VOLUME 19,1942 THE ASHINCTONIAN Published by the Senior Class of Washington Union High School Centerville, California As a means of showing our appreciation of four years so happily spent in study and friendship, we, the senior class of 1942, devote this year ' s annual to the School. A symbol of American traditions and ideals, the school stands today also tor the new spirit arising in an America fighting to pre¬ serve those ideals, and to bring peace again to the world. MR. LOGAN MR. OLIVEIRA MR. OVERACKER MR. FRANCIS MR. HARROLD TRUSTEES We, the students of Washington Union High School, wish to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Overacker, Mr. Logan, Mr. Oliveira, and Mr. Harrold, who have given many years of service and guidance to our school, and also to Mr. Francis, whom we greet as a newcomer this year to the Board of Trustees, for the splendid job they have done during the past year. Through their efforts we were fortunate to have bought a new school bus. The shop department, which has been enlarged to make way for a greater national defense effort, is particularly grateful for its new mechanical equipment. The trustees have been active in accumulating funds for a new addition to the school in the not too distant future. They have also been active in the drawing up of plans for WPA projects after the emergency. Because of the emergency the curriculum has been changed to include a shop course, which will enable seniors to go directly into defense work, as well as home nursing and first aid. The evening school also revised its curriculum to emphasize classes beneficial to home defense such as first aid, nursing, and welding, as well as other shop work. All in all, the past year has proved to be a trying one for the Board of Trustees and so once again we sincerely thank them for their splendid work and congratulate them on a job well done. 6 MR. RATHBONE MISS LEACHMAN MR. GOOLD PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE War . . . and our Country is calling upon the schools of America to help win that war. We are prepared to meet that call. Ours Is not a dramatic role, but it is an important one. To train in our classrooms and shops young people who will aid in the defense effort; to prepare these young people for all phases of Civilian Defense; to help them understand the Issues involved In this war; to help them understand the issues Involved in making the peace—all these things and more must the school accomplish. At present plans have been made tor school students to help harvest the corps and to help in factories and defense plants should labor shortages occur. These plans will demand hard work and sacrifices from all of us, but we shall meet these demands as Americans always have—willingly and cheerfully and courageously. 11 FACULTY LORENA HAWLEY GRACE JACKSON HUGH KIBBY d GRACE KNOLES LOREVA LANGEBERG DORIS MACHADO CARLETON BROWN LURAINE COLLINS JAMES ELSEA JOHN ESSICK MURIEL FOURNIER WARREN GRAVESTOCK t HELENA STOCKHOLM CLYDE VOORHEES JUDSON TAYLOR BARTON WEBB DWIGHT THORNBURG EVELYN WILSON JACK REES LOIS SHUMAY MARY VAN WINKLE EULA M.

STUDENT COUNCIL Eager to do its bit was the Student Council at the outbreak of war. Plans for Red Cross work, a boys ' Fire Brigade, Explorer Scout Unit, a First Aid Corps, and a Canteen Corps were made immediately. Noon Victory Dances were also organized, selling defense stamps as admission. Although the cancelling of the Vodvil took away the largest single source of revenue, by careful planning most student activities were carried on, and the Council was able to buy an $800 defense bond as its contribution to our war activity. Our Student Council is to be congratulated on its successful year. 14 W. TEXERA A. GEORGE J. BURTCH President Vice-President Secretary P. COSTA R. TREMBLAY J. WILLIAMSON Treasurer Student Council Representative Yell Leader THE SENIOR CLASS The present Seniors became official members of the student body on Scrub Day, September 9, 1938. Dressed as children, and with faces covered with lipstick, they entertained the school with stunts demanded by the Seniors. As a climax to that memorable day the class put on an assembly for the student body, consisting of its own student talent. The new football bleachers were finished when the class came back in ' 39 as Sopho¬ mores. One could then enjoy a football game with relative comfort, even under adverse weather conditions. The Junior year was much the same as the other two years but as Juniors the class began to realize that they would soon be leaving school. A gala event of that year for the Junior Class was the annual Junior-Senior Prom, when the gym was transformed into a veritable fairlyland, using Fantasia as its theme. The ambition of the class was fulfilled when on the day of the song and yell contest in October, 1941 it was declared the winner. Finally on a sunny May morning the Seniors slipped out to spend a day of swimming, hiking, eating, and games at Linda Vista Park. Then as a climax of a year packed with work and fun came the Senior Play, the Senior Breakfast, and the Senior Ball, in all-too- rapid succession. On the Sunday afternoon of June 7 the Senior Class of 1942 bade farewell to the school where they had studied and played throughout their four years of learning. 15 •on «.

I Their activities, with the aid of our high-stepping majorettes, consisted of participa¬ tion in the Hayward Pet Parade, in the Armistice Day assembly and in the between-half entertainment at the annual Livermore vs. Washington football game held here on November II, 1941. i Under the sponsorship of the band there was a movement started for the organization of a drum majorette and flag drill corps, for which many enthusiastic students signed up. This movement, it is hoped, will be carried on through next year. Our colorful majorettes, led by LaVerne Gomes, included Jacque Burtch, Doris j Alcaraz, Charlotte Lewis and Jessie Seoane. H 35 HATCHET Our school paper, The Hatchet, has had an interesting history. It was started in 1916, making this year the twenty-sixth of its existence. During this time the paper has grown from a mimeographed sheet published several times a year to a four-page bi-weekly. Edited this year by Eugene Corriea, The Hatchet has kept up the high standard set up by other fine editors in the past. Assisting the editor-in-chief were Sally Ann Mayock and Leontine Rose as associate editors; Ernest Machado, business manager, and a staff of 30 reporters. The advisers are Miss Knoles and Mr. Kibby. 36 E. Corriea, A. Rose, E. Machado, T. Alonzo. Top Row: T. Lopez, I. Nakamura, N. George, D. Vargas, E. Brazil, W. Fasolls, C. Inouye, Y. Isoda, E.

A boy may enter this club by winning his block by playing a sport for a certain number of minutes on the field. Block holders may also earn stars through playing the sport the following year. The club ' s program included initiation, which was celebrated by a barbecue, as well as the annual dance. The officers who served this year were Ed Bettencourt, president; Melvin Nunes, vice-president; Barney Bragg, secretary-treasurer; and Coach Taylor, adviser. The Block W boys have tried always to encourage higher standards in quality of performance and better sportsmanship in all games. 38 L. Harvey, L. Caldeira, A. Homen, E. Souza, B. Corey, A. Kato, E.

FUTURE FARMERS Because of the war emergency the Future Farmers of the Washington Chapter I 13 found it necessary to curtail many of their activities. No night meetings were held, and it was found expedient to cancel the annual skating party, the yearly banquet, atten¬ dance at the Future Farmers State-wide Judging Contest, and all field trips. The past year was a busy one, however, and many of the chapter ' s activities were particularly outstanding. Seven members participated in the Alameda County Fair, and a livestock exhibit represented the chapter at the Antioch fair. Anthony Williams and Tony Maciel entered the state-wide tractor driving contest where Anthony not only won first place in the Future Farmer division, but also received the best score of 40 any individual in the entire contest. Tony Maciel won second place in the Future Farmer division. The following members were delegates at Camp Lillard: Anthony Williams, Tony Maciel, Ernest Pine, Bertille Amaral and William Alameda. On October 3 I the chapter played host to the entire student body at the annual Halloween dance. Attractively decorated with pumpkin and cornstalks, the gym formed an attractive background for costumed dancers, all of whom were served refreshments. The Christmas party, held December 10, was also an outstanding event. To this affair were invited the Young Farmers of the Township. Stunts were put on by several members, amusing games were played and refreshments were served. A trip to the Cow Palace in South San Francisco was made by twenty-five members. These members, besides viewing many different breeds of cows, also saw a horse show. The most outstanding project in the chapter is owned by John Reina. This project consists of forty head of dairy calves and cows, a mower, a hayrake, a cream separator and cattle racks for the owner ' s truck with a total value estimated at $2200. Another outstanding livestock project is owned by Tony Maciel. This project consists of beef animals with an estimated value of $1400. An interesting project is owned by Bob Sakata, who specializes in crops such as corn, cauliflower and lettuce. He has carried out these projects very successfully. He has accumulated the following implements in his shop work: a vegetable planter, a crop cultivator, two branch harrows, one six-foot wooden harrow, one ten-foot double section harrow and a trailer. As part of the defense activity this year the Farm Shop group has worked hard repairing a John Deere mower, while John Reina repaired his mower. A four-wheel trailer was built by Yukio Isoda, and a two-wheel trailer was built by Bob Sakata. Feliciano Galvan and Clyde Smally each built poultry brooders, and many other brooders were repaired. Three pig brooders were constructed. Also, as part of the defense plan, the chapter has sponsored a program of Victory Gardens. On April 16 when fourteen new Future Farmers were initiated they had the honor of being installed by Anthony Silva, president of the California Association of Young Farmers. After the initiation a luncheon attended by thirty-nine Future Farmers was served in the small dining room of the cafeteria. Mr. Silva gave an inspiring talk and brief remarks were made by the officers. The ambitiously planned program of the chapter was brought to a successful close under the leadership of the following officers: president, Ed. Bettencourt; vice-president, Joe Caldeira; secretary, Yukio Isoda; treasurer, John Reina; reporter. Bob Sakata; advisors, Mr. Brown and Mr. Elsea. 41 The Assistant steps in Persuading Father Mugsy faces Mother STUDENT BODY PLAY Filled with suspense was the annual Student Body Play, Hollywood Bound, a three-act connedy.

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT “THE PRINCE OF PEACE With awe-inspiring realism our annual Christmas Pageant was presented by Wash¬ ington Union High School on December 14, 1941. Soft lights and the rich tones of the electric organ ushered in The Prince of Peace. Two performances were given on this date and the auditorium was filled to capacity during both performances. Our pageant this year was the story of a persecuted people who had a very deep faith In the promise of their prophets that a Savior would come. This great Prince would lead them out of their captivity and restore their nation. The fulfillment of this promise came when Into the lives of a humble man and woman was born the Prince of Peace. Jeremiah, Isaiah, and MIcah, the prophets, were portrayed by David Vargas, Walter Texera, and Melvin Leal, respectively. Others In the cast were Zacharias, Gilbert DeBorba; the shepherds, Joe Perry, John Truscott, Dick Magers, Eugene Williams and Manuel Sllveira; the wise men: Frank Borghi, John Pereira, and John Amaral; Herod, Rudolph Alonzo; the guards, Gene Martinez and Bob Rand; Joseph, Norbert George; Mary, Catherine Bettencourt; the angels: Rachael Williams, Albe Costa, Ebba Rae Benbow, Sally Logan, Betty Rose, Judy Hill, Sally Mayock, Delphine Solto, Harriett Dias, Adele Bertolotti, Jane Kennelly, Alice Thomas, Jean Wauhab, Joyce Karel, and Marjorie Jackson; the voice of Mary, Harriett Dias; and the voice of the Angel, Albe Costa. In addition to this, a mixed choir of fifty-two voices assisted in making this year ' s pageant the success that it was. was THE SENIOR PLAY With a rollicking story and a lively cast, it was little wonder that the Senior Play a success. Our first theatrical production since the start of the war, The Hutchinsons— Bless Thenn! presented a compact glimpse Into a family crammed with eccentricities. The Hutchinsons pursued their ambitions for painting, modeling, acting, writing, etc., to the complete delight of the audience. The surprise ending was a fitting climax to a play so boisterous with good humor. The cast, directed by Miss Leachman, consisted of the following: Radio Announcer.. Lorraine Roberts__ Paul Hutchinson... Joe Hutchinson.... Minerva___ Kay Hutchinson.... Eileen Hutchinson_ Mary Hutchinson (Mom). Grandma. Ralph Hutchinson... Joyce Wells... Davey Burnside.

Besides dramatics, the club members enjoy various activities such as ice and roller skating, swimming, picnics, and horseback riding. There are almost a hundred members, headed by the following officers: Joy Brown, president; Henry Marianni, vice-president; and Lillian Harvey, secretary. The main feature produced this year by the Dramatics Club was a three-act mystery- comedy entitled, Aunt Susy Shoots the Works, directed by the club ' s adviser. Miss Fournier. The cast included Dorothy Jackson as Aunt Susy, Sally Logan as Joy, Winifred Dias as Scarlet, Genevieve Enos as Laura, Gale Maphet as Madame Zola, Beverly Adams as Cynthia, Marjorie Brunelli as Portia, Bob Manley as Imor, Ed Kuegeman as La Salle, Cecil Griffith as John, and Rolland Adams as Slick. The Dramatics Club also put on an assembly for the student body just before Christmas. INKLING For the literary minded in school there is a special day set aside to write for the Inkling. It is not a formal club but many interesting, original stories, essays, short sketches, and poems are handed in. Miss Knoles directs the publication and Mr. Kibby is in charge of the printing, colorwork, and covers. All the students as well as the alumni and other members of the community enjoy the Inkling, which is published in late May or early June each year. JUNIOR RED CROSS A very important and very active club right now is the Junior Red Cross. The members have conducted successfully book, magazine, tinfoil, and old linen drives. In addition to these drives they have made stationery kits for soldiers. The main event put on by the Junior Red Cross this year was a dance held in April. The dance was in the gym and all the students and alumni were invited. Money was made not only from the tickets sold but also from selling corsages and refreshments. The group is headed by Dorothy Freitas, president; Marjorie Brunelli, vice-president; Beatrice Dutra, secretary; and Miss Fournier, adviser. BICYCLE CLUB The Bike Club, started last March, became famous in a hurry. Because of the tire shortage many activities were curtailed, so the Bike Club really came in handy for 45 solving the annusement problem. Nearly every Saturday from the first meeting to the end of school a group of students gathered at a set meeting place and went for a ride under the supervision of Miss Fournier. Hayward, Calaveras, and Alum Rock were among the places visited. HOMEMAKING CLUB The Homemaking Club is not just a W.U.H.S. organization. It is affiliated with the state and national organizations as well. Several conventions are held each year and the club, supervised by their two advisers. Miss Wilson and Mrs. Morris, went to the one held at the University of California. Home projects taken up by the club include making different articles to be entered in fairs. In the spring the club showed a movie on kitchens to all the girls in school. Besides these activities the girls planned a victory garden and served at the Mothers ' Day Tea. The group is headed by Marjorie Jason, president; Shirley Gaunt, vice-president, and Meiko Egashira, secretary and treasurer. ASSEMBLIES As was decided upon last year, assemblies were held on Thursdays during football season and on Fridays the remainder of the year. Some of the outstanding student assemblies were the Johnny-Williamson Assembly : the annual Hayward Exchange Program—this year a play entitled Love Rides the Rails, an hilarious comedy; the annual Livermore Exchange Program; and the Junior Assembly. A number of assemblies were patriotic ones. On November 10, 1941, a rally and Armistice Day program were given in commemoration of Armistice Day. On January 16, 1942, a Coast Guard assembly was given to the boys. On another occasion, U. S. Navy pictures were shown to the entire student body with a naval officer as lecturer. Some stellar professional assemblies were Cameron Beck, a New York educational administrator; Art Strader, an escape artist; Pierce Knox, the blind xylophonist; and a program presented by the University of California Deputations Committee. The final annual assemblies included the nomination speeches, the installation of new student body officers, and the senior assembly. Tkis year ' s programs were arranged by Joy Brown, student body program chairman; with Mr. Morse and Miss Machado, faculty advisers. 46 BOYS’ SPORTS Seniors, farewell—your coaches have watched you grow from girls and boys to young ladies and young men. Now you leave us to enter another phase of life. In the turmoil of today you enter into a world that will be in many ways different from the world of yesterday. Yet the mystery, the unknown that lies ahead, should be a challenge to each and every one of you to put your shoulder to the wheel, and push in your own way to help your country out of the mire that is war and to create a better world in the future. Your education has not ended here as education is a continuous process throughout life. May the lessons learned at Washington be of great value to you in the world ahead. We wish you well—so long.

FOOTBALL Coming in second in the S.C.V.A.L., the Huskers ' varsity had a better than average season, with the box score showing five games won, one lost, and one tied. Washington ' s team this year, coached by Mr. Taylor and Mr. Voorhees, had high hopes but was stopped in the opening game by Mountain View with a score of 7 to 0. Then the Washington Varsity started to move; it beat Fremont and Gilroy by good scores; it met Los Gatos and tied the score. After this, the Varsity upset the highly favored Santa Clara Varsity 7-0, then went on to win the last two games. One of next year ' s problems will be to replace the backfield combination of four seniors: George Smith, Al George, Gene Martinez, and Elden Mohn. Also missing next year will be Mel Leal, Henry Borghi, Frank Borghi, Barney Bragg, Bob Rand, Hayden Freitas, Howard Nemoto, and Ed Bettencourt. Next year ' s Varsity will have the following seasoned players from the Reserve team: N. George, M. Rose, E. Kuegeman, J. Kimber, L. Rocha, B. Roderick, R. Ramos, J. Andrade, W. Calhoun, F. Rogers, and E. Brazil. The Varsity lettermen returning next year are F. Paredes, K. Calhoun, M. Oliveria, C. Griffith, R. Pierce, T. Arias, Ken Hallen. 53 standing: F. Rogers, W. Ebright, F.

This year ' s team was made up of a group of boys who worked together and executed plays like experts so well were they trained by Coach Taylor. A great loss to the team are graduating seniors Jack Silva, Hayden Freitas, Al George, Lawrence Rogers, Teddy Garcia and Henry Borghi. With the latter part of the season very successful, the B team, coached by Mr. Voorhees, is looking forward.to next year, when, with the exception of seniors Elden Mohn and Tom Parry, all the team returns.

Fortunately only one senior, Donald Lemos, will be lost by the team which is looking toward great victories next year. The D men did fairly well for themselves this season by breaking even with three winning games and three defeats. This total score placed them in the S.C.V.A.L. in third place. All the little men are returning next year to fight for greater victories. 55 C. Griffith, W. Fasolis, D. Lemos, J. Silva, M. Oliveira, C. Griffith, R. Witherly. TRACK LEMOS ' TEAM Top Row: L.

In baseball there are four teams who are playing on a schedule that will take four and one-half weeks of steady playing. In track the meets will be carried out exactly as if it were regular league competition. A point system, giving the mem¬ bers of the team finishing on top 50 points and those participating 25 points each, will be followed. 57 Coach Voorhees, R. Duarte. E. Bettencourt, M. Leal, E. Enos.

Although it, like the rest of our sports, was merely intramural this year, the turnout was larger than it has been for several years. Under the direction of Coach Taylor, several singles and doubles tournaments were organized. A number of students who heretofore had taken little interest in the sport, came out and enjoyed it this year. Some of the new aspirants were Ed. Bettencourt, Jack Silva, Stanley Maffey, Ed Enos, Doug Mayock and Roy Mathiesen. Returning veterans from last year ' s team were George Smith, Melvin Nunes, Arthur Kimber, John Williamson, Dave Webster and Eugene Corriea. Such a deep interest was shown in the sport that it was decided to have a series of games, the winners of which would play in turn. This series of games was very successful and the boys who participated in the tennis ladder were: Doug Mayock, Ed Enos, George Smith, Elden Mohn, Bob Bunting, Lester Gomes, Ed Bettencourt, Art Kimber, Bob Short, John Williamson, Roy Mathiesen, Dave Webster, Eugene Corriea, Jack Silva, Stanley Maffey and Barney Bragg. 60 SPORTS CALENDAR FOOTBALL DATE WITH WHOM WHERE PLAYED SCORE SCORE Oct. 3 Mountain View at Mountain View Washington 0 Mountain View 7 L Oct. 10 Fremont at Centerville Washington 13 Fremont 0 L Oct. 17 Gilroy at Gilroy Washington 26 Gilroy 0 L Oct. 24 Los Gatos at Los Gatos Washington 6 Los Gatos 6 L Oct. 3 1 Santa Clara at Centerville Washington 7 Santa Clara 0 L Nov. 7 Campbell at Campbell Washington 12 Campbell 0 L Nov. 14 Livermore at Centerville Washington RESERVES 18 Livermore 13 Oct. 18 Bellarmine at Bellarmine Washington 0 Bellarmine 13 Nov. 12 Santa Clara at Santa Clara CLASS A Washington BASKETBALL 6 Santa Clara 0 Dec. 2 Pleasanton at Centerville Washington 40 Pleasanton 1 1 Dec. 5 Livermore at Livermore Washington 15 Livermore 17 Dec. 10 Bellarmine at Centerville Washington 26 Bellarmine 12 Dec. 12 Livermore at Centerville Washing ion 14 Livermore 7 Dec. 16 San Leandro at Centerville Washington 24 San Leandro 26 Dec. 19 Santa Clara at Santa Clara Washington 26 Santa Clara 22 1 Dec. 30 Lowell a t Lowell Washington 25 Lowell 16 Jan. 6 Hayward at Centerville Washington 23 Hayward 12 Jan. 9 Alumni at Centerville Washington 17 Alumni 13 Jan. 16 Gilroy at Centerville Washington 31 Gilroy 17 L Jan. 23 Mountain View at Mountain View Washington 34 Mountain View 23 L Jan. 30 Campbell at Centerville Washington 30 Campbell 20 L Feb. 6 Los Gatos at Los Gatos Washington 40 Los Gatos 28 L Feb. 13 San Jose Tech. at Centerville Washington 16 San Jose Tech. 19 L Feb.20 Live Oak at Live Oak Washington 27 Live Oak 15 L Feb. 27 Fremont at Centerville CLASS B Washington BASKETBALL 39 Fremont 21 L DATE WITH WHOM WHERE PLAYED SCORE SCORE Dec. 2 Pleasanton at Centerville Washington 24 Pleasanton 20 Dec. 5 Livermore at Livermore Washington 23 Livermore 20 Dec. 10 Bellarmine at Centerville Washington 20 Bellarmine 16 Dec. 12 Livermore at Centerville Washington 14 Livermore 24 Dec. 19 Santa Clara at Santa Clara Washington 21 Santa Clara 25 L Dec. 30 Lowell at Lowell Washington 16 Lowell 26 Jan. 6 Hayward at Centerville Washington 9 Hayward 21 Jan. 16 Gilroy at Centerville Washington 25 Gilroy 17 L Jan. 23 Mountain View at Mountain View Washington 15 Mountain View 23 L Jan. 30 Campbell at Centerville Washington 22 Campbell 36 L Feb. 6 Los Gatos at Los Gatos Washington 20 Los Gatos 26 L Feb. 13 San Jose Tech. at Centerville Washington 23 San Jose Tech. 1 1 L Feb.20 Live Oak at Centerville Washington 33 Live Oak 21 L Feb. 27 Fremont at Centerville CLASS C Washington BASKETBALL 39 Fremont 21 L Oct. 2 San Jose Tech. at Centerville Washington 19 San Jose Tech. 6 L Oct. 9 Campbell at Campbell Washington 22 Campbell 10 L Oct. 16 Live Oak at Centerville Washington 22 Live Oak 14 L Oct. 23 Fremont at Fremont Washington 28 Fremont 19 L Oct. 30 Santa Clara at Centerville Washington 18 Santa Clara 20 L Nov. 17 Los Gatos at Centerville CLASS D Washington BASKETBALL 18 Los Gatos 19 L Oct. 2 San Jose Tech at Centerville Washington 2 San Jose Tech. 24 L Oct. 9 Campbell at Campbell Washington 16 Campbell 25 L Oct. 16 Live Oak at Centerville Washington 6 Live Oak 8 L Oct. 23 Fremont at Fremont Washington 27 Fremont 6 L Oct. 28 Pleasanton at Centerville Washington 13 Pleasanton 24 Oct. 30 Santa Clara at Centerville Washington 17 Santa Clara 10 L Nov. 17 L = Leag Los Gatos ue Game at Centerville Washington 20 Los Gatos 8 L 61 GIRLS’ SPORTS Senior Girls: Right now is the tinne when we begin to recall the good times we ' ve had together, especially as you prepare to separate from a way of life that has dominated your time for four years. As you step out into new fields in the world of turmoil today may we hope that you remember to play fairly and as hard as you have in team games. Thus you will have the satisfaction of knowing, I ' ve done my best. While earning a living, remember to find time for play; it may prove the cure for all problems that cause worry. If you ' ll make up your mind what you want and go after it, my wishing you luck will not be necessary because success and happiness lie ahead.—Lois Shumway. At last the long-awaited day of your graduation has arrived. Now you will have the opportunity to go forth and find your place in the scheme of things. Today, perhaps more than ever before, the world needs young people with enthusi¬ asm, new ideas, and high ideals. Each of you has a definite goal to reach. Some of you v ill have to struggle for it, just as you had to struggle at various times to win athletic games, but when you do reach your goal, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that it was well worth the fight.—Florence Sherman. 62 BASKETBALL Standing: I.

GIRLS’ SPORTS This past year has been a very successful and a very enjoyable one for the girls under Miss Sherman, the new gym teacher, and Miss Shumway, both of whom taught them the techniques of many of the popular sports. Hockey started off the year, and a tournament was begun among the classes. The seventh period team was the victor in this. In speed-ball, only techniques were prac¬ ticed, no games were played. During the winter months volley-ball, which was played in the gym, was the main game. This year after-school games were played. All the teams were very good and the second and sixth period team fought hard to win the victory. VOLLEYBALL Standing: E. Bettencourt, M. Bernard, L. Caldeira, M. Egashira. Seated: I. Santos, S.

GIRLS’ SPORTS In the spring, the classes started playing their old favorite, basketball. Elimination games were played and the seventh period team won the championship. On Fridays the girls could play anything they wished. Tennis, badminton, and base¬ ball were the most popular choices. Various types of dancing were also practiced on this day. Playday was at Hayward High School this year and many of the girls enjoyed participation in various games. The girls all look back on a happy, full year and forward to another enjoyable one. “POME” a la OGDEN NASH On September fifteenth the Freshmen came into high school on quaking kneeses, And a few days later were welcomed by the Seniors who met them with varied teazes. Then shortly after, the Big and Little Sisters Party took place at the Santa Clara Same. And the yells split the ether so nobody could possibly think the party was verra tame. The Christmas Pageant was next on the Calendar and everybody said it was beautiful and effective. If anyone doesn ' t agree with this verdict, we know his judgment is defective. Every week, all through the season, the school has a chance to enjoy a program in Assembly. Some of them have been funny, some exciting, and some left you all trembly. The first social date of the new year was the beautiful Valentine Dance. You certainly should have been there—if you weren ' t—to see how those Sophomores did prance. Informal fun was the order of the day at the various Senior Nites. And if you had been to all of them, you ' d certainly have seen some sights. Cne thing that was lots of fun was the Thursday Dances for Defense; V e think they have been useful for the government, too, for they have certainly brought out the dollars and cents. And we weren ' t sure about the Mother ' s Day Tea, and we knew there would be no vodvil. Which is undoubtedly just as well, as it conserves the tires on the automobil. But there was still the Senior Play to look forward to, and an afternoon graduation. Which ended this term, and for the Seniors, climaxed their high school education. 65 I. Scrub Day. 2.
