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.

GIRLS’ LERGUE Founded in 1919 by Miss E. 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

ujnsHinGTonmn At the end of every school term students anxiously await their copies of the Wash¬ ingtonian. 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.
