H. HOUGHTON President W. DIAS Treasurer J. HILTON Vice-President A. COSTA Student Council Representative D. JACKSON Secretary W. CALHOUN Yell Leader The ehicf ClaM The Senior Class, although numbering only 87 students, played a sig¬ nificant and substantial role in the affairs of our school. A number of the senior boys are now in the armed forces, a fact of which we are very proud. During the Sixth War Loan Drive, the seniors, in competition with the other classes, won by an outstanding amount. Harold Houghton, who is president of the class, was presented with a banner signifying the winning of first place. On the nights of April 19 and 20, the Senior Class presented a mystery- comedy enti tled The Ghost Train.” For the first time in school history, two separate casts were chosen, one for each night. Both casts, which were under the direction of Mrs. Sheila Hegen, gave outstanding performances. This year, the Senior Class sponsored the annual elementary school May Day program, which is held for the purpose of acquainting the eighth grade students with the school they will enter in the fall. During the morn¬ ing, the eighth-graders visited every room in the school. After lunch they spent an enjoyable afternoon attending the Talent Assembly, which was presented by the high school students. A day that will never be forgotten by the class was the senior sneak day. Then followed, in the last busy weeks of the semester, senior night, senior breakfast, and the all-important senior ball. At the senior assembly, the class of 1945 bid farewell to the school where they had studied and played throughout their four years. The class advisers were Miss Wilson, Mrs. Wright, Miss Whitehurst, Mr. Kibby, Mr. Mette, and Mr. Thornburg. II

The students elected a Student Council and the Student Body President, Stanley Maffey. Membership cards, which gave the holder a subscription to the Hatchet as well as the privileges of free attendance at games, dances, plays, and a discount on the price of the Washingtonian were sold to 87 per cent of the students of Washington High this year. The Student Council secured many interesting assemblies during the year. Included in these were several programs featuring paid entertainers and speakers. Other assemblies were held in which movies were given and athletic awards were presented. Much credit is also due the Student Council on its activity during the bond and stamp drives. Over 90 per cent of the students bought war stamps at the weekly sales and during the Sixth War Loan, the sales of bonds reached 200 per cent. Other activities of the Council were selling Vodvil tickets and the pur¬ chase of a picture for the school’s newly started Art Gallery. 10
