Graduates, graduating Seniors, and even under-classmen have en- listed in the service of their country. Faculty men and one faculty woman have left school for this purpose. These the PROGRESS staff honors in this issue as the serv- ice theme is stressed. To those who have enlisted, entering the service of their country has meant determination, courage, and sometimes self-sacrifice to fight for the American way of life. They have enlisted because they are Americans and believe in America. School annuals are a part--a minor one, perhaps, but nevertheless a part-of the American way of life. The staff hopes that this book may serve to recall happy school days and ways. IN APPRECIATION To Dr. Force, who has done 21 fine job of making, I' this an inspiring 'ind successful h l . sc no year and who has been very helpful in connection with the PROGRESS, this book is dedicated. TRU TEE Speaking of service to others there are the members of the Board of Trustees to be considered.

As you students grow older, you Will realize this truth in ever-increasing in- tensity. To you Seniors who are leaving us now, I urge you to insure by your thoughts and deeds that this great heritage, won and preserved by past generations, shall pass untarnished into the hands of your own children in the years to come. On this continual process does the hope of a free country remain. To all of you I wish to say that the warm friendship and co-operation which you have given me this year has been and will always be a source of inspiration to me. To each one of you, the very best of good fortune. EDWIN T. FORCE I 7l MARTHA J. BRUNEI! LILLIAX UUFK MITCHELI. Ill'RXE'l l' F CULTY lt seems that even in war times our schools must continue their work and to do so, faculty members frequently stay with their pro- fession even when defense worlc or the armed service beckons. Certainly education of young people to take their place in a democracy worth fighting foru classes as essential. Seven new members were added to the faculty the past year. Miss Bruner has taught German, mathematics, and general science. Miss Buck has been Freshman counselor and has taught Freshman and Sopho- more English and girls' physical education.

CEDERQUIST, Vive-I'resideut D IRIPPLE Serretart SENIOR Each year the class of '-H- has had the smallest enrollment of the four classes in school. Looking back to four years ago. we see that Jack Cole was elected Freshman presidentg Norman Hansen, vice- presidentg Alice Van Gammeren, secretary, and Beverly Petersen. treasurer. The class sponsors were Miss Clare Shafer, Harry Mora- dian, and George Farrier. The girls lost to the Sophomores in the annual Freshman-Sophomore initiationg the boys also were not victors and so 'lScrubs was the name given to the Freshmen. In athletics. however, the girls proved their ability by being winners in basket- ball, coming in second in soccer, and tieing for second in baseball. Sixteen Freshmen were on the honor roll and the honorable mention list. Thirty had perfect attendance for the first semester. The fall of '-l-l found most of the Freshmen back in school, only now they were Sophomores. In the first class meeting Norman Han- sen was elected presidentg Lloyd Steinhauer, vice-president, Doris Bennett, secretaryg Gwenda Grebbell, treasurerg Helen Kauffman and Oscar Fleming, yell leaders, and Eleanor Wirth and Kenneth Bixby, council representatives. Class sponsors were Miss-Buss, Mr. Shuler, and Mr. Piacentini. In the Freshman-Sophomore initiation the Sophomore girls were again losers, however, the boys couldnlt let it happen to them, and so the Freshmen boys were mowed down. The girls were winners in interclass baseball, second in basketball. and second in soccer. The boys took the interclass championship in track. Sixteen made the honor roll. Five became scholarship society members. Betty Coleman, Oscar Fleming, and Gareth Grebbell were league debaters. 1942-43 was a big year. The class started by choosing their class officers. The students coming out on top were Bill Steele, presidentg Kenneth Bixby, vice-presidentg Christine Ereman, secretaryg Thelma Theis, treasurer, Gwenda Grebbell, class editorg Helen Pacini and Marvin Amaro, council representativesg and Pauline Tologian, girls, athletic manager. The Juniors presented the play, HlVIiss Jimmy, under the direction of Mr. VVatson. Student directors were Helen Kauffman and Mzirvin Amaro. The cast included Beverly Petersen, Alice Van Gammeren, Claire Poladian, Thelma Theis, Verna Lee Viau, Adena VViseman, Norman Hansen, Ralph Kisling and Floyd U21 CLASS OF '44 Swlglian. Junior dress up day was held early in the fall before gas and tire shortages became effective. To top off the day, the afternoon was spent in town. The Junior-Senior prom was held May 29 at the Hotel Californian. The boys placed Hrst in interclass football and third in basketball. The girls came in first in basketball and third in hockey. The class sponsors were Gillespie, lUr. Ains- worth, and Mrs. Engleson. VVhen the fall of '43 rolled around, their were just sixty-six Sen- iors enrolled. Some of the boys had been caught by the draftf' others had joined the armed forces before they were drafted. The first thing the class did was to elect their leaders. Gareth Grebbell was elected presidentg Don Cederquist, vice-presidentg Dorothy Trip- ple. secretaryg Althea Moran, treasurerg Elaine Winters, yell leaderg and Pauline Smith and Marvin Amaro, council representatives. Class sponsors have been Mrs. Mudge, Miss Crow, Mrs. Engleson, Miss Sinclair, and Mr. Walton. Instead of having Senior ditch-day later , FACUL'l'Y SPOVSORS. FRONT ROW: Mrs. Engleson. Mr. Walton.

Some attended a show and others went bowling. The Senior play was presented in December. Daisies on the Car Tracks was the name of the play. The cast included -lean Sullivan, Verna Lee Viau. Thelma Theis, Elaine Winters, Ralph Kisling. Marvin Amaro, Gareth Grebbell, Don Eischen. and Bill Steele. Miss Morsiette was the directorg Norma Ede was the student assistant. For Victory Week each class elected a girl a candidate for Victory Queen. Helen Pacini was selected by class of ,4-l. The girls again took the interclass championship in basketball and also proved their ability by winning in soccer and baseball. The boys had a hard time to even get enough for athletic tmms due to the manpower shortage. The Seniors in the C. S. F. for the first semester were Charles lkloran, Le-Roy Pedersen. Norman Hansen. Kenneth Bixby, Vartue Boghosian, Hasmig Yeramian. Second semester schol- arship members were Kenneth Bixby, Josephine Frediani. Helen Pacini. and Alice Van Gammeren.

There were quite a few who made the all-star teams also. The boys seem to have done well, placing first in football and baseball.

For their penalty the members of the Freshman class were required to enter the main building by the back entrance for an entire week. In interclass sports the Freshmen were not fortunate but this can be laid to inexperience rather than to lack of enthusiasm. The boys won a softball game from the Seniors, though. Socially, the big event of the year was the Freshman hayride. an event of late April. This was literally a combination of the old and the new as transportation consisted of hay wagons drawn by cars and tractors. And then there were delicious eats consisting of potato salad, baked wieners, ice cream bars and coca cola. Four Freshmen became scholarship society members the second semester: Robert Dahlgren, Gladys Papazian, joe Van Gundy and Joanne VVatson. Two. Ruby Birdsell and Eileen Jensen, played in the school orchestra, and two, Josephine Potzernitz and Virginia Van Gammeren, were members of the school chorus. FlttbX'l' RUW: B. J. Purtle. l .

EDITOR Althea Moran PROGRESS Even with materials so scarce. the Progress staff is doing its very best to put out an annual that the students will be proud of and long remember. There are many jobs connected with putting out an annual. It takes much time and work. First, a theme is chosen and a dummy of the book is made. Pictures are taken and all the articles are writteng these are checked and rechecked. The copy is sent to the printer and pictures to the engraver. Finally, after galley proofs and page proofs have been read, the book is printed. The theme selected by the Progress staff for this annual has to do with the boys and girls in the service of their country. The Progress would like to express its appreciation to lwrs. lbludge and the students who have assisted her in the designing of the division pages and the coverg to Gerald Lysdahl for Band Show pictures, and to Elmer Smith for interclass sports pictures.

BOY ' FE DERATIO The Washingtrmn Union High School Boys' Federation is under the sponsorship of lVlr. Ivan O. Olson, head of Washington's boys' physical education department. The Federation started the year by electing its oflicers. They were: president, LeRoy Pederseng vice-president, Don- ald Cederquistg secretary, Kenneth Bixbyg treas- urer, Stanley Hammond. The purpose of the Boys' Federation is to sponsor interclass sports, and to develop a better understanding of sports. One of the activities of the organization was to provide the service flag that is now hanging in the hall. The interclass sports that have been com- pleted or are now in progress are football, base- ball, basketball, softball, tennis and track. GIRL ' LEAGUE All girls in the school belong to the Girls' League. The first meeting was called to order by the president, Gwenda Grebbell, in the latter part of October. The main purpose of the meet- ing was to nominate and elect the other officers for the year. Those elected were: vice-president and social chairman, Alice Van Gammereng sec- retary, Althea Morang treasurer, Pauline Tolo- giang and yell leaders, Christine Ereman and Vivian Arzoian. Plans were soon under way for the lVIother- - Daughter Banquet for February 15, with a val- entine theme. The girls had a candy, cookie and cake sale one week which proved to be very successful. On February 25 the girls enjoyed a talk by Yeoman Ann lNlcCarthy, who spoke on the life in the YVAVES. On April ll a fashion show was held and the latest fashions were mod- eled. The day finally arrived when all the girls blossomed out in their new print dresses and also showed their teaching ability on the annual Print Day, April 12. For one meeting the girls went to the boys' meeting and enjoyed a sports picture. Mrs. Cochran, the faculty advisor, has given much of her time in making the Girls' League meetings a success.

For every sport a girl enters she earns a designated number of points which count toward various symbols in her Freshman year, a numeral her Sophomore year, a Block XV her Junior year, and a star in her Senior year. The girl who has earned the most points at the end of her Junior year is given an athletic sweater which is awarded to her in the first Student Body meeting of her Senior year. This girl becomes the G. A. A. president. The officers this year have been: president, Gwenda Greb- bellg vice-president, Althea ivloran, and secre- tary, Pauline Tologian. Each class elects a class manager for the year. Those elected were Mary Jane Goodenough, Freshmang Phyllis Pedersen. Sophomore: Violet Lantz, Junior, and Nadine Goodenough, Senior. The sports the classes enjoy competing in are volleyball, basketball, soccer, and ba'eball. For each sport a captain is chosen by their re- spective teams. Tennis is the only interscholas- tic sport the girls are allowed to play. At the close of each sport the captains select an all- star team.

Service to youth, staunch homes, good health, spiritual integrity, conservation and thrift, sound education, and maintaining the founders' ideals were topics of various meetings. High School and grammar school pupils under the direction of hir. lwinor and lyliss Daven- port, respectively, have presented musical num- bers. The December meeting was a potluck din- ner for the members and their families. At the April meeting Klrs. Carsten Schlundt was elected president for the coming year.

BA D CLUB This year the Band Club and the band have had practically the same activities as all the Band Club members are also band members. Officers were elected at the beginning of the year. Charles Erick- son has been president with Drayton Mullis as vice-president. Goldie Mae Hamilton was secretary and Adena VViseman, treasurer. lVIr. Minor is the faculty sponsor. Members of the club, as band members. took part in the Armi- stice Day parade at Selma. At half time during the Armistice Day football game they played and gave a demonstration of fancy march- ing. The band also performed for the home folks at football games at Easton. Niuch of the success of the Band Show is the result of the effort of Hand Club membersg their interest in the Band Show is the result of the fact that money taken in at the show is invested in Vvar Bonds to be used in buying new uniforms for the band when the lights come on again. This investment in bonds entitles the club's members to credit for service to their country as well as to their school. Those who have been club members for three years receive pinsg fourth year members receive guards for their pins. Those eligible for pins this year are Betty Christensen. Lloyd Jeffries, Florence Alexander, Louis Dack, Francis Flake, Arlene lVIcLaughlin. Dray- ton Miillis, and Henrietta Boos. Those eligible for guards are jean Berg, Kenneth Bixby, Charles Nloran, Adena Wisemali, and Hasmig Yeramian. The big social event of the year was a party given at Roeding Park for all of those who participated in the Band Show. l38l BLOCK The Block VV is a. club whose membership is composed of boys who have earned letters playing in interschool sports. The sports in which letters were ea'rned this year were football, basketball, base- ball, and softball. Norman Hansen was elected president and Ben YVarden. vice- president. For treasurer the members elected Lloyd Jeffries. The secretary is Richard Thomsen. During basketball season the Block YV sponsored a game be- tween the Panthers and the Rough Riders of Roosevelt High. The score was 28 to 30, with the Panthers claiming the victory.

Along with the experience and knowledge gained by the members. working together proved great fun. hir. XValton, the sponsor of the club, showed the members many pictures of the southwestern United States taken by professional photographers, including a movie. During the year three members of the club purchased a large camera on which the different parts and functions of the camera can be seen more easily than in the small compact cameras that the members have. This camera was studied, and tried out, and has proved successful. The officers elected at the beginning of the year are: president.

FOOTB LL The interest and enthusiasm of the football season certainly is not reflected by the fact that the W. U. H. S. Panthers won only one game in the Sequoia League series. Six other schools are in this league: Lemoore, Reedley, Sanger, Selma, Kingsburg, and Fowler. The Panthers traveled to Sanger on October 22 to play their first game of the season. Because of Sanger's larger boys, the Panthers lost this game. The game ended with the Apaches leading 37-0. The Vikings from Kingsburg came to Washington for the second game. The Easton players did their best to defend their goal but lost to the Vikings after a long hard struggle. Score, 13-O. The Panthers lost their third game to the Fowler Redcats. At half-time the Redcats were lead- ing by 13-0. The Panthers, doing their best to hold their opponents, after hard fighting lost to the Redcats, the final score being 27-0. On Armistice Day, Selma won over the Panthers. The Bears won by a good margin of 20-Og this game between Washington and Selma was played at Selma. The Hghting Panthers didn't lose all the games, however, as Reedley came to Washington to their defeat. The first touchdown was made bv an end run taken by Marvin Amaro with the con- version by Harry Eskelsen, Washington Panther. The second half was played with more passes. Jimmie Peoples made the last touchdown of the game by receiving a pass. Score, Washington, 135 Reedley, O. The Panthers played Central at Washington and lost with a final score of l2-0.

The forwards who received letters are Marvin Amaro, and Jimmie Peoples. l48l CLA S B BASKETB LL As in the football season, so in the basketball season the scores did not reflect the interest in the series. The B basketball team won one game and lost five. There were two night games, both at the opposing schools. Of the three returning lettermen. Bob Schutz was captain and played center on the team. Norman Hansen and John Negrete, both guards, were also returning lettermen. The Washington B team won the very first game. This game, with Sanger here at Wfashington, was an exciting one with a close score. l6 to 14. The following week, January 28, the next game was with Kingsburg at Kings- burg. The score was 29 to 21 in their favor. ll-D Sin ers, C'oac-h Wilson. J. Kevorkian. STXNIDIXGZ C . Eriokson. A. 'l'ova1', J. Negrefe. R. Thiunsen, M. Peters:-n. A. Ashuc-kian. .I. .Iol1ausen, B.

E491 ASEB LL For the second successive year the VVashington Panthers baseball team won the championship of the Sequoia League. Five league games. were played this year, all of which were won by the Panthers. Nlen who had returned from last year and new men who came out made up the championship team. The first league game was held at Easton on April 21. The game was played by the VVashington Panthers and the Reedley Pirates. At the end of the seventh inning the Panthers had eleven runs and the Pirates none. The following Friday the Panthers traveled to Selma to defeat their rivals, the Fowler Redcats. These two schools always look forward. to games played with each other. The score was 2-O in the Panthers' favor, showing that this was a close game. The reason for playing Fowler at Selma is that Fowler does not have a stand- ard outfield. The Panthers were victorious over the Selma ball players on bday 5, at Selma. This was the toughest and the most exciting game of the season. There were many hits during the game. First the Panthers took the leadg then Selma did. There were two home runs for ther Panthers. made by Norman Hansen and Harley Eischen. The boys who made home runs for Selma on this day were Amaro and Livermore. ln the eighth inning the Panthers camee out on top with a score of 13-ll. This game was the only eight-inning game played by the Panthers this year. On llflay I2 Kingsburg came to VVashington ,only to be defeated with a score of I2-2. This being their fourth victory, the Panthers had a good chance of winning the championship. To win their last game meant they would be champions. They did win this game with the Sanger Apaches on. lway 19 after seven innings of playingg the Panthers triumphed with a score of 6-0. Thirteen boys earned letters in baseball this year: Lloyd Jeffries. catcherg Bob Schutz, pitcher: Bill Braden, first baseman and outfielderg Richard Schmidt, first base- mang Richard Schwabenland, catcher and right fielderg Tony Cassono, short stop: Russell Kisling, second basemang Norman Hansen, center fielder and third basemang Ben VVarden. second basemang Lance Guynes, short stop and third baseman: Jimmy PePoples, third basemang Nlarvin Amaro, left fielder and center fielderg Harley Eis- chen, third baseman, pitcher, and outfielder.

GIRLS' I TERCLASS SPORT VVhen the Fresno County High School League made the ruling several years ago that tennis would be the only sport in which there would be interschool competition for the girls, there was much consternation among the athletes of the so-called fair sex. What could the girls do that would be any fun? Where would the competition come in? lngenious physical education instructors came to the rescue and a well-planned program of interclass sports took the place of the interschool com- petition. This year, under the direction of Mrs. Cochran and the Girls' Athletic Association, the girls .gr , have enjoyed four series ofhinterclass games. Each class has Il manager for all sports and captains have been elected for each sport. At the close of the year time was given for minor sports.
