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 »

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 »
