This four-room building was used un- til l876-77, when, due to the necessity for' more room, the Walnut Streeet School was built. The Walnut Street School, which cost 540,000 was a brick structure with three floors both there and a basement, and was occupied by V9 .CTT the grade and high school. The first was an enrallme o HI HHlHN HIHH HHHHHl cided that the football team and school needed school colors. He wore the colors, black and old gold, to a game and after that the school adopted these colors without discussion or voting. This has become a tradition because the school has carried these colors since that time. Washington High School is a member' of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and has a high rating. All members of the faculty have college degrees and are well-trained specialists in their fields. lockers in school faqulty was composed of nly 2 the school proved very the stu- bers, Prin?rinfrl Hamlet Allen and body.

To accommodate the advanced classes, the present high school was built in l9l3 at the cost of 365,000 Domestic art, manual training, and physical training were the studies added to the curriculum at that time. From the beginning, the high school has made an excellent record in both scholastic and athletic activities. ln l930, Washington had a State Championship basketball team of which everyone was proud. The debating and Latin contestants always make a good showing wherever they go. Allen Field was bought in 1902 for athletics. ln l9l4, basketball was started with O. P. West as coach, and the first annual was published. A football team was organized in l897 with H. C. Wadsworth, its coach. The team was trained until l9ll and then given up. How- ever, it was taken up again in l936 and has Won a prominent place in sports. ln the fall of 1897 a boy by the name of Willard Mathews, who had quit school, de- 25 paid a great compliment. The orchestra lead- er, Malcolm lohnny lohnson, who graduated from Washington High School in l9l6, wrote a Victory Song for the school, which has been copyrighted. This song was introduced at a pep session on lanuary l5, l94l, by W. H. S. band, and will take the place of our former school song. W. H. S. is very proud to be the sole possessor of this Victory March. A Student Council was started this year with Mr. Russell and Miss Schmidt as its facul- ty advisers. This council meets once a Week for a half hour to discuss the opinions of the student body about matters concerning the school and its activities. Each home room has a representative who attends these meetings and it is his duty to inform his home room what the student council is doing. At present, Mr. Clyde Parker is superintend- ent of the city schools, and Mr. H. C. Wampler is principal of the high school. The enrollment is 1,047 and the faculty numbers 40. Beverly Vollmer. Sllllltll EHHNIIH Washington High School recognizes student participation in school government as an important part of school activities. Its purpose is to secure cooperation of faculty and student body in the solution of school and com- munity problems. A still more important purpose is to give students actual experience in the exercise of their rights and obligations as citizens of the school republic, Student participation in government in any high school is subject to faculty and school regulation. Within these limits the decision of the students is final. At the beginning of the 1940-41 school year, each home room from the seventh to the senior' grade, elected their representative which constituted a total membership of thirty-two. The Council in turn elected their first officers: Eddie Brothers, president, Bill Miley, vice-president, Sylvia Pinnick, secretary, Harry Barrett, treasurer. The sponsors of the Student Council are Mr. Hosea Russell and Miss Dorothy Schmidt.

The record hung up by the Gold and Black gridders was the best made to date by any Washington Eleven. The season's record stands at four wins, three ties, and two losses. ln conference competition the Hatchets won one, tied two, and lost one. This left Washington in sixth position in SIAC SlC11'1di1'1QS- Many of the team hung up their uniforms for the last time and regret- fully finished their high school football careers. Others hung them up with the hope that next year they may again wear' them and bring fame and glory to VV. H. S. lt is the hope of all ardent football fans that next season be even more successful than last. With their spirit and determination re- maining as strong as it has in the past, Washington may look forward to many another successful season. Asst.

Rather than keep the same yell leaders each year, adding one or two if necessary, this plan was adopted: each year those who wish to try out for yell leader must lead a yell before the en- tire student body and facultyg the judges, chosen from the faculty and the student body, will then determine the final decision according to the applause. This plan proved satisfactory this year, but the applause was so close that five yell leaders, instead of the usual four, were chosen. Iulia Bollenbacher, Martha Elmore, Betty Gross, Billy Simpson, and Ray Sumner led yells for W. H. S. this year. As soon as they were chosen, the school ordered new uniforms and megaphones for all five. In a few weeks they presented several new yells which have proved successful throughout the year. We lose two of them, Martha Elmore and Betty Gross, this year, and they, along with the remaining three, have expressed their thanks to the school and the student body for cooperation throughout the entire year in helping to make WaShington's yelling section the best!

H. S. We've proudly land loudlyl cheered our teams but We shouldn't forget the man that put Washington back into the top rank of basketball notables. Coach Crawley attended DePauw, Columbia, and Butler universities and in l93l, upon his graduation, Greencastle High School had the good fortune to have him join their faculty as coach and physical education instructor. In l938, he came to Washington and proceeded to put our track, baseball, football, as Well as basketball teams on the map. Thanks to you, Coach, and We're glad that you're to be with us for another three yearsl HARRY CHICKEDANTZ Harry, as the students call him, is Coach CraWley's right-hand man as assistant coach and a member of the history department. He studied at Butler Univer- sity and the University of lllinois and in l935 when he Was graduated, Centerville, lndiana, claimed him as their coach and their history and health teacher. CBusy manll His arrival at W. H. S. in l937 is Well remembered by the students and his accomplishments far surpass even what We expected of him. Mr. Chickedantz has charge of the second team and the freshman team, and has drilled team-Work and pep into them so that they, as Well as the first team, have Won recognition. His colleagues and all the students Who know him admire and like Harry Chickedantz. We're proud to have him as a friend and teacher. 45 HlHll Marion Crawley Harry Chickedantz I HHHHH T. A.

Alu Coach Crawley's 1940 gridiron squad, having hung up the best record made to date by any Hatchet Eleven, completed the most successful season in W.H.S. football history. With each man doing his part in the lineup, with teamwork and their fighting spirit, the gridders fought their way to well deserved victories. ' Although each man did his best, there were, as on every team, a few outstanding players, whose individual feats did much to earn honor and glory for W. H. S. Iohn Dea- con Defernett, whose thrilling long-distance runs chalked up many a touchdown for the Black and Old Gold, Marion Shep Shephard, with his line plunges, which completed a first and ten at critical moments, Robert Bob Bullock, whose unerring centering was the starting point of many successful plays, foe Tutts, at end position, whose quick action was the nemesis of the opponent's end runs, these and others performed outstandingly to make the 1940 football squad the best up-to-date. This year the Hatchets hardwood squad repeated their victory of 1930 by annexing another IHSAA Championship. After having won 17 out of 22 season games, they chopped their way through the Sectional and Regional Tourneys by very decisive scores. At Vin- cennes in the Semi-Finals, Crawley's quintet first defeated Bosse and next Bedford to win the honor of playing at the Butler fieldhouse with the other finalists-Madison, Kokomo, and Proebel of Gary. ln the afternoon contest the Hatchets defeated the Kokomo Kats, 48-32. The evening game against the Madison Cubs proved to be a thriller. However, with Hook Mangin sparking the attack of the Black and Gold offense, the squad edged out their oppo- nents in the final minutes of play by a 39-33 score. This success was due largely to the fact that each player did his part at all times in order to defeat his opponent. As in all sports there were a few who were outstanding in their field. Among those in this group on the squad were: Leroy l'Hook Mangin, the Hatchets' star' forward who was selected cap- tain of the All-State Team for '41, fim Bottle Biffey, six foot-four inch center who was select- ed on the All-State Team, Bill Harmon, clever forward and another All-State choice from the Hatchets, 'lArt Grove, our most capable ball- handler, and Charles '1Chick Harmon, speedy Gold and Black guard. These, with the re- mainder' of the squad, formed the '41 State Champion Team. The remaining sports-baseball, track, and golf-have not yet attracted enough of a fol- lowing to rank among the major sports, but they are gradually ascending the steps to popularity, and will some day in the near future be classed as major sports.

When he was just beginning to find interesting facts, he received a telegram summoning him back to the university imme- diately. He packed in a hurry and raced out of the hotel to catch the next train. Before he had gone far, he discovered that he had left his um- brella in his room. Returning to the hotel, he learned that a newly- wedded couple had taken his room. As he approached the door, he heard them talking and decided it would be best to wait a few mo- ments before entering. Standing to one side of the door, he heard the groom say, Whose 'ittle mouth is that? 'lYours, cooed the bride. And whose 'ittle neck? he asked. Yours, of course, sugar plum, she replied sweetly. And whose little hands? Yours, all yours, she mur- muted. The professor had stood all he possibly could so he shouted, Lis- ten here, you two, when you come to an umbrella, that's minel Phyllis Fleenor, Senior. ir'k'k WHICH?

She was well aware of her con- science fighting her temptation. The other girls had warned her, saying, Why, Panzy, if you do that, l'm sure you'll be sorry. Everybody knows it has a dread- ful influence on ones appearance, and it wrinkles one's face, you know. Maybe your mother and dad will be able to smell it on your breath, and, Panzy, you know what the doc- tor told you! But Panzy knew what she wanted. As she neared her destination, she blinked guiltily at the gaudy lights. VVhat if someone sees me? They'd be sure to tell. Poor li'l Panzy grew panicky, but with a stiff up- per-lip she stuck out her chin and went in. As she glanced nervously around, she saw someone she knew. That awful Bill would be in here nowl Panzy snapped and, watching him, her eyes grew wide. He was com- ing toward her. lf he sits down here- Seeing that he came on, she jumped up and, holding her shamed face between her hands, ran out the door. All the way home she felt guilty, yet ashamed that she'd backed out. When she awoke the next morning, without a hangover, she decided that a double lemon-juice coke just wasnt worth it, after all.

At the rate they are working We could find none better. Those busy literary critics With pencils flying fastl Elaine and Marilyn are writing Facts about our past. Gertrude and Vonda, our artists, With colors, black and white, Draw our friend, Yehudi, With pen and ink, just right. Marietta, lean, and loyce, our typ- ists, Certainly do their part, By the time they get all the work done They should know the book by heart.

From my apartment on the second story over an empty lot I dashed down the stairs and who should I meet but my famed brother, the little man Who wasn't therel I-Ie hadn't been to visit me since the second Tuesday of next Week. I was so thrilled to see him that I completely forgot my radio engage- ment as we sat down at the break- fast table to discuss the future times we used to have together. We had a fine breakfast consisting of ghost toasties with vanishing cream, doughnut holes, and evaporated milk. Having finished this, I suddenly remembered my broadcast, so I hopped into my car, backed it out of the mirage, raced down to the studio, and arrived just as my broadcast time was over and they were playing my closing theme- song, Nobody's Baby. Invisibly yours, Yehudi. Russell Morgan Senior ir ir ir AS THE IUNIORS SEE IT It's not so long, we Iuniors say, From a Freshman 'B' to a Iunior .A. And though We may have studied hard, We've earned each grade on every card. It seems so great for us to say, We've got our lessons for today, And now that We have done our best, Well let the teachers do the rest, When we have Worked throughout the days, It helps us all in many ways: We are prepared for future life And learn to conquer later strife. The grade cards play the smaller part, They're not the idol of our heart. We're here to learn as We proceed, For knowledge is our greatest need, Our goal is near, but not complete, For We've another year to meet And though the Senior year goes fast, Its teachings will forever last.

The poor beaten Freshie went down on his knees And gazed at the Senior and begged, oh, please Would he forgive him for retarting the pace Of this lord-high mortal of the human race? Once more resuming his murderous swoop He felt a collision and had he knocked for a loop Some poor sophomore, the unlucky sap, There he sat on the floor with his books in his lap. Someone less than a Senior would have been scared to death, But as it was he muttered under his breath I'm awfully late, get out of my wayl And left the poor Soph murmuring How much does he weigh? - .., mnruqp- .W ,Y -nf' '-f- W-, CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 1941 May each of you be an influence for good in any community in which you may live.

The Senior refused to acknowledge such 'brass' And shoved on again to get to his class. The poor battered Senior thought that surely this time He could get to his class without any more crime But that wasn't to be, for he was soon hit in the face By another bold Senior who needed more space, Who since he couldn't see with his head held up high Had contacted a face as he went whizzing by. So our traveler was left on his face in the hall And the rest were swept on by the stairway brawl. Marilyn Vonderschmitt, Senior. JACOB 6. CLARK QUICK LOANS 320 to 5300 Phone 238 I-3-5 E. SOUTH ST.
