O Qi s E N S 44 LESTER WHITAKER President BETTY VIEUX ' Vice-Pres ' dent MILDRED MARTIN Secretary CHARLOTTE LEWIS Treasurer MARJORIE JACKSON Yell Leader RAY PIERCE Student Council Rep. On the Sunday afternoon of June 1 I, 1944, connmencement exercises were held for 90 graduates of Washington Union High School. This number includes nine mem¬ bers of our class who are in the armed services and eight Evening High School graduates. As the class looks back on our four pleasant years at W. U. H. S., we find our senior year the most outstanding. The first event of this year was the Third War Loan Drive, which made the sen¬ iors dig down deep into their pockets to attain first place in the class competi¬ tion and win the pennant. In the Fourth War Loan Drive the seniors were also the winners. In the two drives the seniors bought a total of $6,712.25 worth of bonds, while the total for the school was $19,448.75. During the last semester the seniors sponsored the annual Eighth Grade Day, when the school entertains the members of the graduation classes of the various ele¬ mentary schools. Enjoyable social occasions were the senior nights, sneak day and the senior week activities of the breakfast, assembly and ball. The class advisers are Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Jackson and Mr. Mette. II

STUDENT COUNCIL Under the leadership of our president, Ernest Tremblay, and of our able Student Council, the Associated Students of Washington Union High School have completed their fifteenth year of student government. This year the first big activity was the sale of membership cards, which provide for the finances for most student activities. The new plan of selling cards in the sixth period classes was tried out and worked well, although the goal of 100% membership was not reached. Another activity that added both to the finances and to the social life of the school was the installing of the Juke Box in the gym to give music for noon dancing. One of the important activities of the Council is the planning of entertaining and educational programs for the student body assemblies. Among these have been student talent shows; several movies; professional singers, dancers and pianists; and athletic assemblies. This year the Council decided that recognition should be given to that group that always works so faithfully behind the scenes at all of our plays. Accordingly an amendment to the constitution was proposed to the student body and it was voted to give awards to the stage crew. In addition to the more serious activities, the Council enjoyed two parties— one early in the year and the other a picinc with the new officers in the spring. Mr. Goold is the adviser of the Student Council. 10
