6 6 CLASS HISTORY G Freshie Froiic, October '32 Senior Just as the seniors had done lor us four years ago, so we tool: it upon ourselves to entertain and welcome the new Freshmen to Washington. We sincerely hope that they enjoyed the party as much as we enjoyed giving it. Vaudeville, October '32 It was surprising how much talent we found for our senior vaudeville. We were handicapped by a Financial depression, but there is no doubt but what this vaudeville was one of the best ever given. Class Play, November '32 On November '18 and '19, the class play, The Swan, by Molnar, was pre- sented. It was judged by many the best class play that had ever been presented at Washington for many a year. The class is deeply indebted to Mr. Matson, who so ably coached their play. Baccalaureate Sermon, January '33 The sermon gave us many things to think about along with our departure from school. We have realized that graduation is only a step, the commencement of new, more useful lives. Commencement, January '33 Alter four long years, we have at last reached our goal, The happy times we have had here at school are only memories now-gone forever but certainly never forgotten.

Sophomore Year, January '30-January '31 During this year our attention was centered mostly on our studies. Junior Year, January '31-January '32 After over two years of hard worlc, we decided to give ourselves a class party. This necessitated a discussion which was very informal, but which nevertheless marlced our first class meeting. The Sixth Term Party, '31 Senior Plenty of hard worl4 by the various committees resulted in a very good party which was enjoyed by all. Year, January '32-January '33 Thus we entered .January '32 with all the enthusiasm necessary to malce the last year the best.
