the new club was the acceptance of the challenge from Sequoia Union High School on the question, Resolved: That the extension of consumers ' cooperatives in the United States would benefit public welfare. As a result of this debate, others followed which were enthusiastically received by the various classes that attended. A return debate was accepted by Sequoia Union High School on the question, Resolved: That the basic principles of the C. I. O. are more representative of American democratic ideals than those of the A. F. of L. The debates were planned and financial affairs were token care of by a com¬ mittee composed of George Mathiesen, Ellen Power, Dora Gastelum, George Ushijima, Mary Hamachi, Mary V. Bristow, and Suzu Shimizu. A successful and an active year is credited to the officers and advisers: Ellen Power, President; Marjorie Pimentel, Vice-President; Dora Gastelum, Secretary; George Mathiesen, Parliamentarian; Miss J. Wilson and Mr. Gravestock, Ad¬ visers. «33 � TOP ROW: Miss Van Winkle, G. Ushiiima, J. Silva, C. Damico, J. Parry, A. Tsuno, Miss McWilliams. MIDDLE ROW: G. Coley, A. Santos, J.

WASHINGTONIAN Another school year has been completed and another group of Seniors will leave behind them a remembrance in the lasting form of a book, the Washing¬ tonian. Early in the fall, the Senior Class elected the editor, Emi Kawaguchi, and the business manager, James Silva, in order that the work on the Washingtonian might have an early start. The members of the staff were chosen according to their capability in the various fields. Those selected were: Antonia Espinosa, assistant editor; Jack Parry, assistant business manager; George Ushijima, boys ' sports; Cecil Harrold, girls ' sports; Alvina Santos, classes; Winifred Bendel, drama; Olga Gronley and Thelma Van Ike, organizations; Laura Escobar, art; Carmello Damico, Future Farmers; Akira Tsuno, pictures; Gertrude Coley, jokes; and Lucille Oliveira, typist. This year, for the first time since 1934, a theme was chosen. The staff decided on Early California and with pictures of covered wagons, missions, and mis¬ sionaries tried to convey a feeling of early days here. The staff has tried to follow the theme throughout the annual with pictures on the cover, in the opening section and in the introduction page to each division of the book. The editors have tried to make this year ' s book attractive as well as different from last year ' s through the use of rounded corners on the pictures and interesting arrangements of snapshots and sports pictures. The new camera purchased by the Student Body made it possible for us to take the individual pictures of the football team as well as many of the other pictures. 34 � To the business men of the township, the staff feels indebted for the financial aid given us by the advertising in our annuals. The business managers have done a very estimable piece of work in handling the financial affairs. Under the supervision of Miss Van Winkle, we of the staff were able to publish the 1938 Washingtonian. We also appreciate the help given by Miss McWilliams with the lay-outs and editorial work. The boys of the print shop with Mr. Kibby ' s guidance made the covers. The staff has worked hard in editing this 1938 Washingtonian to perpetuate the activities of the school year 1937-1938. It has been the endeavor of this year ' s staff to present an accurate record in a varied but lasting form. INKLING Original stories, poems, personal essays, plays, and short descriptive sketches by the students make up the Inkling, a literary magazine which is an outlet for students ' creative achievements. Material for the magazine is obtained by sponsoring an Inkling Day in the English classes. Selections are chosen on the basis of originality and style. The 1938 Inkling is composed of forty-two pages which contain articles written by thirty Washington Union High School student authors . These contributions represent all four classes. This year ' s Inkling is the largest that has ever been published in Washington Union High School. Members of the Scholarship Society took over the responsibility of selling the Inklings . The members were headed by Kazuei Tate who conducted the sale of the tickets for this literary magazine. Though the magazine was larger, the price remained at ten cents. A sale of three hundred booklets was made possible by the diligent working of the Scholarship Society members. The covers are brown with the name lettered in gold and the school seal in gold in the lower right-hand corner. The Inkling is a spring publication which is issued in the latter part of May. The work of compiling the articles is done by Miss Knoles. The printing is a special project of the boys in the shop under the direction of Mr. Kibby. «35 STUDENT BODY PLAY Slightly Delirious Slightly Delirious, a delightfully crazy comedy, full of amusing situations, was given by students on October 27, 1937. The colorful living room of Mr. Lister ' s seashore cottage is the scene for the entire play. Mr. Lister ' s romantic maid, Maudie, and the butler, Huxley, are interrupted during their work by a group of vacationers who excitedly bring in a stranger, an unconscious young man named Algernon Angell, whom they have just rescued from drowning in the surf. When Algernon regains consciousness, the vacationers discover that he is suffering from amnesia and cannot remember his identity. Some clothes are found on the beach, and it is concluded that they belong to Algy. As a result, he is mistaken for the wealthy Mr. James Hathaway Contelope. Because of this, everyone from then on does his best to impress the prominent man, hoping for either social or financial aid. Mrs. Swayne, who is always trying to rise socially, tries to force him to propose to her daughter, Stella. Some jewels are stolen and a pet frog, Lulu, belonging to Maudie, the maid, disappears. Lula Clayton, a young lady in search of her missing sweetheart, the original Algernon Angell, arrives on the scene to add more confusion to this fast-moving farce. All the complications are finally cleared up and the ploy ends in a happy climax. Mary Virginia Bristow as Maudie, the Lister ' s maid, played opposite William Silva, who portrayed Huxley, the butler. Their acting kept the audience in a laughing mood throughout the evening. John Ferrante as Algernon Angell, the amnesia victim, showed much dramatic talent. Jack Charters, a more than a seaside vacationer, was played by George Bonde. Mrs. Swayne was cleverly portrayed by Margaret Williamson. Lesser roles were cleverly played by Lorraine Peterson as Mrs. Swayne ' s daughter, Stella; Genevieve Andrade and Vermilda De Luce as Stella ' s friends, Frances and Della; Jim Emerson and Delphine Ornellas as Mr. and Mrs. Lister at whose house the story takes place; John Ziegler and Elizabeth Lindsay as Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fellows; Arch Sparrow as an uninvited guest whose stealthy move¬ ments about the Lister ' s cottage offer exciting mystery. Betty Denton played the part of Lulu Clayton, and Peter Stork portrayed the plain clothes man who finally solved the mystery. The success of the play, Slightly Delirious, was largely due to the able directing of Miss A. Botelho, Miss J. Wilson, and Miss S. Botelho. « 36 � THE CHRISTMAS PAGEANT The Christmas Pag¬ eant, The Otherwise Man was the beauti¬ ful story written by Henry Van Dyke, and revised and put into play form by Miss Antoinette Botelho, play director. The pageant was the story of four wise men instead of three. Because he was al¬ ways helping some unfortunate person, the other wise man never reached the manger in Bethlehem. He carried three gifts: a sapphire, a pearl, and a ruby which he used to help others, giving the last to a slave girl for her ransom. One night a vision of the Christ came to the other wise man saying: Even as you have done it unto one of my children, you have done it unto me. The musical background for the pageant was supplied by the chorus chanting old Jewish hymns and a verse speaking choir of angels. The main cast of characters was: Reader, Mr. Jack Rees; Artoban, Arch Spar¬ row; Tigranes, Paul Manley; Abagarus, Lawrence Waldt; First Man, George Emerson; Second Man, Tom McWhirter; Third Man, Rudolph Brazil; Traveler, John Ziegler; Mary, Betty Denton; Joseph, Paul Manley; First Wise Man, Bill Millet; Second Wise Man, Calvin Oliveira; Third Wise Man, Herbert Perry; The Woman, Dorothy Escobar; Captain, Richard Munger; First Soldier, Robert McDavid; Second Soldier, Lester Amaral; Rabbi, John Ferrante; First Rabbi, Jim Wasley; Second Rabbi, Fred Joyce; Third Rabbi, Louis Havey; Stranger, Law¬ rence Moise; The Girl, Betty Jane Steinhoff. Miss Antoinette Botelho was assisted in directing the Pageant by Miss Sibyl Botelho, Miss Jean Wilson, and Mr. Thornburg. « 37 � 1. Skating Trio. 2. Four Dwarfs. 3. Interlude. 4 . Evils of Swing, 5.

It was presented on February 24 and 25 and added another success to the list of Washington Union High School performances. The gay Top Hatters doing a smart tap routine to the singing of Ilene Witten- meyer opened the first act. This was followed by a novel dance entitled, Con¬ trast, in which girls in large hoop skirts entered dancing the minuet, later to sur¬ prise the audience by quickly changing themselves to tap-dancing pickaninnies. Walt Disney ' s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was revived with Beatrice Matzke in the role of Snow White, and Steve Straub as the charming young prince who rescued her. A bit of New York ' s famous Harlem was brought to our stage with the presenta¬ tion of the Harlem Rhapsody, composed of colored girls who trucked and pecked to a swingy Harlem tune. In the skit, If Men Played Cards as Women Do, John Ferrante, Arch Sparrowe, George Bonde, and Tom Estudillo laughed at women ' s card games. This little act was well received by the audience. With hula skirts, a tropical song by Harriet De Leon, and native girls dancing, a flavor of tropical enchantment was added. A ridiculous comedy, Dr. Fo o and Company, was followed by the graceful, swaying movements of the skaters, Margie Trenouth, June Stannard, and Lillian Jorgensen, who swirled rhythmically to a waltz. A selection by the Girls ' Orches¬ tra closed the first act. Gay singing and whooping of a happy group of cowboys greeted the audience as the second curtain opened. They entertained with a harmonica chorus, a Texas yodeling song by Robert Rogers, a bazooka solo by Gloria Dycus, an accordion duet by Gertrude and Ben Mozzetti, and two colorful Spanish dancers Antonia Espinosa and Frank Cordoba doing the Jarabe Tapatio. The second act was concluded with the dancing of The Old Gray Mare by Elaine Justus and Madeline Perry. The graceful toe dancing of June Stannard was followed by several selections by Bob Groat, our night watchman, whose deft fingers played the piano in one of his own compositions. The Girls ' Drill Team an d the Tap Dancers, Florence May and Clarice Niemeth, also provided entertainment. The Follies, a chorus of boys dressed in feminine costumes, brought a tumult of laughter and applause with their singing and dancing. A successful Vodvil closed with the beautiful scene of Interlude in which Lorraine Peterson and Paul Manley sang a duet while the chorus danced. Over one hundred and fifty students cooperated with willing teachers to make the Vodvil of 1938 a success. 39 OPERETTA ' The Gypsy Rover ' a romantic musical comedy, was presented by the students, under the direction of Miss A. Botelho and Mr. Thornburg, on Thursday evening, April 7. Sir Gilbert Howe of England, played by Paul Manley, is stolen when an infant by his nurse, Meg, played by Jean Rogers. She marries a gypsy and Sir Gilbert, nicknamed Rob, grows to manhood believing his captors to be his parents. He is called the Gypsy Rover. One day while riding with her fiance Lord Craven, portrayed by Tom McWhirter, Lady Constance Martindale, played by Lorraine Peterson, becomes lost in the woods. She wanders into the gypsy camp where she and Rob meet and fall in love. The two plan to elope but they are overheard by Lord Craven, and Rob is thrown into prison from where he later escapes. Rob ' s former nurse and foster mother proves his identity, and enables him to acquire his rightful estates. Lady Constance remains true to her love for Rob and on his return to England he woos and wins her for his wife. The Chorus and the Boys ' Glee Club combined to furnish the musical back¬ ground. THE SENIOR PLAY This year the Senior Class chose Brewster ' s Millions as their ploy because of the large number of characters used as well as for the hilarious situations in the play itself.

This is a group of ambitious boys with the desire and will to work. They receive no glory or honor and no publicity during productions. They are the men behind the scenes. No spotlight shines on them. Instead, they shine the spotlight on others. Yet, in spite of this, a great number of boys are eager to come out for this work which they do simply for their own satisfaction. They studied hard and long to learn the large number of terms connected with the stage. It took them hours of pati¬ ence to learn which light should be used and which shouldn ' t. They took care of all stage settings, changed them when necessary, took care of the curtain, and made all necessary sound effects for all of the plays. Their job was to see that each production went off smoothly, and they certainly made a success of it. The Crew is made up of lohn Ferrante, Robert Zwissig, Billy Millet, Lester Amaral, Howard Stinhilver, Donald Dias, Sidney Gaunt, Bud Mello, and George Mathiesen. In addition, six new members who will work on next year ' s produc¬ tions have joined the group. MAKE-UP CLUB Under the direction of Miss Van Vorhis, the Make-Up Club of 1937-38 has proved to be a success. It consisted of nineteen girls who have worked hard for the suc¬ cess of each play produced by the school. Before the opening night of any pro¬ duction, they held two meetings to learn the exact make-up each person required. The girls were divided into groups, which concentrated on applying a particular cosmetic. Each girl entered the group whose line of work interested her most. In addition this year they have studied the application of beards. There has never been such a large number of enthusiastic girls in the club before, and a great deal of credit is due them. Members of the Make-Up Club are: Mary Cortez, Mary Sumaquero, Olga Gronley, Karen Gronley, Eleanor George, Gloria Dycus, Mildred Andrade, Norma King, Dora Gastelum, Margaret McNally, Barbara Williams, Sophia Nickas, Edna Leal, Elizabeth Lindsay, Peggy Wasley, Margaret Schelbert, Doro¬ thy Rose, Dolores Sanchez. 41 HAIL TO OLD WASHINGTON Here we come with a toast and song To the school that we love so well. We love its spacious halls and grounds, Its memories make us thrill; But our fondest hopes when years have run Will be of teams and vict ' ries won I Each man a loyal son! Hail to Old Washington! Chorus Washington Union High our hats are off to you! Clean, fair players, fighters through and through; WeTl cheer for every man, weTl root for every stand That ' s made for Washington! Rah! Rah! Rah! Watch our team go tearing down the field! Men of iron whose strength will never yield. Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail to old Washington! «42 Kcmok-. COACHES’ PAGE MISS DU COTY and there is some- Senior Girls: It has come—this day to which you ' ve been looking forward and for which you ' ve been working for four years, this day when you step forth from the high school chapter of your life into bigger and better fields to conquer. For some, the conquest will come easily, others of you will have to work hard and fight for your place. Remem¬ ber, there is a place in the scheme of things for each of you thing splendid about the person who, win or lose, hangs on and fights every inch of the way. The very best of luck to each of you. —Maxine L. Du Coty. Seniors: While working with you and in talking with you from time to time I have sensed in many of you an attitude of pessimism concerning your gradua¬ tion. Instead of looking forward to taking your place in society many of you are dreading it. You have an idea that society has no place for you—that others have already monopolized all of the opportunities. This is a myth which is being exploded thousands of times each day. Don ' t let it be said that you have tasted the bitterness of defeat before you have so much as made the effort. With such an attitude you are licked before you begin. Remember that every obstacle, no matter how small, always appears insur¬ mountable to the novice. Discipline yourself to take a crack at them and you will be surprised how true the saying the bigger they are the harder they fall is in life as well as in sports. We have won as often as we have because you fellows had more courage, drive and per¬ sistence than your opponents. On your way, seniors, and good luck! —Alvin Morse. Seniors: It seems as though just day before yesterday you were juniors; yesterday, seniors, and now you are leaving. Yet if we think back over those days, many things really have happened. There have been games, plays, vodvils, and the like—great times these. But now you leave to take part in that greater game, that greater play called life. Go to it guys and gals ; it is not as tough as it sounds. They tell us there is plenty of hard work. This is true, but right along with it are two little words called fun and happiness. Goodbye and good luck, seniors! —Judson Taylor. E. Luna, C. Solon, N. Ahm, E. Gaunt, R. Inouye, N, Luna, P. Rivers, J. Pine, S. Gaunt, F. Mellow, Y. Kakimoto. FOOTBALL Another championship is brought to Washington High! The Husker Varsity, entering the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League for the first time, displayed an excellent brand of football to win the S. C. V. A. L. championship. In their first encounter in the S. C. V. A. L. the Huskers met some great competition, and every game was won only through the aggressive and indomitable spirit of teamwork and clean hard fighting. The 1937 season was outstanding in view of the fact that the team not only won the championship, but also went through the season undefeated and scored 128 points to their opponents ' 30 points. To Coach Taylor, whose sincere efforts in teaching the boys the fundamentals and spirit of fair play, good sportsmanship, and clean, hard fighting should go much credit for the successful team. Elwin Gaunt, our fighting tackle; Julius Pine, our dynamite center; and Paul Rivers, our plunging fullback, were picked on the first string All Star Team of the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League. Elwin Gaunt ' s, Cy Solon ' s, and Gale Sheedy ' s excellent line playing and Don Costa ' s, Ritchie Inouye ' s and Yoshio Kakimoto ' s outstanding backfield work, which played on important part in the championship team, will be missed next year, since they will be lost through graduation. However, next year ' s hopes are bright, since such veteran players as Paul Rivers, Norman Ahm, Norman Rogers, Pat Luna, Frank Mellow, Sidney Gaunt, Julius Pine, Albert Silva, Mervin Boyce, Lawrence Leal, Paul Manley, and Phillip Brazil are returning. « 46 � TOP ROW: J.

This year instead of having a team, Washington had a second team which ployed Reserve Games with teams composed of those who were not able to make the Varsity Regulars. The Reserves played three games and won one. This team is important to our football squad because it consists of players which will make up our future varsity teams. Many promising finds were made this year, and the lower classmen were given a chance to obtain experience.

Lack of experience was a barrier in this year ' s Varsity squad, but with the same Varsity first string members coming back next year, hopes are bright for a very successful season. Coach Morse worked hard this season in developing a team for next year and deserves lasting credit for his fine work. The B team, under the excellent tutorship of Coach Taylor, fought hard winning four and losing four games. With many up a nd coming lower classmen we can look forward to a fine season next year. Senior players on the Varsity and B squads whose services will be lost are D. Roraback, J. Azeveda, N. Rocha, J. Berchem, L. Naia, H. Baba, B. Foster, and J. Parry. •CLASS A BASKETBALL- STANDING: K.

L. championship. This year ' s team, which was largely an ironman team, since only five players saw much action, was composed of Tom Ikeda, Tom McWhirter, George Ushi- jima, Kazuei Tate, and Richard Marriott. The first D team in Washington Union High School history finished a good season winning 6 of their 12 games, and losing by very close margins.

Under the fine coaching of Mr. Rees, a strong team was developed from enthusiastic players. The first three places were held by James Emerson, Peter Stark, and John Ziegler. The first doubles team consisted of Keith and Tom Whipple, and the second doubles team of Louis Havey and George Bonde. Alternates on the regular squad includes Richard Marriott, George Emerson, John Ferrante, and Arch Sparrow.

C. V. A. L., and finished a fairly successful season by winning three league games and losing four. With a well balanced squad, the Washingtonians went on to win the first three league games by large margins. The last four league games were lost only by a margin of one or two runs. In a number of practice games, our team defeated the San Jose State Frosh, Salinas High School, San Leandro, and Livermore. The Huskers won a total of seven games, lost five, and tied one. Again we must take off our hats to Coach Taylor who worked hard to develop a good team and to continue our motto of hard play and good sportsmanship. This year we lose many fine players which include: Shorty Thompson, our ace pitcher; S. Daviner, second baseman; Y. Kakimoto, shortstop; L. Naia, out¬ fielder; E. Gaunt, infielder; B. Foster, outfielder; and E. Luna, second baseman. Next year, with our Varsity lettermen, P. Rivers, J. Pine, L. Bettencourt, P. Pagan, P. Luna, W. Silva, T. Ortez and other promising players coming back from the B team, we can look forward to another successful season.

They had a very successful season, winning five games and losing one. The B team ' s main competition consisted in games with local elementary schools. They also had two games with San Jose Technical High School B team, winning one by a score of 7 to 0 and losing one by a score of 11 to 7. With the assistance of Coach Saunders and Coach Taylor the boys were able to learn the fundamentals of play and sportsmanship. Assistant Athletic Man¬ ager Joe Silva coached the boys in the last games. The B ' s had an exceptionally large turnout throughout the season ending with twenty players.

TRACK CLASS A AND CLASS D TRACK The Husker Varsity and D Team track teams started the season surprisingly well by winning a three-way meet with Mountain View and Fremont by over¬ whelming scores. This year the tracksters were scheduled to meet Gilroy, Moun¬ tain View, Fremont, Campbell, Santa Clara, and Los Gatos. The annual big meet was scheduled for June 3 at Los Gatos. In the track events were N. Rocha, C. Damico, P. Manley, R. Reedy, and J. Andrade. In the field events N. Ahm, P. Stark, I. Azevada, and N. Rocha took honors. The formation of the D team in the S. C. V. A. L. brought out an enthusiastic bunch of young trackmen who trained hard and ambitiously to develop a very strong lightweight team. «56 CLASS B AND CLASS C TRACK In entering the S. C. V. A. L. the Washington track team met some strong com¬ petition, especially in the lightweight division. The B and C teams, although handicapped by a lack of members, went on to make a good showing by giving the opposing team many hard fights. The league called for competition with Gilroy, Los Gatos, Santa Clara, Live Oak, Campbell, Fremont, and Mountain View. The 120 ' s and 130 ' s had Uchiyama, Poole, Bier, Inouye, Gomes, and McWhir- ter in the hurdles and sprints, and Lawrence, Ushijima, Rivers, Alameda, and Baba in the field events. The S. C. V. A. L.

The major sports calendar started out with speedball for which there was a grand turn-out. Speedball seems to take especially with the girls, because it more nearly parallels football than any other game in which the girls participate. The inter-class tournament took place in November with enthusiastic competition between third and fourth periods. In a hard fought final game, the third period players were victorious with a score of 4 to 1. Each class team was captained by a girl elected by the popular vote of her class and assisted by a manager chosen in the same manner. The third period captain and manager were Margaret Trenouth and Kiyo Kato. Basketball held the center of the stage next, and as usual for basketball, interest was at its peak. Because of the enthusiasm for the sport, the season ran longer than any other and the teams were at their best when the interclass tourna¬ ment was played early in March. The third and fourth periods again came through to face each other in the final game and again the third period won with the score of 35 to 14. The skill and fine team work of the third period players were outstanding—totaling a score of 73 points against a collective score of 40 for their opponents. The leaders who led the team to victory were Kiyo Kato, captain, and Suzu Shimizu, manager. Volleyball season brought out many new participants in addition to the regulars. The game calls for good team work and finesse and appeals to those who are not interested in team games of the more strenuous type. To finish out the major sports schedule, the girls divided their time between baseball and hockey—the former, a time proven favorite with many students, and the latter comparatively new to most of the girls. Tennis, which is played the whole year, was completed with a ladder tour¬ nament in May. Many fine tennis players have developed during this year of practice. Badminton, introduced in sample portions into class work for the first time this year, was enthusiastically received and will take its place as a regularly scheduled sport next year. According to Miss Du Coty, this year has set a new high record for girls ' participation in sports—a new record that the graduating Seniors can be proud to leave behind, and the other classes can be proud to carry on. « 59 2 JOKES Joe—How did you make your neighbor keep his hens in his own yard?
