We have dusted off our globes and atlases to follow goeg- raphy and history in the making, and our interest in current events has given us a new appreciation of the past. Familiar doings take on added signifi- cance as our country fights for freedom. Old tradi- tions hold a new challenge and take on new mean- ing suited to new times.

The faculty is ready at any time for you to come to them for help. They strive to give each student the best education possible. 14 Q1 Q 2 i if 4 Q 5 4 wi E R ig 2 3 u R fa 3 R S 3. i gefuhf use Acened Mr. Gerald Alexander, now serving his second year as superintendent ot schools, is the man to Whom the people of Washington look for leadership in matters pertaining to education. ln him we have a man capable of both educational and community leadership. The superintendent ot schools and the board ot education determine the general policies of the educational system, directing the training of the boys and girls ot Washington to make them intelligent and conscientious citizens, able to meet the responsibilities which lie ahead of them. The members ot the school board, chosen by the city council, serve a term of three years. The present school board is composed of Mr. Robert Colbert, of the Hayes Motor Supply Company, presidentg Mr. Ralph G. Bixler, of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, Secretary, and Mr. Eugene Standitord, ot the Vincennes Packing Company, Treasurer. 16 amf aulin han! Leadership in W. H. S. starts with the principal. Mr. Wampler, in addition to his regular duties, such as the planning of the year's program, and super- vision of enrollment and the daily r'outine, has been very helpful in advising the best courses for boys who Want to take special army or navy training when they graduate. He is serving his eighth year as principal of Washington High School. With Mr. Wampler are his valuable office assistants. To them is dele- gated the many duties of keeping students' records, hearing excuses for absences and tardiness, answering correspondents, and a multitude of other services relative to the official administration of the school. The office assistants are: Mr. Ralph Smith, Supervisor of Attendance of City Schools, Miss Ruth Rodarmel, Secretary to the Principal, and Miss Ioyce Fitzgerald, Secretary to the Superintendent. There are also a number of student helpers. 17 aafalfzadewfzawliifalafeafm Our highly organized school systems of today are a far cry from the little one-room schoolhouse where scholars six to sixteen sat together on long wooden benches, droning the alphabet and figuring on their slatesg neverthe- less, the readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic of those days are still the backbone of our education. As we enter the main floor of the high school building, we are stopped by Miss Spitz who politely asks us to Please quiet down. Miss Spitz has taught history in Room 2l for several years. That Spanish we hear is coming from Miss Orr's room. She is a real amigo. Room 21A is occupied by Miss Watt, our school nurse, who is always kind and thoughtful to everyone. One of our most loyal faculty members, Mrs. Yenne, teaches English in Room 22. How- ever, this room is used by Mrs. Ehmann fourth period. Mrs. Ehmann is new this year and has recently been elected Dean of Girls. Mr. Wagner, our new government teacher, quickly made friends of all the students and faculty and has ably assisted Coach Scott in athletics. The first room on the south side of the building is Mrs. Lett's. She is the former Miss Williams, who returnea tc W. H. S. as a Mrs. to replace Miss Hert in the Latin department. Beloved Mr. Gehrig, who is never angered by his well-behaved English and German classes, resides in Room 28. Have you ever broken a door? The last room on this floor is the library where Miss Miller retains absolute quiet. We retrace our steps in order to take the correct stairs to the second floor. ln the first room at the top of the stairs, Hank Greenwood, our chief ear-puller, teaches physics and radio. The chemistry room is next on our tour. George Defel's classes have greatly increased in importance as a result of the war. We now come to Room 34 where we find Miss Schmidt and her Trig geniuses. She is very active in all school activities. Here is Miss Reed's room. She teaches Sophomore English and is one of the sponsors of the lnk-Ovation. Mrs. Dant teaches math in Room 37. She has made the subject interesting to a lot of students who never liked it. The next two rooms are used alternately by Mr.: Lehner and Miss Peters, our commercial teachers. Mr. Lehner has been with us for several years. This is Miss Peters' first year in our school and she has contributed greatly to the advancement of her typing and shorthand classes. 18 Mr. Floyd Bennington . . .

Engish We go down two flights of stairs to the basement. To our left are the Home Ec rooms. Both Miss Keifner and Miss Noel are new additions to our faculty this year. They are two of our youngest teachers. Mr. Hunter, a favorite of all, teaches Mechanical Drawing. You will always find him in a happy mood and ready to help wherever he is needed. All the hammering and buzzing we hear is coming from the Manual Training room. The teacher here is Mr. Bennington, a quiet, reserved man who is well liked by everyone. He is also new this year. We go via the tunnel to the old building. First we come to Miss Glezen's room, although she is seldom there. She is always out in the hall hoping to catch some poor soul who uses the wrong stairs. We really appreciate her efforts though, and we don't know what we would do without her. She teaches social studies. Miss Hyatt, history teacher, is right next door to Miss Glezen. She is a teacher with a hundred virtues. The first room on the second floor is Mr. Prater's. He teaches math and handles the financial affairs of the school. Miss Donahue, one of our faithful English teachers, has her room up here too. We pause outside of Room 73 where we see many fine drawings done by Mr. Deich's art students. Next is the music room. This is a very busy place as it is used first period by Mr. Musselman and his super band-then by Mrs. Blackmore, better known among the seventh and eighth grades but liked by all-and finally it is used by golden-voiced Miss Grimsley. Back in the corner is Mr. Iohnsons room. Be- sides teaching history and English, Mr. fohnson sponsored the lunior and Senior plays and the best annual ever. Science, the subject the eighth graders abhor, is made interesting by Mrs. Hunter. The male members of the high school were all eager to correct their speech when Mrs. Cochran was added to the faculty. fThe girls like her tool. That covers this building, but waitl No, we didn't forget Mr. Frette, our agriculture teacher. He may be way down in the basement, but we couldn't forget such a nice man. Though they always considered us the worst class ever, and we did a lot of griping about them, we realize now that our faculty is the best there is. Zl N0 3 2 1' 9 fl lf g -aQf-j - guefuf may ist N 9, Eau This year's parade of students outwardly resembles the parade of other years, but underneath there is a bit more seriousness, more thoughtfulness. The ranks are thinner, for some students could not wait for graduation to take their place in the stirring drama that is being enacted in the world. Those who remain on the school front are pictured here. 22 E l E i e t ? 5 2 3' Q. at Paul Langdon Edith Allison W eg- F . Q J.

Our debut into the social limelight, the Freshman Class Party, may have been called kid stuff by the upper classmen, but we had fun. All our work to make our Prom a big success was rewarded. It was the best ever. Now we're seniors. We have had to grow up suddenly. Responsibilities have crooked their fingers at us and said, Come on, jitterbugs, change your skirts and sweaters for a nurse's uniform, stuff your dirty cords in the rag bag, for Uncle Sam has a uniform for you, change your books for a lunch bucket and your report card for a pay check. , We've been caught between two desires, the desire for further education, and the desire to get into action. Many members of the Class of '45 have already left to join the workers on the assembly line or enter the ranks of fighting men, others have gone into special training, preparing to take the places of those who are now khaki clad. We who remained to carry on the traditional senior activities, went gaily to the long awaited Prom, but underneath there was a note of seriousness and something of the customary happy-go-lucky atmosphere had vanished. As the year closed and we sat quiet and thoughtful in our gray caps and gowns, we remembered gladly the happy years behind and looked forward courageously to those ahead. Max Allegree . . .

The results of the election were: President-lim Hammersley, Vice President-Gene Hudson, Secretary-Velma Ruggles, Treas- urer-Ierry Vance. ln the December Bond Drive, they put forth their best efforts and brought the grand total up to 53,356.85 35 ORES 7447 Jecaade knew Not yet seniors and 'lcock of the Walk nor yet sophomores and a little green around the edges, the juniors form an important part of W.

Walm Jfewaq On Friday night, March Sl, l944, the luniors presented their annual play, Hot Water Henry in the community gymnasium. This three-act comedy is the story of a young man named Henry Martin, who is constantly in hot water, because of his attempts to straighten out the affairs of his family. The Martin family's financial situation is very bad and in order to help out they decide to take in a boarder, resulting in almost every member of the family bringing home a boarder for the one room available to rent. Also several relatives drop in for an unexpected visit. Lester Price, Henry Martin's older' sisters fiancee, is very much disillusioned because Henry doesn't approve of him. In order to scare him away Henry tells Lester that Pat has a very contagious disease which causes her to have false teeth. Things happen so fast that the household is left gasping, particularly Henry, who is discovered to be at the bottom of everything. The following cast of characters portrayed the parts: Carolyn Day, Marilyn Morton, Ioyce McLemore, lanice Connerley, Helen Morris, Lola Potts, Ray Hopewell, Ray Barber, Iohn Reinsel, Iames Connerley, Bob Harris, and Paul Langdon.

S. students, and the critical comments of the visiting fans can be heard the spirited tunes of the high school band. Finally a volley of cheers announces the arrival of the teams on the field, and all eyes turn to Watch the boys begin their warming-up drills. At last the referees appear on the field and, as the teams are given final instructions by their coaches, a breathless hush prevails.

S. basketball teams have always been recognized among the best in Southern Indiana. The boys have main- tained that reputation during the l944-l945 season. Throughout the entire year the gym was crowded for every game with loyal Hatchet followers whose enthusiasm and pep inspired the team. Student Manager l :HZ David Seat, Student Manager of both basketball and football teams for the i944-1945 season, proved his spirit for W. H. S. by his loyalty and faithfulness to them. He was present and ready to help at every practice and game. David will graduate this May and his assist- ance will be a great loss to both teams. 60 Our yells and cheers were led by five capable W. H. S. stu- dents, Bill Simpson, Gene Ierger, Phyllis Kempf, Dottie Wonders, and Elsie Aeschleman. Bill, who has been yell leader for four years, left at mid-term and was replaced by Don Dayton. Gene has been With us for two years. Phyllis, Dottie, Elsie, and Don new this year, filled the posi- ggg tions like veterans. The 'llittle I-latchetsu came through another season with flying colors. Besides giving entertainment leading up to the big game on basketball nights, the team furnished a wonderful opportunity for underclassmen to gain valuable training and experience. Coach Scott gets the younger boys into shape so that they join the regular team as seasoned rather than green players. This year's team of l2 members consisted of seven fresh' men and five sophomores. First How: E. Covalt, A. Waller, B. Schillli, B Naylor, I. Hammersley, B Branaman, I. Scraper Second Row: D.

Spirit ran high in the Hatchet Gym, for never was a game given up before the last second as the Hatchets kept fighting and firing away at their goal. The I-latchets carried a regular seventeen game schedule, but played. a twenty-four game season including the New Years Day Blind Tourney, taken easily by the Hatchets, four sectional games, ond one regional game, Next year's squad will be minus six boys: Charles Black, Woody McBride, Kay Sommers, Virgil Morgan, Bob Greenwood, and Richard Ward, all seniors, who saw a majority of the action this year. There are however, many promising juniors and sophomores who stand ready to take over. ry Charles Black . . . Captain . . , ,g,f . guard . . . Senior . . . Reli- able and consistent . . .

T0 MAKE THE TEAM The Hatchets were more fortunate than most teams this year in that they did not lose any of their varsity players to the armed services before the season ended. The most exciting part of the basketball season is the tourna- ment. Washington Hatchets started their Sectionals with a hard fought battle against St. Simon's Cardinals. There was excitement and friendly rivalry between the two schools for weeks in advance. Both teams played a fine game, but the Hatchets, because of their outstanding play in the last quarter, overcame the Cardinals lead and won by a small margin. The rest of the Sectional was not easy, but the Hatchets came out victorious. The following week Washington traveled to Vincennes for the Regionals only to be defeated by Iasper in the first game.

The turn out showed that baseball is still a great favorite in Washington. Although having bad luck by dropping a number of games by one run, We showed tough competition. Our outstanding hitters were McBride, Black, Ballow and C. Hudson. No baseball team is complete with- out their pitching staff-C. Hudson, Vance, Ballow. Most of our boys will be back next year and we wish them lots of luck. First Row: I. Vance, Pitcher: C. Black, Shortstopg E. McBride, Third base Second Row: I. Wiltz, Manager: A. Rogers, Catcher, P.

At any rate music is appreciated and enjoyed by all ages, all tastes, and all peoples. From the rhythmical rum-tum of African drums, to the swelling chords of Bach and Handel, to the boogie-Woogie of Benny Goodman, music is a universal language. The band is directed by Mr. Claude Musselrnan, who has been here for two years. He has increased the instrumentation, adding an oboe, chimes, vibraphone, flute, baritone and tenor saxophones, and others. Heedless of rain or sun the band plays and performs at all football and basketball games, special community programs, parades, concerts. lt is reputed to be the busiest department of the school, as it makes fifty public appearances regularly every year. Monthly Vesper Hours are an important part of this schedule. At one of the games they thrilled the crowd by playing two swing numbers, Crazy Rhythm and Fascinating Rhythm. The war has altered many of the school departments but the band has been steadily improving in spite of difficulties. All grades, sizes, and ages are represented in this organization, and the student, although he may not intend to make music his life work, gains something for having been a member of the band.
