mnn class The most important event of the Freshman Class was the Valentine Dance which was held on Friday evening, February 3, 1939. With the Valentine Day theme, the big gymnasium was colorfully decorated with large red and white valentine hearts. Because of the enthusiastic cooperation of all the students their first candy sale at the Gilroy football game was a great success as well as their second candy sale the first night of the Student Body Play at which homemade candy was sold. The school looks forward to the part that the members of the Freshman Class will take in all of the activities next year.

THE FRESH At the beginning of every school term a new and larger class enters the gates of Washington Union High, with a strong desire to achieve a higher education. At first It seems difficult for the freshmen to adjust themselves to their new environment, but in a few weeks many of them are participating in the school activities, and so it was with the class of 1942. As Is the tradition every year, the freshmen were Initiated by the seniors. Initiation Day Is the dread of every Freshman Class, but It turned out to be a day of great fun. Every freshman came to school In short dresses or short trousers with big bows and dolls. With faces painted they paraded through the halls In the morning and In the afternoon presented a fine assembly of songs, dances, and recitations to the student body. Many students have taken part In the dramatic, journalistic, scholastic, and athletic activities of the school. A large group of freshmen turned out for the Student Body Play and displayed great talent In the Christmas Pageant, Freshman Assembly, and the Vodvil. Also many of the girls and boys went out for the various sports where they showed both good sportsmanship and fine ability. These can be looked upon as future stars. The freshmen showed that they also have fine scholastic ability by having seven members in the California Scholarship Federation, and more hope to join next year.
