Upon entering this institution of higher learning, we were royally enter- tained by the senior class of Ianuary, l938, at a Freshie Frolic that we will long remember. The coveted crowns of king and queen were bestowed on the heads of Charles Dietz and lean Blenkinsop. The next class meeting took the form of a sixth term party in the gym on May 7, l940. Vic Atiyeh and Eloise Tolman acted as co-chairmen and as the old saying goes, a wonderful time was had by all. Then on the memorable day of May l3, we had our first class organization and elected as our president, Vic Atiyeh. The other officers elected were Betty Decker as vice-president, lean Hoskins as secretary, Bob Bell as treas- urer, Dick Taylor as sergeant-at-arms, George Hermann as editor and Bob Scott as business manager. Mr. Tolvstad and Miss Oberg were chosen to be class advisors. ln our seventh term, the girls had a very successful tea in the library for the new girls in the school. Lois Niles directed the tea capably and an en- joyable program was presented. Soon our goal was reached, for on lanuary 20, we went to our classes as graduating seniors. After some of us had settled a few difficulties concerning English 8, we merrily started on our careers. The first thing we did was to welcome the Ianuary Class of 1945 at a Freshie Frolic on February 20. Little Billy Anderson and Laura Belle Gardner were placed on the throne as king and queen, and we hope that the freshies enjoyed the frolic as much as we seniors. On the day of April 24, our class was saddened by learning of the death of one of our classmates, lune Westberg, and in memory of her, we sent flowers. On May l and 2, our class put on its class play, You Never Can Tell, by Bernard Shaw. lt was a success and a credit to the talented actors, and appreciation is due to the many students who offered their time and especially to Mr. Matson. Now the time of our graduation drew near and we attended our Baccalaur- eate services on Iune l. Despite the tradition of our school, our Senior prom was held on the night before graduation. The dance was a Very successful affair with wonderful decorations, music and refreshments. Finally the great day came on lune 5, when, dressed in our caps and gowns, we received our much awaited diplomas and turned the tassels on our caps as graduates of the Iune, l94l Class of Washington High School.
