E IOR CLASS It was in the fall of 1959 that the Class of '62 first entered the halls of Washington High School, bringing with them a quiet but intensive spiritf, As freshmen, we had become the second group to participate in the developmental science-mathematics group, which was contin- ued through our high school years. As sophomores we were given Wrong directions by the upperclass- men. But, under the direction of Mrs. Mary Hafner, our newly appointed class adviser, we adjusted to high school life and got into the swing of things. To guide us through the year, we elect- ed Dick Schmotter, president 5 Angela Testa, vice president 3 Mary Wood, secretary, and Bruce Van De Walker, treasurer. One of our experiences as sophomores was sponsoring the tradi- tional student-faculty basketball game. The faculty, by the way, was spurred on to victory by their char'rning', cheerleaders. Our first year at Washington was a year of many new experiences. One of these was our first Homecoming. We remember the excite- ment during the coronation assembly and the game and danoe that followed. That Christmas we witnessed our first O.S.K. We became a part of it and joined others in the heart-warming spirit of giving. Adviser Mrs. Mary Hafner 10

HISTORY That year was really the year for sports 5 The hockey team went all the way to the State Tournament, and fought victoriously for the state runner-up trophy. That was also the year that the base- ball team won the Region IV Championship. Well, those months sped by, and, before we knew it, we were jun- iors. As the Junior Class, we sponsored a successful Christmas card and candy sale to assist us in our preparation for the Junior- Senior Prom CBali-Hai-South Seas Paradisej, our farewell to the graduating seniors. In the spring of that year, we got a crack at the world of the thea- ter by putting on our class play, a melodrama, Way Down Eastf' Our officers for that busy year were Bob Hall, president g John Buehler, vice president 5 Mary Wood, secretary 5 and Maurine John- son, treasurer. Summer came soon that year, and when we entered Washington again we were seniors. We realized the finality of being seniors as we took part in our last Homecoming, O.S.K., and Sno-Day. To lead us through the year, we elected Bob Hall, president, An- gela Testa, vice president 3 Pat Barnes, secretary, and Al Krause, treasurer. All through the year reigned the excitement of graduation, just around the corner. Pretty soon we no longer would be students of Washington, but alumni. As alumni we would look forward to the time when we can proudly return to our alma mater.
