Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1940 volume:

Agriculture—The basis of man’s existence is the world’s largest occupation. In our 1940 Washingtonian, we, of the annual staff, have tried to bring you a small picture of this, the world’s greatest industry, which is also the major occu¬ pation of our community, together with the life and activ¬ ities of our school. A D M I N I S T R t I 51 I i i I I r ! I Beautifying our community with !: its masses of delicate white flowers, |i the cherry tree blooms in the very early spring with all the beauty that I only nature herself can put forth. y These beautiful blossoms in the S; course of a few months turn into fruit, which supplies our valley with I one of its major industries. A T I O N BOARD OF TRUSTEES The continuous improvement of the school is accredited to the time and thought given by the Board of Trustees. Mr. Over acker, the presi¬ dent; Mr. Harrold, the clerk; Mr. Logan and Mr. Oliveira, who comprise the finance committee, and Mr. Scott, who is the representative of the Soft Ball League, have throughout the year shown their loyal support and in¬ terest. This year many improvements have been made in our school plant. The old cafeteria has been turned into a very up to date art building with excellent lighting and plenty of working space. The remodeling of the music building has been completed; new, permanent bleachers have been built on the football field. In addition to these very apparent improve¬ ments, the walks between the building have been covered, and the school grounds resurfaced, and a new safety driveway constructed. The outsides of the buildings have also been painted. The Agriculture Department is especially grateful to the Board for the addition this year of a Babcock milk-testing machine, and for the improved lighting in the shops. Such facilities enable the future farmers to carry on their work more scientifically. For the various improvements mentioned as well as for the constant help and co-operation of the Board on all matters throughout the year, we wish to express our sincere gratitude. MR. LOGAN MR. OLIVEIRA MR. OVERACKER MR. SCOTT MR. HARROLD J. V. GOOLD Vice-Principal ADMINISTRATION Through the efforts and supervision of our administrative force another successful year has been completed. Our principal, Mr. Rathbone, has constantly worked at a gradual en¬ largement program to meet the needs of a rapidly growing school. Our vice-principal and dean of boys, Mr. Goold, and our dean of girls. Miss Botelho, have always been ready to help with students’ problems and to give friendly, experienced advice. Miss Knoles, the director of curriculum, plans the schedule of courses each year and the four class counselors help students with their individual programs. This year a Forum Council was started that met once a month in the cafeteria for dinner and informal discussion. These meetings were enjoyed by the faculty and any other community members who wished to attend. We of the Senior Class bid farewell to our administration and extend our thanks for our many happy days at Washington.

This June marks the ninth year of successful student leadership in our school. The duties of the Council are many and varied in nature. The year’s budget is carefully planned by the Council at the beginning of each school year. Committees are selected to plan a variety of educational and humor¬ ous assemblies. The sale of student body cards at the beginning of the year is also one of the many important functions of the group. The Student Council also has its parties and picnics. This year an ice- skating party was held in Oakland, and the social year for the Council ended with the especially enjoyable annual Spring picnic. To an excellent group of workers during this very outstanding year we most heartily say, We thank you.” Upper row: Adviser, Mr. Rathbone; Vice-President, Kazuei Tate; President, Betty Denton; Treasurer, William Gould; Secretary, Edna Leal; Freshmen Representative, Inez Fong; Sophomore Representative, Patricia Rose; Senior Representative, Albert Silva; Junior Representative, Laura Lee Zwissig.

CLASS Swaying gently in the summer breezes, grain is a sight to behold on the foothills of our valley. During the past few years grain has slowly been pushed onto the foothills to make room for other crops that re¬ quire the very fertile soil of our com¬ munity. SENIORS OF 1940 With the completion of four memorable years at Washington Union High School, the Senior Class looks back over the events which have made this year espe¬ cially enjoyable. Among them is the Song and Yell Contest,” which was won by the Senior Class. The class also sponsored four senior nights, two of them skating parties, given on October 25 and March 25. The third and fourth were class parties, held in the gymnasium in November and April. Another enjoyable activity was the senior play, What a Life,” presented May 25 and featuring the character of Henry Aldrich. The class also acted as host to the eighth grade pupils of the township on our annual Eighth Grade Day.

As is the usual custom, seniors were excused from their classes May 27 and went to Linda Vista Park for their sneak day. The class also attended the alumni dinner in the cafeteria April 18. The senior breakfast was served June 11, 1940, in our new cafeteria. This was followed by rehearsal for graduation. In the afternoon the seniors gave their last assembly program, where the usual ceremony of the reseating of the lower classes took place. The Class of 1940 graduated with a total of 137. Commencement exercises were held on the foot¬ ball field, June 13, at 8:30 in the evening, and this class was the first to graduate in caps and gowns. The Senior Ball, held on June 14, ended the Senior Week activities.

Vice-President THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Commencing with the decoration of the halls, au¬ ditorium, and the entrance to the main building for the Christmas season, the Sophomore Class has had a great part in the activities of the school. The class was the sponsor of the Christmas formal, one of the three formal dances held during the school term. Also through the work of the sophomores, the student body was able to enjoy the many varied and educational exhibits displayed in the museum case in the upstairs hall. In addition to their social successes, the sopho¬ mores have brought honor to themselves by consist¬ ently placing high scholastically.

The class began its participation in the student body program on Septem¬ ber 22 by presenting an assembly immediately follow¬ ing the initiation rites. On January 12 the freshmen gave their first dance, a sport dance, with nursery rhymes serving as an appropriate theme. The school was dependent on the Freshman Class for the excellent care of the trophy case in the main hall during the year.

Phyllis Owen and Lorrayne Peterson are entertaining the seniors on Senior Night. The next group of girls is Mitsuko Sakata, Fusako Sakata, Elaine Nemoto, Ikuko Toda, and Uki Hanamoto. Those three girls are Geraldine Goularte, Leona Holden, and Doris Alvaraz, and in the background we find Lionel Rocha. Entering the school is Dorothy Bettencourt, and next we catch Fred West, playing ping pong. The two studious girls are Helen Griffen and Betty Corey. Three upper classmen, Linda Jane Hellwig, Julianne McDonald, and Betty Murphy are strollers, while on the right are Reuben Ramos and Evelyn Bettencourt. The quartette is Julianne Leonis, June Roderick, Carmen Cortez, and Josephine Sanchez. CLASSES On the top row is Pat Rose. She looks as if she sees something very in¬ teresting. We wonder what or whom she sees. Barbara Critchfield and John Ferrante seem to be quite happy, judging by their smiles. Resting in front of the school we find Joseph Amaral, Frank Barrett, and Mervin Mattos. Isabel Acevedo and Al Silva seem to be hearing something very interesting in one of their classes. As usual Bernice Costa, Martina Delgado, and Alice Navas were caught coming out of the gym, while Flemina Silva and Hazel Garcia were certainly enjoying their ice cream. The studious senior sitting in front of the school is Dorothy Silva, and the four freshmen boys are Nick Reina, Norbert George, Alfred Lebon, and John Reina. During the noon hour we find Pat Costa and Virgil Young chatting. On the gently rolling hills of the Mission San Jose District we find the only grapes grown in our commu¬ nity. Grapes paint a picturesque set¬ ting, which reminds us of the Califor¬ nia of by-gone days, and adds much beauty to the foothills of Washington Township. Standing: V. DeLuce, D. Ornellas, M.

SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY Good scholarship is a valuable and necessary asset to any school, and our society, which is affiliated with the California Scholarship Federation, shows that our school is not lacking in this element. All students who have obtained the necessary ten points in solid subjects are eligible for mem¬ bership. The activities of the year included attendance at a convention held on the Fair Grounds on October 14; a pot-luck dinner given on the occasion of the semi-annual initiation on March 27; and a novel assembly presented on April 12, 1940.

Entrance into this or¬ ganization can be gained only after playing in games and thus winning the required number of points. This year’s program included the usual social activities of parties and dances and in addition the decoration of the club room with athletic pic¬ tures.

GIRLS’ “W ” CLUB Through regular participation in inter-class games, a girl may become a member of the Girls’ W” Club. This year the required number of points to obtain a block was increased from 600 to 700 because of the addition of another major sport to the girls’ athletic program. This year thirty-one girls were members of the club. W” Club Day, held every Friday, was put into effect this year. On this day all members are required to wear their blocks, and those failing to do so are penalized five cents.

FUTURE FARMERS During the past year the Washington Chapter of the Future Farmers of America, with a membership of seventy-seven, has carried out a very successful program of work. The outstanding activities of the year in¬ cluded showing, projects, night meetings, a skating party, a Future Farm¬ ers’ Dance, and essay and public speaking contests. The Future Farmers carry on their activities not only during school, but also during the Summer. Showing their projects at the Pleasanton and Antioch Fairs last Summer the boys won over 100 ribbons and $300 in prizes. Last Fall five boys from our chapter attended Camp Lillard, the Future Farmers’ State Fair Camp. From there they visited the Fair and were present at the judging of the livestock. The boys attending were Joe Schelbert, George Andrade, Richard Laudenslager, James Lauden¬ slager, and Bill Borba. During the past year the boys have invested over $500 in purebred live¬ stock for animal projects. In crop projects sixty-six acres were planted to JOE SCHELBERT WILLIAM BORBA such crops as peas, tomatoes, lettuce, corn, and grains. All projects had very good results, and much information was gained by all who partici¬ pated. Our chapter was host to the entire student body at our annual dance, given on November 17, and at our assembly program, which took place on December 8. This assembly was a Hobby Lobby Program with Norman Rogers acting as master of ceremonies. Talent taken from the whole school included everything from stamp collecting to model airplanes. On March 8 this chapter had the honor of entertaining the Livermore Chapter at a night meeting, where the initiation of the Green Hands” into the Future Farmers’ organization took place. John Ura won both the sectional and regional Future Farmer Public Speaking Contests and placed fourth in the state finals held at Fresno, in February. John spoke on quick frozen” foods. The winning of the con¬ test represented a real accomplishment. On Friday, February 2, the Future Farmers presented a half hour radio program over Radio Station KGO and the Blue Network of the National Broadcasting Company. Those participating were Norman Rogers, Mer- vin Telles, Anthony Silva, and Mr. Clevenger. This very successful year was brought to a close under the leadership of the following officers: president, Anthony Pine; vice-president, Joe Bet¬ tencourt; secretary, John Ura; treasurer, Mervin Telles; reporter, Law¬ rence Leal; advisers, Mr. Clevenger and Mr. Elsea. CLUB ACTIVITIES Several new clubs have been started at Washington this year and have already given evidence of their popularity among the students. One of the most active of these organizations is the HOMEMAKING CLUB, which has been divided into two groups to take care of the varied interests of the members. Margaret Schelbert and Dorothy Jones were elected presidents for 1940. The club is affiliated with the National Homemaking Association. The members have carried on correspondence with girls in other schools, and magazines in the East have printed their pictures. They also met with other clubs of the area at Mills College, March 30, to attend Student Club Day. The Homemaking Club will have a more varied pro¬ gram next year, and all girls of the school will be welcome as members. The HIKING CLUB, organized last year, has continued its activities with great enthusiasm. With Cleo Cooper as its leader and Miss Fournier as its adviser, the club took a trip to Big Basin, hiked to various parts of the country when the rainy season was over, went on picnics, and all-in-all had a very enjoyable year. Any girl who is interested in hiking may join this club. Another club formed this year, under the direction of Miss Botelho and Miss Nold, is the ART CLUB, which was organized for the purpose of giving those interested in art, time to do special projects. The Art Club has furnished the stage, gymnasium, and cafeteria with many decorations, and its greatest asset is the central location of the art room, within easy reach of all these places. The officers for the year were: Margaret Escobar, president; Frances Hart, vice-president, and Margaret Kerns, secretary. The HOOT OWLS spent a very enjoyable year under the supervision of their adviser, Mr. Gravestock. The officers for the year were: Edna Leal, president; Peggy W asley, vice-president; John Soito, parliamentarian. The purpose of this club is to develop the speaking abilities of the students and to give practice in extemporaneous speaking, not to develop a formal debate technique. For this reason a considerable part of the Hoot Owl meetings consisted of impromptu and panel discussions, dealing with school, current, and civic questions, and the members entered various contests to match their skills against those of students of other schools. Under the leadership of its president, Tom Bunting, and its adviser. Miss Nold, the newly founded NATURALISTS’ CLUB has undertaken several projects in following the work of Mother Nature. They have done many things of interest to naturalists, such as visiting an observatory, ex¬ hibiting wildflowers, redecorating the fish pond, and taking various field trips. The work of the CAMERA CLUB, which was organized last year, has been continued by this year’s members. The officers were: president, John Ura; secretary, Vermilda DeLuce. Miss Van Winkle was the adviser. The object of the club is to promote a greater interest in photography with spe¬ cial emphasis in this year’s program on learning to develop and print negatives. Those in the school who are interested in writing have not organized a formal club, but each Spring they publish the Inkling, Washington’s literary magazine. It is composed of students’ original stories, essays, short sketches, and poems. Miss Knoles, who directs the publication, sets aside a special day (known as Inkling Day) for English classes to do their writ¬ ing. The result is an excellent group of contributions, the best of which are chosen for the Inkling. The printing is done by the printing students under the direction of Mr. Kibby. Aunt Emma Sees It Through,” a rollicking farce, was given by the students on Friday, November 10, 1939. Aunt Emma was a typical old maid who wouldn’t allow a man in the house. Her two nieces, Louise and Kathryn, lived with her, and fearing they would become old maids, advertised for husbands. Three young men arrived, much to the surprise of Aunt Emma. As an experiment she put them to work, causing a riot of fun and laughter. Aunt Emma herself later decided to become a young flapper and outdid her nieces. THE CAST Aunt Emma-Margaret Escobar Louise-Laura Lee Zwissig Kathryn- Joy Brown Jack Norris_Virgil Young Dick Christianson_Richard Marriott Bud Gates-Roy Mathiesen Joe Sparks-Eugene Corriea STUDENT BODY PLAY Oriental Dolls Skeletons Master of Ceremonies and Duet Martha Russians Indians Classroom Secretaries Accordions VOD VIL VODVIL Color, gayety, and festive music enchanted the numerous passengers aboard the S.S. Washington en route to Mexico. This served as the setting for the very successful Vodvil held February 1 and 2. In the Prologue, Joe Lewis, master of ceremonies who introduced the various acts, met Lorrayne Peterson and The Secretaries.” A messenger later brought them a telegram inviting them to Walt Disney’s Studios. The first act introduced Mickey and Minnie Mouse, who presented The Rag Doll,” Wooden Soldiers,” and a Toe Dance,” after which Mickey and Minnie danced. Following a Baby Doll’s Solo” was a very graceful Doll Dance” and a Fairy Tale Fantasy.” A weird performance of the Skeletons” closed the first act. Back on board ship in the second act we found The Answer Is Love,” A Sailor Tap,” Carlotta,” Martha,” Little Red Fox,” Tumblers,” Oriental Dolls,” the Russians,” Indian Dance,” and Accordion Chorus.” A colorful market scene was the setting for the third act, which featured the String Quartette,” Spanish Songs,” the Toro Dance,” Chilena Dance,” and the humorous Up and Down Quartette.” The Spanish Group Dance” was exciting, as were the three Spanish dances given by Josephine and Frank Cordoba. Bud’s Dream Caravan,” our school jazz orchestra, furnished the music for the entire production. This year’s Vodvil ran smoothly under the general direction of Miss Botelho. The variety of talent and acts, together with new lighting effects, made 1940’s Vodvil the great success that it was. Spanish Dancers Cinderella’s Fantasy Toe Dancer Little Red Fox Animal Crackers Mickey and Minnie Mouse Sibone CHRISTMAS PAGEANT The whole school unites its efforts to make the Christmas Pageant the most beautiful production of the year. This year we presented ' ' Christmas in an American Home” in two performances on Sunday, December 17. The setting was a typical American home at Christmas time where the father, played by Mr. Rees, read his family a bedtime story of the Christ child. The two children, Andrew Lindsay and Winifred Santos, showed their interest by asking questions to find out the real meaning of Christmas. Their mother, Mildred Andrade, was sewing by the fireside, and a lovely tree held many beautiful presents. As the father read, beau¬ tiful tableaus appeared in the background to bring the story to life. The Madonna was played by Betty Denton; Joseph, by Joseph Amaral; the Angel, by Lorrayne Peterson; the Three Wise Men, by Roland Adams, Roy Mathiesen, and Eugene Corriea; and the Red Cross Nurse by Mary Harrold. A Verse Speaking Choir recited the Psalms. A group of carolers, singing traditional Christmas songs, and the music of the Hammond organ, played by Mr. Thornburg, added to the beauty of the tableaus. The production was presented under the direction of Miss Botelho, Miss Kennedy, Miss Stockholm, and Mr. Thornburg. OPERETTA ' ' Don Alonso’s Treasure” was presented by the Student Body of Wash¬ ington Union High School, Thursday evening, March 14, 1940. The operetta takes place in Spain where Don Diego and his wife seem to be financially ruined, their only hope that Ajax Wollop, an American millionaire who comes to Spain with his wife and daughter Elaine, can find the buried treasure. They are followed by Billy McNoodle who is in love with Elaine and is disliked by her father. The treasure is found with the help of Billy who finally wins Elaine. Both families are left with a great deal of wealth, and Don Diego’s home is saved.

The bus makes a nice background. On the side steps of the cafeteria our candid camera man was successful in getting that picture of Mrs. Rose and Mrs. Rogers. Ther e in the auditorium Bud Amaral and his Dream Caravan are ready to play for us. The members include Herbert Dutra, Winifred Santos, Robert Rogers, Mervin Mattos, Bud Amaral, Jack Dutra, Pat Costa, Gene Bettencourt, Joe Lewis, Evelyn Bettencourt, and Ben Moz- zetti. The fifth period class in the sewing room is very busy with ma¬ chines, patterns, and materials. That is John Ferrante in the cafeteria kitchen. He seems to be more than busy with those hamburgers. In the last picture our camera man caught the verse speaking choir at rehearsal. ACTIVITIES Now we follow that candid camera man into the various classes. Our first stop is in the typing room. Here we find Mary Hermoso, Angie Pereira, Alice Nitta, Calvin Oliveira, and Mereno Quartaroli busy at their typewriters. Moving into the cafeteria, we see Mary Harrold, ready to serve John Machado and many others. The next stop of the candid camera man is the Consumer Education Class. Robert Jackson, Cora Burgess, and Toshiye Ishimoto are next seen registering for the new year. Traveling to the new art building, we see Patricia Rose posing, while Bernice Rose, Lucille Greenfield, Grace Maciel, and Elaine Nemoto do the sketching. In the last picture is Mr. Mette, demonstrating to one of his shop classes as the camera man appears. To keep the people of the large cities as well as those of our own community supplied with food the farmers of our valley are busy throughout the year with a variety of truck crops. Cauliflower, spin¬ ach, tomatoes, corn, peas, and also sugar beets are the major crops that are raised.

C” men returning next year include M. Nunes, T. Parry, H. Ushijima, L. Rogers, B. Rogers, and R. Witherly. FIRST TEAM BASEBALL The varsity baseball team had a fair season. In spite of tough opposi¬ tion the team, coached by Mr. Brady, won about half of the games played.

SECOND TEAM BASEBALL The Husker ' ' B’s ’ under the supervision of Warren Silva, completed their season with one tie and five wins. The B’s” played against the teams of the various grammar schools and enjoyed a schedule of six games. This team serves two important functions. It gives lower classmen an opportunity to participate in interscholastic athletics and a chance to work up later to the varsity teams. Some of the promising players on the squad who have good prospects of winning a place on the varsity next year are Bill Pine, Davis Arribas, Charlie Martin, Barney Bragg, and Rufus Lebon. Other outstanding members of the B team were Alfred Rebello, Donald Lemas, Travis Dun- gan. Jack Silva, and Herman August.

GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Under the guidance of Miss Shumway and Miss Griffin, our two new physical education teachers, the past year was filled with an unusually varied and enjoyable selection of sports. Topping the list was speedball, which was greeted with great enthusiasm by all the girls. At the end of the season the morning and afternoon classes each had their own Round-Robin Tournament to determine the winners. Fourth period emerged victorious for the morning classes, while the seventh period captured the banner for the afternoon. In the final play-off. Cap¬ tain Phyllis Owen’s fourth period girls defeated the seventh period players in a hard fought battle and became undisputed champions. Hockey was then introduced to the girls. This was the first time in several years that the sport was included in the athletic program, and judging by its reception, it is almost a certainty that it will be taken up again next year. To further the interest in the game, a hockey playday was arranged with Hayward, and we gained much skill playing with the more experienced Hayward girls. Also, later in the season, our girls had the good fortune to be shown the correct technique of hockey playing by Miss Appleby, who has instructed at several universities, and is considered one of the foremost authorities on the game. Winter and the rainy season automatically culminated the hockey season. CAPTAINS AND MANAGERS Upper row: M. Sakata, H. Guardanapo, E. Lezand, M. Sanchez, H. Cardinez, W. Martin, P. Owen, C.

This year, instead of having only one team from each class play for honors, as was the custom, several teams were selected from each class, thereby presenting more oppo- tunities to girls who otherwise would be unable to place on their class team. Each group chose its own captain and manager and an appropriate name by which it could be identified. From Spring until the end of the term, baseball and volleyball were alternately enjoyed; and on several occasions the gym classes were con¬ verted into dancing classes, and the girls, gracefully or otherwise, were acquainted with polkas and other quaint folk dances. For girls who were unable or had no desire to participate in the major sports, more individual games such as tennis, ping-pong, and badminton were offered. After the girls were instructed in the correct form of play¬ ing and had suflScient practice, a ladder was provided for each of the games to select the top-ranking players. Much credit for the outstanding success of the year can be attributed to Athletic Manager Phyllis Owen, and our new teachers. Miss Shumway and Miss Griffin, who made every effort possible to make physical education a pleasure for all the girls. WINNING TEAMS Upper row: A. Lezand, H. Guardanapo, M. Gato, Y. Sir.ciair, P.

SPORTS The variety of sports played at Washington this year kept the candid camera man on his toes securing many clever and original shots. On the top row we find Coach Taylor viewing the Huskers at one of the games. Next is Drum Majorette Winifred Santos leading the American Legion Drum Corps. Norman Rogers, official water boy of the season, pauses a moment with the first aid kit. Marian Je rgentz seems in doubt as to the outcome of her tennis game, and Coach Brady is caught in a pensive mood. A player on the Husker team appears to be ready to run, but has to dodge the opposing team. The drill team forms the W”, one of their many formations, for the camera man; while Tom McWhirter and James Laudenslager decorate the goal posts for the Armistice Day game. SPORTS Our three yell-leaders, Virgil Young, Harry Ushijima, and Isabel Ace¬ vedo, are ready to lead us in a few yells. John Soito, fullback and member of the varsity football team, is found warming up for one of the games, while the four girls next to him are participating in an exciting hockey game. At one of the games we find Ed Bettencourt, John Williamson, and Coach Taylor. If you look closely you will find that Coach Taylor has his head in his hands. We wonder what is happening! Connie Souza is ready to start a game of darts, and Dorothy Bettencourt and Jean Rogers sell candy. Another member of our football team is Joe Schelbert, tackle, who is also doing some warming up exercises. ADVERTISERS This is De Leon’s service station in Centerville.
