Picturing high school as it seemed to us and as we want to remember it has been our aim in composing this year ' s Washingtonian. We present it to you in the hope that it will, in the future, serve as a means of reminding you of the years spent in learning to live and work together successfully as the citi¬ zens of tomorrow. We have chosen husky dogs as the theme for this year ' s Washingtonian in honor of the members of our athletic teams who are called Huskies. In reading this Washingtonian we hope each of you will find pleasant memories of school life at Washington Union High School. MRS. WRIGHT flPPRECIflTIOn For twenty-two years students, members of the faculty, and trustees of Washington Union High School have found in Mrs. Wright a loyal, respected, and much-loved friend. Following the untimely death of her beloved husband, George Whitefield Wright, for nineteen years the principal of our high school, Eula M. Wright assumed the position of librarian of Washington Union High School. During these years, her tireless devotion to duty and her broad cultural interests have developed our library until it ranks as one of the best in the state of California among schools of our size. As the wife of a beloved principal of our school and as our librarian, Mrs. Wright has had forty-one years of close association with Washington Union High School. This year marks the end of this close association, for Mrs. Wright has decided to retire. In this Washingtonian of 1946, the senior class salutes Mrs. Wright, and on behalf of all the students, faculty, and trustees expresses to her its deep appreciation and sincere affection.

TRUSTEES To fhe gentlemen on the Board of Trustees who have served our high school so well during the past year, we students express our deepest gratitude. They are carrying on one of the highest types of community service, one which is fundamental to our Democracy, the maintenance and the development of our public schools through local community leadership. During the past year, the freshmen on the Board of Trustees, Mr. Sam G. Scott, Mr. A. E. Alameda, and Mr. Edward E. Enos, have fully demonstrated their ability as trustees and their devotion to the best interests of our school. Our veteran members on the Board of Trustees, Mr. Herbert Harrold and Mr. An¬ drew K. Logan, are nearing the close of their sixteenth year of splendid service to our school. For sixteen years they have given their time and their energy to the problems of high school administration without monetary compensation. Their compensation and that of our new trustees is the satisfaction of having done well a very worthwhile job. These five members of the Board of Trustees, working with our District Superintend¬ ent, Mr. Goold, and Vice-Principal, Mr. Gravestock, are formulating plans for the de¬ velopment of our facilities to meet the greatly increased enrollment which is expected within a few years. They have had reconversion problems to meet and those involv¬ ing educational opportunities for the returning veterans. Last year three members of our Board of Trustees resigned. Mr. John Oliveira had served since 1931; Mr. M. J. Overacker, since 1927. Also resigning last year after several years of fine service was Mr. Robert Francis. We students sincerely appreciate their years of unselfish service to Washington Union High School. 7 MR. GOOLD PRinciPRL’s messflCE The termination of the school year 1945-1946 has a peculiar significance to me. It marks the closing of the fourth year of the present administration. The Senior Class of 1946 and I were, in a sense, freshmen together four years ago. I hope these four years have been as happy to them as they have been to me. They have been years of work, and play, and accomplishment. The school, with its physical facilities and well trained staff, has endeavored to place the students in real-life situations through which they might learn initiative and straight thinking in meeting their problems, as well as that behavior desirable in American com¬ munity life. Judging from the comments of supervisors, visitors, and others whose judg¬ ment is deemed authentic, the lessons taught have been well learned. The greatest satisfaction that any administrator or group of teachers can have is the knowledge that the products of their teaching are equipped to go into the world with a background which will allow them a reasonable degree of success in their chosen field. You, the class of 1946, have proven by your every action that you have the necessary attributes which will make you excellent citizens and bring you success in your chosen field of work. Mere words cannot express my gratitude and affection for each of you, or how much your loyalty and cooperation have contributed to the ease of administering the school these past four years. 8 FflCULTV EVELYN BROWN ROSS BROWN AUDREY CARMODY EMMA DOANE DOROTHY ENOS WARREN GRAVESTOCK LORENA W.

The council sponsored three special assemblies, a singer, a group of magicians, and , the annual assembly of the National Transcriber ' s Society for the blind. At this last assembly three blind students from a school in Mexico entertained the school with I Spanish songs, and at the end of the assembly a gift was made to the society to aid in printing books for the blind. i The Bond Drive in the fall was also sponsored by the Student Council and a total of $18,506.25 worth of bonds was sold. A competition between the classes, won by the sophomores, made the drive interesting. Work on a Code of Ethics for the school has also been carried on. The code, which was suggested by the Scholarship Society, was begun early in the fall. After discus¬ sion of suggestions made by the entire school it was adopted in the spring by the Student Council. The members were Mr. Goold, adviser; Harold Alameda, president; Ronald Oliver, vice-president; Charlotte Janeiro, yell leader; Marvin Peixotto, athletic manager; Beverly Soito, girls ' athletic manager; Herta Tack, cafeteria bookkeeper; Vivian Maciel, treasurer; Eva Jason, Girls ' League president; Winifred Pereira, secretary; Richard Brunelli, representative-at-large; Harvey Hernandez, Hatchet editor; Robert Rose, ' representative-at-large. V I i V THE SEHIOR CLASS R. OLIVER President N. HAMMOND Treasurer S. COOPER Vice President B. ROSE Yell Leader G. FERNANDZZ Secretary E. JASON Representative The class of 1946, the first Senior Class to graduate since the war ended, has enjoyed privileges and activities which have been denied graduating classes of war restricted years. Because Pop Goold became principal when we entered Washington as freshmen, he has always seemed not only a good principal but also a great pal to all of us. In appreciation to him for his kindness and interest, the Senior Class of 1946 presented him with a picture to hang in his office. The title of the Senior Class play for this year was Summer Storm. Under the direc¬ tion of Mrs. Kramer, it was presented two nights, April 25 and 26 by two different casts. On May 3rd the seniors were hosts for the day to the eighth graders of Washington Township. During the morning these future freshmen were shown through the various classrooms in which demonstrations were being given. In the afternoon the visitors were given an assembly consisting of various acts performed by the students of W.U.H.S. Other activities were senior nights and senior sneak day, which v as held on May I 5th at Alum Rock. Highlight of Senior Week was the Senior Assembly which was given the last Tuesday of school, June 4. On Thursday, June 6, the Senior Breakfast was given, followed by graduation rehearsal. On Friday night came the Senior Ball which ended a week of many unforgettable activities. The seniors were graduated from school on Sunday, June 16.

Marie Sandholt with Miss Marietta Edwards as its first president, the Girls ' League has always symbolized hospitality, unselfishness, and the refinements of school life. Organized primarily for the purpose of teaching girls the principles of leadership and cooperation, the Girls ' League was one of the most active organizations at Washington High until the spring of 1944 when it was temporarily discontinued. In 1945 it was reorganized and held its first meeting on October 16, 1945, with an election of officers. Those heading the organization were president, Eva Jason; vice- president, Nelda Hammond; ways and means, Bette Cotter; hospitality chairman, Lor¬ etta Caldeira; program chairman, Beverly Soito; treasurer, Gerry Fernandez; secretary, Thelma Biale. Since the reorganization, the League has sponsored several assemblies for the girls. On October 19, 1946 Dr. Gertrude Witherspoon, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at San Jose State College, gave the girls an interesting talk about cosmetics and their use. Later, on March 20, 1946, Mrs. Shields, a nurse from St. Francis Hospital in San Francisco, spoke to the girls about nursing. In cooperation with the Washington Union High School P.T.A., the Girls ' League sponsored the Football Dinner honoring the football squads on December 5, 1945. Under the direction of the Dean of Girls, Miss Knoles, the Girls ' League has had a very successful year and has worked toward accomplishing its purpose of helping the girls to settle their problems and get along with others. 23 THE HATCHET STAFF This year, as in the past, the Hatchet has been the students ' chief source of school news. The Hatchet was started in 1916 and has been a regular part of school life since then. The rush outside the cafeteria on Friday expresses the interest and curiosity the Hatchet excites in the student body. Headed by Harvey Hernandez, editor; Annette Kirkish and Roy Stubblefield, assist¬ ant editors; and Vivian Maciel, business manager; the Hatchet has done an excellent job of keeping the students informed on the latest happenings at WUHS through¬ out the year. A large number of reporters and feature writers have contributed the material for the Hatchet. Doing this work outside of class, the reporters have done a good job of relating events as they happened. Much of the success of the Hatchet could not have been attained without the advice and assistance of Miss Knoles and Mr. Kibby. The printing classes were in charge of printing the paper. f The Hatchet is available to all students who have student body cards and is also sent to members of the Alumni Association. For one year after graduation students receive the Hatchets bi-monthly. A cub staff has been organized this year. It is composed of all the students who are planning to write for the Hatchet next year. Having a cub staff will avoid having all | inexperienced members on the Hatchet staff next year, and we are looking forward to i an excellent paper. | R. Stubblefield, H. Hernandez, A.

We, the staff, hope that you will not be disappointed in the annual of 1946. Last year the Student Body chose the name Washington Huskies for our athletic teams, and for that reason the staff chose Husky dogs as the theme for this annual, and orange and black, our school colors, for the color scheme. The section pages were planned and drawn by Caroline Diaz. We extend our thanks to Mr. Kibby and the printing classes for making the Wash¬ ingtonian covers, and to the art department for helping with the section pages. Mem¬ bers of the fifth period photography group who helped take the pictures were Bob Wasley, Edna Lewis, Diane Ferraris, Bonnie Poole, Winifred Rogers, Eva Corchero, Frances Monte, and Patricia Lopez. Each member of the staff enjoyed working on this year ' s annual and hopes that every one of you will enjoy looking at it. We also hope that in the years to come it will bring back pleasant memories of your days spent at Washington High. The Washingtonian staff of 1946 included Editor, Ardis Hulse; Associate Editor, Thelma Biale; Business Manager, Beverly Bennett; Assistant Business Manager, Patricia Owen; Classes, Norma Bettencourt; Student Council, Vivian Maciel; Boys ' Athletics, Harold Alameda and Richard Brunelli; Girls ' Athletics, Beverly Soito; Organizations, Vivian Reina and Jeanette Luna; Future Farmers, Fred Goossen; Dramatics, Annette Kirkish; Art, Caroline Diaz; Adviser, Miss Van Winkle.

CRLIFORnifl SCHOLARSHIP FEDeROTlOH Chapter I I I of the California Scholarship Federation of Washington Union High School started the year 1945-46 with 12 students as members. The C. S. F. has been very active this year and has accomplished many worthwhile things. The Memorial Art Gallery, organized by the C. S. F. has received many excellent con¬ tributions from various organizations. In particular, the American Legion and its auxiliary contributed pictures in honor of all the gold star servicemen of Washington Township. This year the C. S. F. has also sponsored a Code of Ethics which it hopes will have a fine effect on the thinking of Washington High students. A formal initiation is usually held each semester. This year the initiation took place in the school cafeteria February 20, and the membership was increased to 18 students. A student is eligible to become a member only if his semester grades total ten points. Life membership is attained by any student who remains in the Scholarship Society for six semesters, including one semester of the Senior year. This student receives a gold seal on his diploma and a gold scholarship pin signifying life membership. Norma Betten¬ court and Thelma Biale have already earned life membership, and several more may qualify for this honor in the last semester. With the enrollment increasing, it is hoped that more students will strive for C. S. F. honors. B. Mette, T. Logan, J. McIntyre, R. Cotton UPPER ROW: L. Benbow, R. Stubblefield, B. Mette, G.

SCIEnCE CLUB One of our newest extra-curricular activities this year is the Science Club, organized late In November for the benefit of students who are Interested In science. The club Is divided Into three sections: photography, aeronautics, and biology. The photography group spent much time learning how to print and develop pictures and learning a little about the different techniques of this work. The students belonging to the biology group spent many Interesting hours in the study of biology and relative subjects. They have looked at flowers, leaves, onion skins, water, bacteria, and ameobas under the microscope and have drawn many Interesting pictures of these. The aeronautics group have studied and made experiments with airplane motors. The entire club performed chemistry experiments for the purpose of finding the dif¬ ferent colors of the elements of the periodic table. In the spring a trip was made to San Francisco where the students enjoyed a tour through the San Francisco Museum of Natural History. The meetings of the club were held every other Thursday during seventh period and after school. The students were taken home In the activity buses. With her natural Interest In science Mrs. Doane was a very capable adviser and took great Interest in the club ' s projects. BRHD nno GLEE CLUB Three importanf musical organizations in our school, the band, the orchestra, and the Glee Club add to our pleasure and to the effectiveness of our dramatic produc¬ tions during the year. The band consists of thirty-five regular members with five more who play for games. This group played for all home football games, went to Mountain View and Santa Clara with the team, and participated in the Lincoln Assembly. The orchestra, which attempts more serious music than the band, played for the Senior Play and for Commencement and took part in the Music Assembly. This year an award for four-year participation in music was won by Wilbert Andrade, and three-year awards were won by Robert Rose, Beverly Soito, William Enos, Cyrus Caldeira, Alvina Perry, Andy Gardetto, David Priego, Beth King, and Lillian Tabash. The Music Makers, our Glee Club, is another active organization. The members sang for the Pageant, the Lincoln Assembly, and the Music Assembly. In addition, smaller groups of members have furnished music for other organizations throughout the year, a group going to Camp Shoemaker at Christmas to sing carols. The Glee Club, meeting every fifth period, is conducted like a club with Patricia Mohn as president; David Priego, secretary-treasurer; and Ethel Borge, sergeant-at- arms. With money received from dues the group has bought music, besides giving a party and dance. Mr. Thornburg is the director of all three musical organizations. BAND UPPER ROW: E. Tack, C. Fields, B.

Their president, Arthur Santos, went to the Annual State Convention of the F.F.A., and he brought back many ideas on how to organize and run the F.F.A. in our school to a better advantage. The year was equally divided into work and play, and the members enjoyed both. Home projects carried on by the boys were useful and profitable; while at school they worked on improving the greenhouse built last year by laying concrete walks and build¬ ing a tool and dirt storage shed. To help pay for the building they raised tomato and celery plants to sell. The social activities included varied events. On October 6 the officers of our Chapter attended the Officers Training School at Half Moon Bay High School. A basketball team was organized to play other schools. A Christmas party, where gifts were ex¬ changed and a movie shown, was enjoyed. At the annual Parent-Son Banquet the boys entertained members from other chapters, and faculty, as well as their parents. The annual picnic, always a pleasant event, ended the year ' s activities. The officers were Arthur Santos, president; Joe Roderick, vice-president; Fred Goos- sen, treasurer; Alvin Silva, secretary; Frank Gomes, reporter; Salvador Galvan, senti¬ nel; Mr. Brown, adviser.

BOVS’ “UJ” CLUB The Boys ' W Club of Washington Union High School is an athletic organization with membership privileges for any boy who has earned a block in football, basketball, baseball, or track, regardless of classification. The object of the Club is to promote physical efficiency, good sportsmanship, good companionship, and to create interest in athletics among the boys. Any boy is eligible for membership if he has earned his block W in a competitive sport. After paying his dues and being initiated, he has the privilege of attending meetings, of deciding club functions, of voting, and of holding office. He is also admit¬ ted free of charge to all games played on home grounds, even after he has graduated from school. During the year the W Club has taken part in several activities. An initiation is held after each sport for the benefit of the boys who have earned their blocks in that sport. This year the W Club presented an assembly to the school on Thursday, March 14. The assembly consisted of several singing and dancing acts. Another activity was the Christmas dance, sponsored jointly by the girls ' and boys ' W Clubs on December 7. The two Clubs also enjoyed a party at Alum Rock Park in the spring. Officers for the past year were president, Dan Corchero; vice-president, Norman Dolin; secretary-treasurer, Harvey Hernandez; adviser, Mr. Hird. 30 S ito, D. Ferraris, C. Janeiro. UPPER ROW: M.

GIRLS’ “UJ” CLUB The Girls ' W Club which was organized to promote a finer spirit of fellowship and sportsmanship among the girls of the school started the year with fourteen mem¬ bers. The first activity, a contest with the Boys ' W Club in selling student body cards, was won by the girls, and they enjoyed the party that they earned in this way. Skat¬ ing and bowling parties were also held for club members during the year. Other activities which were carried out in cooperation with the boys ' club were the Christmas dance and the joint initiation of new members. The dance, to which all stu¬ dents in school were invited, was given on December 7. The initiation, which was held in the auditorium instead of out of doors as it has been in the past, made an entertaining school assembly. The theme was Truth or Conse¬ quences with new members of both clubs as contestants. In order to wear a W a girl must earn 700 points. One hundred points are obtained by playing a full game of basketball, hockey, speedball, or baseball. If a girl plays less than a full game she receives points in proportion to the time played. All girls who have earned W ' s may become members of the club. The officers for the year were President, Charlotte Janeiro; Vice-President, Beverly Soito; Secretary-Treasurer, Diane Ferraris. Mrs. Nelson was the adviser. JUniOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross of Washington Union High is under the direction of Miss Carmody, assisted by some of the girls of the Homemaking Classes including Pat Mohn, Thelma Logan, Carmen Soto, Beverly Hird, Annie Navas, Genevieve Mello, Elaine Neeley, Geraldine Fletcher, and Patsy Mendonca. A large part of the work done by the Junior Red Cross is for servicemen. The girls in the homemaking classes have finished some of the work started last year, made joke books for army and navy hospitals, and have completed simple birthday cards for the use of the boys in the service. Several days are set aside each month for sewing which is managed by the Junior Red Cross heads in each class. On these days the girls sew on convalescent slippers and utility bags for the boys in army and navy hospitals. The Junior Red Cross Drive was very successful this year. Members of the Drive Com¬ mittee were Diulinda Duarte, Amelia Lacerda, Pat Mohn, Beatrice Moura, Roeslyn Moura, Martha Rose, Esther Serbantes, Irene Souza, and Shirley Viveiros. The students of Washington High enrolled 100%; the amount of money collected was $52.84. In order to advertise the drive the homemaking girls distributed throughout the classes posters depicting Red Cross activities. All of the members of the Junior Red Cross feel that they are a part of a very useful organization. UPPER ROW: Miss Carmody, G. Mello, T. Logan, P. Mendoza, G. Fletcher. LOWER ROW: E. Neeley, A.

Mr. George Mathiesen has very successfully carried out the duties of head custodian. Due to his foresight and capability the school has been kept up and ready for use at all times. Mr. Antone Andrade has done much in retaining and improving the attractiveness of the lawns and gardens of our school. Driving school buses is no easy matter, and we are grateful for the patience and en¬ durance of custodians Mr. George Marks, Mr. George Mathiesen, and Mr. Lawrence Sylva. Mr. Joaquin De Valle, the night watchman, is also an essential custodian. Keeping our rooms and halls at the right temperature is one of the jobs done by Mr. Alfred Andrade, as well as caring for the first floor of our school. The second floor is cared for by Mr. Joe Dutra. Mrs. Nunes has done a very fine job of caring for the girls ' gym. She also sees to it that we always have clean towels. Mrs. Nora Rogers, Mrs. Eleanor Lewis and Mrs. Palmira De Valle have handled the difficult task of preparing our lunches for us and cleaning and caring for the cafeteria. Feeding such a large number of people is a big order, and one that has been very ably dealt with by our cafeteria staff. UPPER ROW: A. Andrade, L. Sylva. G. Mathiesen, J. Dutra. LOWER ROW: A.

The play was a three act comedy under the direction of Mrs. Marian Kramer. Music between the acts was furnished by the school orchestra, led by Mr. Thornburg. The play begins with the celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Burton ' s twentieth wedding anniversary in the form of a surprise second ceremony and honeymoon. After the parents leave, the plot moves swiftly. Chuck, the oldest son, reports his car stolen; the Burton children are held up by two strange kids; and Aunt Eloise, an old family friend, and Steve Freeman, best man at the Burton ' s two weddings, renew an old love affair. When the sheriff accuses Chuck of being responsible for a series of holdups, the whole plot turns against Chuck. The Burton children become very worried because they do not want to cause their mother and father any trouble. At the exciting climax Uncle Steve solves all the problems and everything is in proper order for Mr. and Mrs. Burton ' s return. The members of the two casts are as follows: Chuck Burton, Eddie Cardoza; Buddy Burton, Norma Jean Santos and John Torquemada; Eloise Turner, June Daniels and Clara Feliciano; Nedra Burton, Winnie Pereira and F elen Vieux; Patricia Burton, Arlene McNemar and Nelda Hammond; Ada Burton, Ella Mae Allan and Ramona Perez; Spike, Arthur Brown; Val, Evelyn Brown and Annette Kirkish; Clem Burton, Alwin Lewis and William Enos; Stephen Freeman, Charles Willis and Leon Vieux; Rev. Daniels, Gilbert Espinoza; Kenny Clark, Frank Hernandez; Sheriff O ' Neill, Henry Gutierrez. Gerry Fernandez and Barbara Re acted as prompters; Mrs. Doane and Mickie Mohn were in charge of properties and sound effects. HERE nno THERE. Our cameraman finally managed to get some seniors to stay in one place long enough to snap their pictures. One of the very promising young men of the senior class is Jim Ruoff. Waunita Le Count, Loretta Caldeira, Vivian Reina, Jeanette Luna, and Ethel Borge are all smiling prettily for the cameraman. The next young gentleman is none other than Richard Brunelli. Looking very much at ease are Dan Corchero, Arthur Brown, Dwino Bassignani, Henry Gutierrez, and John Torquemada. Sitting in their favorite spot are Helen Vieux, Thelma Biale, Gerry Fernandez, and Barbara Re. Caroline Diaz is enjoying the sun during the lunch hour. Annette Kirkish, Pat Mohn, Pat Owen, and Beverly Bennett are looking very happy—maybe because they are seniors. 36 flROUnO THE SCHOOL Variety is the spice of life, and there ' s plenty of variety at high school. The jazz band including Wilbur Andrade. Dave Priego, Andy Sardetto, Alvina Perry, Beverly Soito and Alden Chamness are practicing; while Joan Berney is reciting in class. Taking an important part in our school life are our yell leaders, Mary Corchero, Charlotte Janeiro, and Diane Avakian. School assemblies would not be successful were it not for our stage crew—Andy Gardetto, Gilbert Espinoza, Gordon Kibby, Cyrus Caldeira, Salvador Guerrero, Charles Clay. Betty Allender, Rosalie Rogers, Beth King and Antoinette Barcide. Roger Halliday, Robert Mclvor and Lewis Milani are helping with the Sopho¬ more election; while Tom Cardenas, Ronald Cozzi and Everet McNulty are busy studying. Mr. Brown, Joseph Roderick and Arthur Santos were snapped at the Future Farmer banquet. HERE nno THERE. High school is a busy place as anyone can see. Throughout the day the students are engaged in various activities. Americo Ferreira and Alvin Silva are working industriously in wood shop, while Mary Senn and Dorothy Alberts are baking something in cooking class. The homemaking and shop courses are a great aid in teaching the students to do useful things. Evelyn Brown is learning machine calculation this year, and she looks very business-like too. Out in the art building two promising young artists, Norman Dolin and Roland Chivers, are making sketches of Ronald Martin; while in the cafeteria Isabelle Garcia and Gloria Del Fiorentino, two student helpers, are preparing lunch. No doubt i Cyrus Caldeira will be hungry when he finishes his job in machine shop. ....RROUnO THE SCHOOL During their lunch hour David Leask, Robert De Salles, and Charles Willis are having fun and taking in a little sunshine while Dorothy Costa and Thelma Santos smile for the cameraman. Out near the football field Jiro Nakamura stops running the track for a moment to pose. Enjoying the sun on the front entrance of our school are Carrie Garcia. Carmen Navas. Rosemary Janeiro and Dolores Mognaga. Harold Alameda and Don Querner look very busy trying to dig the weeds from our baseball diamond; while Mary Senn and Christine Murrell are working on dresses in their sewing classes. Also working industriously in typing class are Mildred Enos. Edna Lewis. Evelyn De Costa. Barbara Furtado. and Placy Paredes, who continue their typing while the cameraman takes this informal snap. BOYS ' PHYSICAL EDUCATION Seniors: Four years ago we entered Washington together. 1 can truly say they have been four of the best years I have ever known. We came here together during a time when athletics were greatly curtailed because of the war. After our first year we were allowed to participate in inter-scholastic sports. Our sophomore year was just an average year. Then we were juniors. As juniors we took second in everything but track, and now as seniors you have helped to carry our banners to more victories. You have not been cham¬ pions of the league, but you have been champions in your hearts. You have given your all and given it well. You have shown the highest quality of spirit, cooperation, and sportsmanship. I wish you all the success and happiness you rightfully deserve. So long and good luck! -—Irving Hird. GIRLS PHYSICAL EDUCATION This has been a wonderful year and I ' m sure you ' ll feel as I do, that it has gone by too quickly. All too soon you are all facing the problems of your future and those of our country. Through physical education we try to give you a fundamental understanding of health, your own limitations and the value of physical activity. We hope to have helped you create a desire for health and well being that necessarily must go hand in hand with physical activity. Through team sports you ' ve developed endurance, sportsmanship and a sense of responsibility; these lessons will be a part of your experience for many years to come. May your memories be happy ones.—Lois Nelson. Mr. Phillips, Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Nelson, Mr. Hird, Mr. Voorhees. 41 UPPER ROW: C. Willis, V. Fracolli, L. Gutierrez, A. Hughes, N. Peixotto, R. Oliver, A.

FOOTBRLL 1945 A better than average record was made this year by the Washington High Huskies with only one loss and two ties out of eight games played. The squad this year was well balanced and gave a very good account of itself through¬ out the season. Rolling over a strong Santa Clara team, nineteen to seven, and trounc¬ ing the Gilroy eleven, thirty-eight to fourteen, the Washington Huskies placed their bid for the Santa Clara Valley Athletic title. In two practice games the Huskies bowled over a Hayward team, thirty-eight to zero, and Jefferson, from San Francisco, twenty-six to six. On November 30, the Washington Huskies went to Los Gatos to meet the Los Gatos Wildcats in a championship game. After a hard-fought battle, the Washington eleven ended up on the short end of a nineteen to six score. Two players, Alex Bernard, fullback, and Harold Alameda, left end, were selected for the S.C.V.A.L. first team. Center Burt Madsen was elected second string all-valley, and several other players were given honorable mention. The players lost through graduation are Captains Ronnie Oliver and Don Corchero, Norval Peixotto, Robert Rose, Harold Alameda, Jim Shanks, Norman Dolin, Adolphe Enos, William Enos, Charles Willis, Richard Brunelli, Harvey Hernandez, Everett Mc¬ Nulty, Dwino Bassignani and Arthur Brown. Returning lettermen are Jack Moser, Alex Bernard, Burt Madsen, Don Querner, Gerald Morley, Leonard Smith, Alden Chamness, and John Bolivia. With these returning lettermen, we can look forward to a very successful season in 1946. 42 HAROLD ALAMEDA DWINO BASSIGNANI ALEX BERNARD RICHARD BRUNELLI ALDEN CHAMNESS DAN CORCHERO NORMAN DOLIN ADOLPHE ENOS WILLIAM ENOS BURT MADSEN EVERETT McNULTY GERALD MORLEY JACK MOSER RONALD OLIVER NORVAL PEIXOnO DON QUERNER ROBERT ROSE JIMMY SHANKS LEONARD SMITH CHARLES WILLIS UPPER ROW: H.

The B ' s are the fellows who are not big enough or old enough to play for the varsity. This team was called the Puppies and was coached by Mr. Phillips. The Pups had a better than average year, for they lost only one game. They opened the season with a scrimmage against Livermore; this game ended In a tie, 6-6. The Pup ' s next game was with the Santa Clara B string, which also ended In a tie, 0-0. Breaking away from their tying streak, they took the next two games. The first was a hard-fought battle with Campbell, In which the Pups came out on top, 6-0. When they played the Fremont Indians ' B string, the Pups took It with very little trouble, win¬ ning by a score of 18-0. Their last game of the season was against the Los Gatos B string. This game, just like the Varsity ' s game against Los Gatos, was a championship game. In which the Pups lost their hardest-fought battle of the season and also the championship, 13-7. 44 Los Gatos Game Fremont Game Fremont Game Football practice Los Gatos Game I30 ' s Basketball ISO ' s Basketball Varsity Basketball Varsity Basketball Varsity Basketball 130 UPPER ROW: D.

BASKETBALL The Washington Varsity had a mediocre season, winning six out of sixteen games and ranking fifth in the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League ratings. Lasting credit is due Coach Voorhees who returned from the service to take over an inexperienced basketball squad that had only one returning letterman from last year ' s Varsity. The team was composed mainly of juniors who have gained valuable experience for next year ' s team. The team this year was composed of Jiro Nakamura, Harvey Hernandez, Don Querner, Victor Fracolli, Bob Rose, Jack Moser, Leslie Halliday, Taira Nishioka, Arthur Hughes, Dan Goularte, Andy Graber, Burt Madsen, Alex Bernard, Ronnie Oliver and Harold Alameda. Jiro Nakamura, center and mainstay of the Huskies, was the leading scorer of the varsity with 179 points to his credit. The floorwork of the Huskies was good but their greatest trouble was hitting the basket. Those lost through graduation are Harvey Hernandez, Bob Rose, Ronnie Oliver, and Harold Alameda. With the experience gained by playing this year, the returning players should exper¬ ience a very successful season in 1947. 130 BASKETBALL Finishing in fourth place in the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League, the Washington Union High School 130 basketball team, The Puppies, completed a fairly successful season this year. They triumphed seven times and suffered nine defeats during a sixteen game season. Four of the Pups victories were league contests. The Washington High Pups captain was that smooth playing, cool headed senior, Frank Hernandez. Sophomore Reuben Rodriguez led the 130 team in scoring honors with a total of seventy-five for fourteen games this season. Reuben had an average of about six points per game. The I 30 ' s scored 414 points in sixteen games while their opponents scored 323. The Pups had an average of 25.88 points per game. The opposing teams had an average of 20.19 points per game. The members of the first team were: Dave Priego, Reuben Rodriguez, Melford A’a- meda, Norman Dolin, Frank Hernandez (captain). Bob Rose was playing first string forward until coach moved him to the Varsity. Only three members of the I30 ' s, Frank Hernandez, Norman Dolin, and Eddie Cardoza, were seniors. The remaining members will form the nucleus of next years ' Varsity and 130 teams for Washington. BRSEBRLL As the annual goes to press the Washington High baseball squad seems to be well on its way to a very successful season. Getting off to a slow start, the Huskies have rounded off into a smooth-working baseball combination. With such returning lettermen as Harvey Hernandez, Bob Rose, Dan Corchero, Harold Alameda, Alex Bernard, Burt Madsen, Lennie Smith, and Dave Priego, the Huskies are looking forward to a better than average season. The team has been given excellent instruction by Coach Irving Hird, who has devoted his time to developing a championship club. Besides the returning lettermen, the Huskies have several good transfers and boys from last year ' s reserve, including J. Shanks, J. Nakamura, M. Alameda, N. Peixotto, L. Moora, I. Alameda, and A. Silva. At the end of the season, by winning four and losing three games, Washington had placed third in baseball in the S. C. V. A. L. UPPER ROW: J. Nakamura, N. Peixotto, B. Madsen, A. Bernard, D.

TRRCK As the annual goes to press the Washington High track squad has started out in what seems to be a fairly successful season. The squad includes such returning lettermen as Harvey Hernandez, Norval Peixotto, Alex Bernard, Richard Rigmaiden, Arnold Mozzetti, Reuben Rodriguez, and Johnny Bolivia. The squad also welcomes back Coach Judson Taylor this year. This track squad should be fairly well balanced. Now that war restrictions are relaxed the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League is attempting to go back to pre-war standards by having three team divisions—the unlimiteds, the I 30 ' s and the I lO ' s. The squad has one outstanding runner in Harvey Hernandez who made his first block when only a Freshman. He has won numerous first honors and placed in many other meets. Those who will be lost through graduation are Harvey Hernandez, Norval Peixotto, and Richard Rigmaiden. During the season, many lower classmen will gain valuable experience for the next year ' s squad. Some of the returning lettermen who will make the backbone of the next year ' s track squad will be Alex Bernard. Arnold Mozetti, Reuben Rodriguez, Johnnie Bolivia, Len Smith, Alfred Durazo, and Bert Madsen. LIGHTWEIGHT TRACK UPPER ROW: P. Enciso, E. Parry, D. An¬ drade, A. Br ' v n. L. Amoral, L. bamarron, L.

GIRLS’ PHVSICRL EDUCRTIOR This year s physical education program proved to be a very successful one. The girls all went out for sports In a big way with a lot of cooperation and good sportsmanship. Hockey was at the head of the list this year, and the season started off with a bang, black and blue marks, and now and then a bump on the shins; however, after the upper classmen brushed up a little on their techniques, and the freshmen became more familiar with the game, everyone took a lot of Interest, and many of the girls came out for after¬ school teams. All played very vigorously hoping against hope to win. Sixth period won the championship with high honors, and this concluded our hockey season. Basketball was next In the sports line-up and was welcomed by many. The girls were very enthusiastic, and there was quite a duel between second period and sixth, but with a lot of teamwork and good techniques, second period came out on top. With the coming of nice weather and the completion of basketball, the girls took up volley¬ ball and speedball. At the beginning of the second semester Mr. Taylor began teaching a very Inter¬ esting course In hygiene. All the students were required to take the course one day a week during their gym classes. On Monday when the freshman and sophomore girls took the course, the upper classmen played baseball or tennis; and on Wednesday the pro¬ cedure was reversed with the junior and senior girls taking hygiene and the lower classmen having free play. On other days the entire class played speedball. At the beginning of each gym period, Mrs. Nelson (better known as Teach ) gave exercises to keep us In good condition. The girls divided Into two groups; the most popular exercises were the ones which helped to take off Inches. At some time dur¬ ing the quarter each girl was graded on leading the whole group In a few exercises. During the last quarter a variety of sports was offered to the girls. One of the most Interesting of these was softball which was played by all of the gym classes. Badmin¬ ton was also offered, but a majority of the girls prefer outdoor team sports. Tennis had an unusually good turnout; probably because It Is a very good carry-over game which can be played outside of school. Track events were also enjoyed this spring, everyone running the track each gym period. Other events which were offered were high jump¬ ing, hop, skip and jump, and relays, which have not been given before. Mrs. Nelson also offered her assistance In swimming to anyone who wanted to learn to swim or Improve her technique. It Is rather hard for the senior girls to see this year come to a close, as we have had a great deal of fun and excitement throughout the past four years. We are proud of the record we are leaving behind, and we are confident that this record will be carried on by up and coming lower classmen. 53 I. Mary Corchero, Diane Avakian. 2.
