Zhi: cv f r rf I IR OVERACKER M LC N NR OLIVEIRA MR FRANCIS MP HARROLJ jzumiws In the hands of tive loyal men and true rests the guidance of this school To plan wisely these men must take into account prevailing conditions and at the sarne tirne keep an eye to the future During this critical year our Board of Trustees has continued an alert and for ward looking policy Government requests for specialized training ot youth to meet War needs have been answered by the addition ot new courses and the reernphasizing of others Special equipment has been provided for the rigorous program of physical training prescribed for boys by our government The offer ing in mathematics has been enlarged and in both day and evening schools technical courses ot a practical nature are being offered Our trustees have realized that to neglect the education ot the future citizens of this democracy IS to lose the peace tor which this war is being fought. To Mr. Overacker, Mr. Logan, Mr. Oliveira, Mr. Harrold, and Mr. Francis, we, the Student Body ot Washington Union High School otfer our deep gratitude. 8 I PMSS LVAC IAJ The government ot the Unrted States has repeatedly made the statement that it needs the aid t education today more than ev r before in the history of the nation The scho ls are really a part of the victory assem lv lines because they de- velop in the stuaents the abilities and slfills necessary not only to the armed torces but also to that great army ot workers behind the scenes We must have recruits for both of these armies if our aenvocratic institutions are to be preserved Those ot you students who are graduating l believe are well equipped to fill your place in the world because you have registered for the refresher mathe matics the necessary shop physics home nutrition and other courses geared to meet the urgent need The seriousness of purpose shown by the whole student body of Washington Union High School in this second year of war has proved without doubt that each memcer is keenly aware that history is in the making that the peace time scale of values must be abandoned that young people must consequently shoul- der heavier loads. Upon student s realization cf this changing order depends the tuture ot our country. 9 Jrwdflf I TW' YW BPD 'JN Cf'-QLFCN BROWN LUFAIWE COLD' S E'f','f- DT!-'-f 'XUPIIL FCQPNIEV JH-:PEN ffRf1vfQT2C X1 C 'ARLOTTF HATCH ORFNA I vLfv V N 4 FPACE JACKSON MUCH KIBBY CRATE KNO IOREVA LANGEBERC DCPIS I ACHADO WILLIAM MYTIF CKSEPI-IINE MORRIS CIS NE SAN DOROIHFA OPMCBW V 'PWBL ' If Wm LIAJ f 1 ' J I IQ , IAN' IP I, f- I IQU -1 1 - HQ I L L X, LIN If if-EPS LI-'JIUPI MJ W - JA ' VAN VVI'.K,f 5 QL-w sin ' f'I I .351 ,HT er Row Eelyr B t a Q cor e fr 11 me au e Edrtor Glorta Furta o Gtrs are e e a fs At Mana re P-terra ues Program Cha rms Wav C5 t-our L att o s Juv 3 urn Ma a r La V Q rn s r Q 'a Gorr s R u 3 Lower Row Mar e Bra w are Reo t tu v tv v r s mar o senta tv prvwt xr The Student Counc1l rs composed of all the regularly elected Student Body otfrcers and a representatrve from each class Thrs group ot students acts as the admmlstratwe board for the assocrated students Some of the rmportant dutres of the Student Councrl are to plan the budget for the school year and to approprrate sums of money for the varrous school organ1 zatrons The Councrl makes the d9ClS1ODS on the presentatrons of all assemblles and sets the dates for the many student actrvrtres The Councll s prrncrpal aCt1v1t1es th1s year began Wllh the student body Card sale drrve and contrnued wrth the sale throughout the year of war savmgs stamps The members also presented a h1lar1ous assembly that was much en 1oyed by 'he student body as well as sponsormg several specral assembl1es of outs1de talent The advrsers are M1 s Leachman Mr Rees and Mr Goold Y ED COSTA PERRY ALLEN LORRAINE ALAMEDA Pres den?

Several activities planned prior to the war were regrettully canceled. Chief among these was the District Convention to be held here. However, all members who had totaled the required number of points were given their scholarship pins. The system of awarding pins has changed, somewhat, from that of previous years. An A in a half solid now counts three points, equal to the number of points in a solidg and a B counts one point. This year no points were given for extracurricular activities. This has proved to be a successful year with three members receiving the life membership pin which is their reward for six semesters of membership. The officers for the year were: president, Ernest Machadog vice-president, Charlotte Lewisy secretary, Ebba Rae Benbowg program chairman, Sally Logan: advisers, Miss Collins and Miss Rogers. 27 9 1 During this, the i942-43, school term, the editor, Maxine Mau, as well as the advisers, lvfiss Knoles and Mr. Kirby, and the staff have endeavored to uphold the jxgxrnaltstic standards of the Hatchet. Aiding the editor were the associate editors, Harriett Dias and Rosemary Mca Donald, liusiness manager, Herbert Dutray and Lillian Harvey and Ernie Machado, girls' and boys' sports editors. After Christmas it was found necessary to decrease the publication from a five column to a four colunin paper ltut the staff has tried to maintain the inter- esting features. On the first page various school activities and general subjects are found. Editorials, the staff, and personal itenis are found on page two. Book reviews, Personalities, Former Students and Band Stand are found on page three and on the fourth page are the sports and Future Farmer news. The paper is made available to the students with student body cards and also is sent to alumni in the armed services. Upper Row: L Gcularto, l-l. Dutra, R. Tuchsm, F. Machado, E. Brazil, E. Machado.

Its object is to promote physical efficiency, good sportsmanship, good companionship, and to create interest in athletics among the boys. Any boy, who has earned a block in a competitive sport and who has been duly initiated, is eligible for membership. Once a member he has the privilege of admittance to all games played on the home grounds, to vote, and to hold office in the organization. The Boys' Club in cooperation with other organizations sponsored a dance, directed the Student Body Card Drive, ushered at the annual Vodvil, and financed the annual football dinner which was attended by two former coaches. How to Handle Guns, by Major Ierry Wallace, an interesting and instructive assembly, was also presented by the club. ,The club functioned successfully under the guidance of the president, Kenneth galhoung vicerpresident, Reuben Ramos: Secretary and treasurer, Kenneth Hallenp adviser, Coach Hird. 3I Banal The Washington Union High School Band is open to all students who appreci- ate the fun and relaxation afforded by playing a musical instrument. The band plays, or rather it did play, at all football games until the war put an end to inter- school contests. The baton is wielded by our capable maestro, Mr. Thornburg, whose duties are not confined to the band alone but to the orchestra as well. This orchestra plays at all dramatic productions presented by the school as well as for many of our assemblies. The orchestra added life and setting to the senior play by its rendition of Gilbert and Sullivan tunes before the first curtain and between acts. The members also expect to play for the senior commencement. The school also has classes for beginners who are interested in learning to play an instrument and furnishes instruments for the use of pupils who do not have their own. Altogether these musical groups add much to our school life. er Ro J e Galvf'i,Ern1e Pire, Tor-y Lacerfia, Jack Swaf- Frank Silva Ernest Mamie, Funk Ftores.

Ordinarily the F. F. A. is one ofthe school's most active organizations, and this year has been no exception. Although such entertaining features as the skating party, attendance at judging contests, and field trips had to be given up because of the difficulty of transportation the members found a great deal to do. Meetings were held regularly with a View to planning activities and promoting better projects. An especially pleasant one was a luncheon at which the chair- man of the Farm Bureau was present. As a part of their work program the F. F. A. has built tomato beds, and dried two pounds of tomato seed. Members have also sponsored a Victory Garden drive which they advertised by means of a food display in the main hall.

This year the Washington Huskers wondered if they would be able to have football when the opening of school was postponed to allow tor tomato picking and other necessary work. However they found field work a fine beginning tor the season and turned out for practice as soon as school began. The spirit oi the team was exceptionally good in practice although there were only two games to look forward to. The first one was played with Livermore on Armistice Day. After a hard iight- ing game the Huskers came out on top with a score ot 2628. The Huskers' next game was with the all star alumni team. The alumni picked many tine players from some ot Washington's teams in the past years and after a rugged game the Huskers were defeated with a score ot l4-O. The seniors who turned in their suits tor the last time this tall were Captain Keri Calhoun, Ken Hallen, Reuben Ramos, Moses Oliveria, Frank Silva, Frank Rogers, 42 --1.99 Top Row: H. Chiang, W. Martinez, T, Lira, S. Alameda, A. Gomes, Coach Hird, Lower Row: E, Leon, H. Mesquite, N. Silva, M. Oliveira, L. Laudenslager, P. Allen. Frank Perry, lack Allen, Perry Allen, Reuben Lorenson, Leonard Lauden- slaugher, Eddie Brazil, Eddie Kuegeman and Dick lelleff. Some of the problems of next year's team will be to replace Ken Hallen's punt- ing ability and of course the flashy halfbacks, Reuben Ramos and Moses Oli- veria. lt will also be hard to replace Captain Ken Calhoun and Dick Ielleff who were always charging and tackling in there at guard position. Some of the fellows who still remain on the squad are Louie Rocha, Wayne Calhoun, Ray Peirce, Theodore Lira, Stanley Alameda, Herman Mesquite, Rudy Alonzo, Stanley Maffey, Lloyd Darneal, Russel Rose, and Henry Chieng. Much credit should be given to Coach Hird for producing such a fine team in his first year in our school. Although our season was brief, the games were enjoyed by the boys and by the rest of the school. 43 vin' VARSWY Top: Coach Hlrd, E. Maria: R. Pe :s, P.A1e', S. Mnue., R. F'-et'-, F, Refs 5 A V.
