VOLUME TWENTY-FOUR WASHINGTON UNION HIGH SCHOOL CENTERVILLE • CALIFORNIA FOREWORD The Washingtonian staff of 1947 presents this book to the students of Washington Union High and to the Senior Class in particular, with the hope that it will serve as a re¬ minder and record of the past year. This book is designed not to be primarily a work of art, but an interpretation of student life during the past year, showing the school spirit on the sports field and in the Student Body. Action, group, and individual pictures were chosen to bring back memories of contests well fought, if not always won, to remind us of the numerous and varied activities carried on outside the classroom, and to call to mind the friends with whom we have traveled the difficult road of learning. If, in years to come, it evokes dear memories, it will not have been born in vain. CONTENTS PERSONNEL ACTIVITIES SPORTS 5 TRUSTEES Once again the students of Washington Union High School would like to extend their congratu¬ lations and thanks to our trustees: Mr. Harrold, Mr. Enos, Mr. Alanneda, Mr. Logan and Mr. Scott, for their activities during the past year. They are carry¬ ing on one of the highest types of community service, the maintenance and the development of our public schools. These five members of the Board of Trustees, working with Mr. Gould, and Mr. Gravestock, are formulating plans for the development of our facili¬ ties to meet the greatly increasing enrollment. Our Trustees have always backed up our athletic programs and are now making plans for new im provements, such as lights on the football field. This has been a year of excellent achievement and the members of the student body greatly appreciate the services the Board of Trustees has given so will¬ ingly to our school. MR. ALAMEDA MR. ENOS MR. HARROLD MR. SCOTT MR. LOGAN ■ I s -J 1 ;. Keeping an ever-watchful and loving eye on his large and growing family is our superintendent and friend, J. V. Soold, affectionately known to all of us as Pop . Daily returning grads seek him out in room two to shake his hand and reminisce and thank him for past courtesies and inspiration. All of us, from mighty Seniors to the most timid Freshman, find ourselves proud to be included in his ever-increasing family. When we are out of step, he puts us right; when we are lost, he helps us to find our¬ selves; when we are in the dark, he shines the light for us—for he is always on the beam and we are proud to call him Our Pop . 1 I PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE 9 WARREN E.

Student Council Under the leadership of our president Mel- ford Alameda, and our Student Council, the Associated Students of Washington Union High School have completed their eighteenth year of student government. One of the most important duties of the Stu¬ dent Council is to provide entertainment for the student body assemblies. In addition to student talent shows and athletic assemblies the Council secured three professional entertainers. The Council also sold refreshments at games and attended two conventions. The members of the Council were: Melford Alameda, president; LeRoy Moora, vice-presi¬ dent; Ruth Cotton, secretary; Stella Andriozzi, treasurer; Kathy Amaral, yell-leader; Gerald Nunes, boys ' athletic manager; Edna Lewis, girls ' athletic manager; Rosella Lorenson, cafeteria bookkeeper; Dorothy Costa, Girls ' League presi¬ dent; Jackie Lewis, Hatchet editor; Victor Fra¬ colli, Thelma Logan, Thelma Santos, represent¬ atives at large; Beth King, Annual editor.

DAVE PRIEGO KATHERINE VIVEIROS LEONARD SMITH SENIORS • 1947 CORA PEREZ LESLIE HALLIDAY TOMMY CARDENAS On the Sunday of June 15. 1947, connnnencement exercises were held for 131 gradu¬ ates of Washington Union High School. This nunnber includes six nnembers of our class who are in the services and I I Evening High School members. The Senior Class will look back through the years to this day v hich marked the end of four glorious years. The Seniors started the year off with a bang and In October, 1946, they had their first Sneak Day. This Sneak Day was an extra one given to them by Pop Gould, for their good sportsmanship in eliminating Scrub Day. During the last semester, the Seniors were hosts to the eighth graders. An inkling of what the future Freshmen would encounter next year was illustrated by the Student Body assembly given in their honor by the Seniors. Senior assembly, a highlight of Senior Week, was an opportunity for the Seniors to bid Pop, the Faculty, and the kids a farewell deep from the heart. On June I 5, 1947, the Seniors untied their diplomas, dabbed at those ever persisting terms, and waved goodbye to their dear old alma mater. Our wholehearted thanks and appreciation go to our advisors: Mrs. Nelson, Mr. Hirk, Mr. Thornburg, Mr. Cxborrow, Mrs. Hartsog, Mrs. Souza, Mrs. Smith and last but cer¬ tainly not least, Pop, for the help and assistance they have given to make our four years at W.U.H.S. truly unforgettable ones. 13 MARY ABEL MELFORD ALAMEDA JUANITA ALONZO KATHERINE AMARAL LLOYD AMARAL STELLA ANDRIOZZI SENIORS • 1947 DONALD ANGLE JAMES BAKER LESTER BEN BOW ALEX BERNARD JOHN BISHOP JOHN BOLIVIA JOHN BOLIVIA CHARLOTTE BROWN ANTHONY BUCOL CYRUS CALDEIRA MARJORIE CALLOW ALDEN CHAMNESS ROSETTA CLARK EVA CORCHERO DOROTHY COSTA RUTH COTTON RONALD COZZI EVELYN DE COSTA DOROTHY DE PONTE FLORICE DE VINCENZI MARY DUARTE ANTHONY DUTRA MILDRED ENOS DIANE FERRARIS VICTOR FRACOLLI GENEVIEVE FREITAS FRANK FRIES BARBARA FURTADO ISABELLE GARCIA TOMMY GARCIA ANDY GARDETTO FRANK GOMES RITA GOMES LORRAINE GONZALVES MARY GOULARTE MARIAN GREEN GERTRUDE GUERRA CLEO HALFORD LA DAUN HARTING LAVINA HAYES SOPHIE HERNANDEZ FREEDA HESTER SENIORS • 1947 SATSAKO ICHIMOTO ROSEMARY JANEIRO MARY JARAMILLO COLLEEN JIBSON SACHIKO KAMIJI GORDON KIBBY BETH KING EDNA LEWIS JACQUELYN LEWIS LILLIE LIETCH THELMA LOGAN PAT LOPEZ ROSELLA LORENSON RAYMOND LUIZ BURT MADSEN ROBERT MAYOCK CHARLES MECH RUDOLPH MENDONCA LEWIS MENEZE RICHARD MEYERS LE ROY MOORA FRANCIS MONTE JACK MOSER ROBERT MOTOZAKI ARNOLD MOZZEHI MARY ANN MURRELL JIRO NAKAMURA MERVIN NEVES ELEANOR NUNES GLORIA NUNES PLACY PAREDES ALVINA PERRY DORIS PHIPPEN LORETTA PIERCE RUTH PIERCE DOLORES PINE rK-.f ' r ' ' - fes avM BONNIE POOL DOLORES QUARTAROLI DON QUERNER EUGENE ROBINSON LLOYD RASH JOSEPH RODERICK DOLORES ROSE GEORGE ROSE HAROLD ROGERS LAWRENCE SAMARRON ARTHUR SANTOS THELMA SANTOS MAGUILA SENO JACK SCOTT WALTER SENN ALVIN SILVA BEATRICE SILVA BETTY SILVA ELAINE SILVA GLADYS SILVA LORRAINE SIMAS MILDRED SOARES ANNABELLE VARGAS CAROLYN VARGAS KEN YAMANAKA NEF ZENDEJAS MARJORIE BOHANNAN TONY GOULARTE MANUEL MACIEL LILLIAN TABASH JOHNNY CONNERS ROBERT LAYBOURNE SENIORS ♦ 1947 RALPH RUNOLFSON PRATT TRUSCOTT With three down and one to go the Junior Class is almost at the end of its goal.

FRANCES Organized for the primary purpose of bringing the girls together with feelings of unity and friendliness, the league consists of all the girls at school from the moment they enter, to the day of their graduation. The league, which was founded in 1919 by Miss E. Marie Sanholt, was temporarily discontinued in 1944 because of war conditions. In 1945 ' he league was again organized. The league began ' lany activities this year by wel¬ coming the Freshm .n girls at Big-Little Sister Day. On December 4, in cooperation with the Washington Union High P.-T. A., the Girls ' League sponsored the football dinner honoring the football squads. Throughout the year, a number of vocational speakers have given interesting talks to the girls. The treasury was enlarged this year by the selling of Washingtonian transfers. These activities, under the supervision of the Dean of Girls, Miss Knoles, were planned and carried out under the leadership of Dorothy Costa, president; Catherine Veverious, vice-president; Mary Abel, secretary; and Diane Ferraris, treasurer. The committee chairmen were: Joan Berney, Ways and Means; Barbara Furtado, Hospi¬ tality; and Mary Goularte, Program. GIRL ' S LEAGUE MISS KNOLES. D. COSTA TOP ROW. left to right; A. Aguiar, M.

Our band, led by majorettes Dolly Silveria, Carol Perry and Cora Perez, helped to brighten many football games. The orchestra supplied the music for the Senior Play and other occasions. The voices of the Music Makers, the very appropriate name given to our glee club, were heard throughout the year in various plays and on graduation. Due credit must go to Mrs. Thornburg, tor conducting music classes for lower classmen. The Music Department this year was really a credit to Washington Union High School.

PlEXOnO, J. LEWIS MISS KNOLES. J. LEWIS The Hatchet, Washington ' s chief source of school news, has been a regular part of school life since 1916. The uneasiness of the students in their fourth period classes on every other Friday, assure us that it could not be any¬ thing less than distribution of the Hatchet at noon time. The Hatchet is a four page paper consisting of four columns on each page. The first page includes all of the most important news. The second page consists of edi¬ torials and the gossip column. The third page contains personalities, fashions, bandstand, and always a few jokes. Both boys ' and girls ' sports appear on page four. A great deal of the planning of the Hatchet has been done by Jacqueline Lewis, editor; Marvin Peixoto, asso¬ ciate editor; and Diana Crossman, business manager. Most of the success the Hatchet has had this year could not have been attained without our faculty advisors. Miss Knoles, and Mr. Kibby. With their advice and assistance, our paper has proven itself successful, and to them we owe many thanks. Good scholarship is a valuable and necessary asset to any school, and our society chapter III of the California Scholarship Federation which had a nnembership of 38 students, shows that our school is not lacking in this ele¬ ment. This society is maintained to recognize those students whose work, in solid subjects, total ten points. In order to apply for membership in the Scholarship Society a stu¬ dent must earn ten points during the preceding semester. A in a solid subject is equal to 3 points, B in a solid subject is equal to I point. An extra point may also be earned through extra-curricular activities. This method of extra points has not been used for quite some time, but was brought back because of popular demand. The society enjoyed many activities, one was a trip to the Tropical Gardens in San Francisco, and a talent assembly held in May, and a formal initiation held in the late winter. Life members of the Federation who had been members for six semesters were: Beth King, Dolores Rose, Ruth Cotton, Rosella Lorenson, Marjorie Callow. This year ' s officers were: President, C. Perez; Vice- President, B. King; Secretary, B. Graw; Treasurer, A. Aguiar; Program Chairman, D. Crossman. C. PEREZ, E. M. DOANE TOP ROW, left to right: D. Grossman, S. Furtado, J. Sllveria, J.

The Rally Committee was organized for the first time - this year, under the leadership and direction of Mr. Loze. The duties of the Rally Committee are: to keep spec- tators off the football field during games; to help direct D || OIYllTllttOO the parking of cars; and to see that students stay in the I A.CI I ■ w llllllll I w v? stands until the end of the game. _____ The group was also in charge of the rallies held before ■ ■ the games to build up school spirit. The officers were: Le Roy Moora, president; Bobby De Salles, decorating chairman; and Mr. Loze, Advisor. We have long been in need of a Rally Committee and it is hoped that the group will continue its fine work. TOP ROW, left to right: J. Meeker. P. Vallerga, C. Caldeira, D. Leask, J. Baker.

These girls, along with Miss Carmody, held a meeting once a month to discuss what the Red Cross could do. There was also a monthly meeting in Oakland, attended by two representatives from each school. One of the major projects this year was the making of clothing for the children in Europe. Junior Red Cross 33 BOYS ' W ' CLUB D. QUERNER The Boys ' Block W Club entered a very active and successful year last September. The first activity supported by the Club was the selling of student body cards. The annual W Club Dance was held on December 20th, the theme being Winter Wonderland. The dance was given jointly by the Boys ' and Girls ' Clubs. This dance introduced a new factor to school dances. Bids were given to guests as an experiment. This experiment proved very successful and will be a regular feature at school dances in the future. There was a decided increase in membership this year due to 130 Football and 110, 120 Basketball. This increase in membership made it necessary to have two initiations for new members. The first was held in March, the second in May. To top the year off there was the annual picnic which was as usual an outstanding success. In all, the year was a very enjoyable and successful one for all the members, who were led by Don Querner, President; Len Smith, Vice-President; and Dave Priego, Secretary-T reasurer.

The Other Wise Man, was presented on Sunday af¬ ternoon, December 22. before an attentive audience. The pageant is the story of Jesus who was born in Beth¬ lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the King, behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East, and have come to worship Him. The reader was Carolyn Vargas, Artaban was portrayed by Fred Duffie, Abdus by Melvin Lewis, and Rhodaspus by Jack Gaunt. Jack Moser was Tigranes, James Moora was Zoras, and Frank Peterson was Abgarus. They were supported by Ruthie Cotton, Don Querner, Frank Reis, Donald Correa, Jackie Lewis, Cora Perez, James Herring, Raul Guerra, James Duarte, Ellen Freitas, Georgia Laugh- lin, Albert Alberts, Joan Dutra, Barbara De Borba, crowd and the choir.

Dramatics Club The Dramatic Club has proven that it ' s reorganization was timely and justified and promises to be one of the school ' s leading organizations. The club is under the ex¬ cellent leadership of Mrs. Hartzog. The forty members of this club met on the first Thursday of every month for their meetings, over which Diane Fer- raris, president of the club, presided. The position of vice- president was filled by Katherine Amaral, and the secre¬ tary-treasurer was Bonnie Pool. The members studied many different forms and types of drama and enjoyed the plays which they attended throughout the year. One of their main activities was the production of class¬ ical plays which were presented before English classes, and other types of plays were presented before the Stu¬ dent Body. The very fine work that this industrious club did this past year was enjoyed by everyone. We hope that this organization continues to be as successful as it was this year. MRS. HARTZOG, D.

The custodians hold a very important role in the life here at V ashington Union High School. A few of the many things for which we have them to thank are: warm rooms on cold mornings, clean and pol¬ ished rooms free from dirt and scratches, beautiful school grounds, exceptionally good meals, transportation to and from school and numerous other services. Each custodian has his own special job. Mrs. Nunes and Mrs. Gardetto working away in the girls ' gym, while Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Lewis are busy cooking in the kitchen. Keeping the classrooms and halls clean is the joint duty of Mr. Alfred Andrade and Mr. Joe Dutra. Outside, working in the garden, we may find Mr. An- tone Andrade busy with the plants. Mr. Marks and Mr. Silva drive busses. A round of applause is surely deserved by the work of our faithful custodians. CUSTODIANS V. ROSE. N. ROGERS. E. LEWIS. C. GARDEHO A. ANDRADE, C. NUNES, G.

A lthough hampered by early season injuries to key players, the Huskies came through in grand fashion in the latter part of the season to end up in second place tie in the S.C.V.A.L. standings. The Huskies chalked up three wins, two losses and one tie in league play while they were getting a pair of de¬ cisive victories and one tie in their practice encounters. In the practice games they trounced Livermore and San Jose Tech and tied a rough Jefferson aggregation at Daly City. In their league contests they toppled Campbell, Fremont and Gilroy; tied Santa Clara; and were taken into camp by Los Gatos and Mountain View. The Huskies played two night games this year, with both the Santa Clara and Gilroy contests being played under the lights. In the all S.C.V.A.L. selections, two Washington men. fullback captain Alex Bernard and ace center Bert Madsen took first string berths on the honor squad, with tackle Don Querner and Guard Phil Encisco placing on the second team and right half Len Smith took honorable mention. Lost through graduation will be Jiro Nakamura, Jack Moser, Mel Alameda, Vic Fracolli, Don Querner, Ronald Cozzi, Lawrence Samarron, Mervin Neves, Bert Madsen, Charles Meek, Alden Chamness, Len Smith. Harold Rogers. Dave Priego and Alex Bernard. Returning lettermen are Jerry Morley, Jim Herring, Art Hughes, Phil Enciso, Dan Goularte, Roger Halliday, Ruben Rodriguez, Joe Salvadore, and Andy Graber. With these lettermen and others up from the I 30 squad, the prospects are very bright for the 1947-48 season. A LJ A Wiki cce D U Al I IHAY D. GOULARTE C. MECH n PRIEGO G. KIBBY D. ANDRADE A.

The 130 ' s are not rejects from the varsity, but are simply the fellows who are lighter In weight and too young to play on the varsity. Getting off to a good start the Puppies trounced the Livermore eleven by a score of 37 to 7. This game was an easy victory and gave all the Inexperienced fellows a chance to play. Running Into their first league competition against a tough Los Gatos team the Puppies displayed their ability by outrunning and outscoring the Wildcats 13-0. The toughest loss of the season was at Mountain View, when our boys dropped a well-played game 7-6. Toward the end of the season the Pups showed what they were really made of by defeating a hustling Gilroy team 14-13. It seemed In this game that our B ' s un¬ corked every trick In the book, again showing their strength not only In the line but In the backfleld as well. Despite the yards gained and passes completed the 30 ' s dropped their last game of the season to Fremont by a score of 6-0. With the exception of a few players who will move up to the varsity next year, you will most likely see our 30 ' s back again with that same old fighting spirit and sports¬ manship which was displayed this year. This year the Washington HI Huskies had what may be called a luckless season. They closed the season with two wins and six losses In league competition. In these six losses the total difference of points between the Huskies and their opponents was 20 points which makes an av¬ erage of 3 points difference In each game, compared to the 22 point total difference In games won. Through the fine coaching of Clyde Voorhees the boys fought hard and always gave their opponents a tough battle making each and every game a thriller. Chosen all S.C.V.A.L. forward and one of the three highest scorers In the league was JIro Nakamura who will be missed by next year ' s team. Other graduating players are Alex Bernard, Jack Moser, Leslie Halllday, Lawrence Samarron, Don Querner, and Victor Fracolll. Returning lettermen are: Ruben Rodriguez, Dan Goularte, Art Hughes, Andy Graber, and Gilbert Orozca. With these returning players the coaches expect to see a good season next year.

In prac¬ tice games the boys won five out of ten, usually playing schools with larger enrollments. The outstanding player on the squad was Mel Alameda, whose control of the backboard and general ball handling was excellent. Other seniors who will be missed next year are Dave Priego, Len Smith, Walt Senn, and Bob Moto¬ zaki. Men returning for another year of competition are Joe Sankene, Lawrence Fernandez, Irving Alameda, Gilbert Martinez, Jess Corrales, Bill Pereira, and Tom Hashimoto. The high flying Washington Huskies had a most suc¬ cessful season this year. The team ' s backbone was the seven lettermen from last year including hard-hitting Mel Alameda behind the plate; Alex Bernard, a dangerous batter, on first; Le Roy Moora and Dave Priego, both smooth workers in the infield, speedy Len Smith and Alvin Silva in the outfield, and on the mound Jiro Lefty Naka¬ mura, ace chucker for the Huskies. Of these seven only Alvin Silva will return next year. Next year Coach Hird will look to the following as val¬ uable prospects: Irving Alameda, pitcher; Vernon Machado, shortstop; Laurence Fernandez, Joe Salvador and Alvin Silva will make up the outfield.

Coach Taylor ' s men were ex¬ ceptionally strong and gave other teams in the league a lot of competition. Brown, Sankene, Rogers, Durazo and Smith of the B squad made a good showing. Members of the A squad who made creditable per¬ formances were: Bernard, Chamness, Correia, Alameda, Andrade, Halliday, Duffie, Rash, and Moora. There were dual meets with Gilroy, Los Gatos, Santa Clara, Mt. View, and three-way meets with Fremont and Campbell. With many returning for another year of competition the 1948 squad should be an outstanding one. A. BROWN, A. DURAZO ROGERS C D SPORTS TOP ROW, left to right: G. Rego, C. Fernandez, D. Elizzary, P.

The show has been a big event in this high school and is under the direction of Coach Hird aided by Coaches Voorhees and Taylor. The referee was Boxing Coach De Portal of San Jose State College. The judges were Sam Della Maggiore, wrestling and boxing coach at San Jose High School, and Herb Hudson, head coach at Campbell High School. There were ten three-round bouts, and all of them were good, for there was never a dull moment. The participants of the show were: R. Rodriguez, L. Samarron, A. Cham¬ ness, D. Goularte, J. Scott, P. Enciso, N. Zendejas, J. Ledesma, A. Figueroa, A. Bernard, D. Priego, J. Salvador, A. Silva, L. Rose, H. Rogers, D. Duran, J. Corrales, D. Elizzary, R. Saucedo, J. Borge, R. Guerra, A. Gardetto, D.

As the annual goes to press our Washington High ten¬ nis teana, connposed of seven men, seems to be rounding into a smooth-working tennis combination. Under the able direction of Coach Rehrig, the team Is expected to put up a good fight for possession of the league tennis title. Those members who formed the backbone of this year ' s squad were: Roger Halllday, Leslie Halllday, Jack Moser, Vic FracollI, and Andy Graber. These players should win their blocks fairly easily. Playing against stiff competition, the team will play seven league matches and about seven more practice matches. Roger Halllday, Leslie Halllday, and Andy Graber were our singles players while Jack Moser, Vic FracollI, Johnny Bishop, Bob LIzardo, and Don Querner played doubles. Varsity players who will be back next year are Roger Halllday, Andy Graber and Bob LIzardo. R. HALLIDAY TOP ROW, left to right: A. Graber, L. Halliday, V. FracollI, J. Bishop. BOTTOM ROW: B.

Both instructors taught the girls the techniques of many popular sports. Hockey was the first sport played this year as usual, and sixth period was the victor in the hockey champion¬ ship playoff in after-school sports. Basketball was the sport played during the winter months. There was quite a battle between fourth and second periods for the championship, however, second period proved that they had the better team by attaining first place in basketball. with the warm weather coming very early this year, the girls were able to enjoy a good deal of their volleyball games outside. After a few weeks of volleyball the girls decided to go Into something a little more rugged. Soccer was the answer, but since there were so many casualties Teach thought It would be a good Idea to try speedball. As the Washingtonian goes to press, Sixth and Seventh periods are tied for the after school championship In volleyball. The third quarter has been going by very rapidly, and the girls are all looking forward to baseball. The senior q’rls, v ho are proud of the record they are leaving behind them, hope that the remaining classmen have all the fun, and excitement that they did throughout their four years In high school.
