STANDING: A. U. Thomsen, Eckhart A. Thompson. TRUSTEES . The Board of Trustees is a. group of very likeable men who perform a great many services for the school. The students do not have much contact with the Board but these men are always in there pitching . . . working many hours for the school and giving their services Without any pay in money. A Mr. Eckhart Thompson is president of the Board. This is his second year as a member. He is a graduate of this school and an attorney in Fresno. The vice-president is Mr. A. lworan, also serving his second year as a board member. He has three sons and a daughter who have graduated from this school, two sous now being in the armed, forces. hir. llloran is a farmer. 1 Mr. G. Tom Reeves, the clerk of the Board, has been a member since March, 194-3. He is division credit manager for the Shell Oil Company. Another member of the Board, the senior member from standpoint of years of service, is A. U. Thomsen who is completing his fifth year. His daughter, Roma Jean, a graduate of Washington Union, is a member of the WAVES and his son, Richard, graduates from this school this year. Rlr. Thomsen is treasurer of the Bonner Pack- ing Company. Mr. Oral Mitchell, the fifth member of the Board, is completing his third year in the service of the district. He is also a farmer. l6l l 1 THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKS Our school is finishing its fourth year on a war-time basis-the present Senior class being the one which entered just before Pearl Harbor. In spite of such conditions, school life has remained fairly normal. There have been almost the usual number of student activities. Welcoming back former students now in the armed forces has been a pleasant part of the year's activities along with hearing of the successful and heroic deeds accomplished by Washington Union gradu- ates. News of those Who- will never return has brought an accompanying note of sadness. To the graduating class I would say that your parents, the faculty, and the Board of Education join your principal in rejoicing that the past four years have been so nearly normal for you as high school students. We also wish for you the success that Will bring to yourselves, your families, your school, and your country honors equal to those earned by former graduates. May good luck go with you and success crown your efforts. EDWIN T. FORCE, Principal .

At the first class meet- ing the following officers were elected: Norman Carter, presi- dent, Lloyd Jeffries, vice-president, Freda Huber, secretary, and Alice Boots, treasurer. Council members Were Bob Schutz and Upper: THELMA WEBER, SeC1'eWY . . . . 1 J V Z A I A 7 AA I , ' Charles Prickett. Soon after school opened, Freshman 1n1t1at1on IOM? BUENA TEM MDFWI R Measure was held. ,The Freshman girls defeated the Sophomores, thus eliminating the popular title Scrubs, but the boys held this title as they were de- feated by the mighty Sophomores. The class of '45 as Freshmen participated in the last annual lway Day celebra- tion. Girls elected by the grammar schools as May Queen's attendants were Bowles, Doris Girtzg University, Ida Pettittg Manning, Thelma Weberg Oleander, Betty Pedersen, Perrin, Henrietta Boosg American Colony, Evelyn Jensen, Washington Colony, Clara Fischer, and West Park, Lorraine Pardini. In interclass events the class as a. Whole did as Well as Freshmen are expected to do in sports. The boys placed fourth infootball and basketball and the girls third in Volleyball and fourth in basketball and soccer. Eight boys earned letters in inter- school sports. So the school year '4-1'-'42 Went by and now the self same students returned, not as ScrubsU but as Sophomores.

The class sponsors were Mrs. Donsted, Mr. Wilson,' and Miss Hammat. The C. S. F. that year claimed nine members. As Sophomores the class of '45 defeated the Freshmen in both boys, and girls' initiation events. ln sports the boys must have been 'fstuckl' because they scored fourth place in football and basketball. The girls did better, though, by taking second place in interelass volleyball, and third place in hockey. When the year 1943-44 opened, there were over seventy Juniors present. The class officers chosen at the first meeting were president, Richard Thomseng vice-presi- dent, Ben Wardeng secretary, Erma Robinson, treasurer, Angie Batrich.

Everyone enjoyed ditching the afternoon classes. FACULTY SPONSORS: Mr. Poulseu Mr. Kramer Mrs. Donstefl Miss Landers Miss Larson Sports seemed to take on new interest and the girls placed first in volleyball and second in basketball and soccer. The boys did very well by taking first place in football and baseball. The Juniors were hosts at the Junior-Senior Banquet, held at the Commercial Club in Fresno, June 2. In February the Juniors presented the play, f'What a Life, with Ben lVIadsen as Henry Aldrich.

This came about as the result of the adoption of a new Student Body constitution at the close of school last year. The student government now consists of a council made up of eight commissioners, the four class presidents, and the Hatchet and Progress editors, as well as a council member-at-large. This council has the combined duties of the previous commission, coun- cil, and court. oW1 1-Xl. Sxiiogfjxgulesi Student Body President ,. we 3. ,Wei AY KONN Bkaivlsjxkz Q 'X wfxkfpwsaxxev.

Gy, HATCI-IET ' , Washington Union's school paper, the HHatchet, has continued publication this year in spite of paper shortages and other difficulties. The school paper is an essential part of the students' school year and each issue is eagerly anticipated. The staff has consistently tried to maintain a highstandard of journalism, to publish' a paper of interest to the community as well as to the narrower circle of school readers, and to provide features of especial interest to those in school. Special attention has been given to news of' former students now in the armed forces and to interviews with those who have returned to visit school. Standard features of interest to school members have been Gertie's Goths of Gossip and the fashion notes. The last issue was devoted to the graduating class. Melvin Miller was elected editor for the first semesterg he then left for the Coast Guard and Thelma Weber was elected editor for the second half of the year. Clara Fischer and Lorraine Horg were business managers. Reporters have been Florence Alexander, Angie Batrich, Monica Aydelott, Betty Pedersen, Esther Nielsen, John Blackwell, Anita Barbo, Harold VVallers, Ida Pettitt, Frances Flake, and Dorothy Kisling. Harley Eischen, another staff member, left early in the year for service in the navy. Miss Owena Crow is faculty sponsor. l31l BOYS' I OFFICERS: Mr. Burnett, II, Golston, B. Sehutz, M. Petersen, B.

EUTURE EARMERS OE AMERICA Remember ye the days of olden when, a man of the land could learn only by his own trials and errors and those of his immediate neighbors? K Now the young man starting out on his farm has the advantage of before- hand knowledge and practical experience. Not only do the boys of the Future Farmers organization have classwork on the methods of modern agriculture, but they also take field trips to the various farms of the neighborhood. Then, too, they visited the packing plants. slaughter houses, tallow works, dairies, and other commercial institutions to see just what becomes of farm products after they leave the farm. This year the Future Farmers entered a steer judging contest at Tulare. For this contest competitors had come from all over California. About one hundred fifty were entered in the contest. Natale Guidi from the local chapter placed fourth. The chapter this year elected Walter Jensen as president, with Natale Guidi as vice-president. Tommy Plemons was chosen as secretary and Don Woodruff as treas- urer. Eugene Vitali was reporter for the year. Mr. Poulsen and Mr. Pence are faculty sponsors. Yes, most of the boys starting out in the field of agriculture today hfave more experience than their fathers did. l42l HERE AND THERE AEQUND SCEQQE TOP ROW: V-21-r-S-i-tfy W. P.

With four returning let- termen-Alford Ashuckian, Lloyd Jeffries, Richard Schmidt, and Thom Thor-they expected to roll right along. It seemed as though the other schools had too much power at first, but near the end of the season the boys got organized and started the ball rolling. As the scores indicate, the later games were really nip and tuck. Two points either way could change the whole game. ' VVashington was playing under a handicap with only a seven man squad for the last three games, but this didn't stop the Panthers, who fought as determinedly as the panther of the jungle for whom they are named. After the team got organized, their teamwork was superb. Five boys qualified for letters this year. They were Alford Ashuckian, Lloyd Jeffries, Richard Schmidt, Hardy Golston, and Tom Thor, who Won the captain's letter. W. U. H. S ......... .... 2 2 ........ ........

' CLASS C BASKET BALL This year Washington renewed its policy of having a C Class basketball team. This gave the smaller boys a, good chance to get experience for their coming years. VVashington's side of the score was usually a little low, but this gives no idea of the fight the boys made. They gave their utmost, but the other schools just had too much power and experience for themg but even though over-powered, they were not out-fought. The spirit these boys showed was symbolic of the spirit every good American shows, even when he is on the bottom. Five boys won C Class letters this year. Bob Jeffries held-the star, which desig- nated the captain. The others were Frankie Lopez, Eric Ferdinansen, Joe Hawks- worth, and John Souza. W, U, H, S .,.,,,. ,,,. 9 ,,,.,... ,..,....

Since only one track meet has been entered by the time the Progress must meet its dead line, we must omit the inevitable announcement of first and second places to be Won by our track stars in the coming seasonal meets.

Each noon hour one could see the young bloods speeding around in their gym suits. Only those not out for interscholastic sports were eligible for intramural competition. The schedule of games was arranged by Coach Kramer who also introduced a new system for awards. Each class would receive one point for each of its members on a winning team. At the conclusion of the year the points were to be totaled and the winning class announced. The touch football round robin started off the year's Contests, and was won by the Second Period team, winning five games and losing none. Then with winter weather moving in rapidly, the sport roster listed basketball as next on the list. Dribble! Pass! Look out therel These were the shouts heard throughout the gym as the battle of the periods raged back and forth. lfVhat the E541 INTR AM URM. SPQRTS players lacked in skill they made up for in energy. The zeal these athletes showed would have struck shame to the hearts of the ancient Roman gladiators. But, hol The whistle sounds and there emerges the victor. It looks like . . . it isl The Third Period are the champions of the basketball tournament. Then, as Old Father Time rolled his seasons onward, old Sol burst forth in all his beaming springtime glory, and the urge to get out and move touched one and all. Cut came the tennis rackets from attics and closets and heigh-hol we're off to the tennis tournament. Some of the upper class men felt sure their experience would bring them through the competition without even mussing their hair. But, nol The apple cart has upset. After the swish of rackets has died down, the rider on the pedes- tal of victory is none other than Robbie Laurence, a Freshman. And so, the Progress goes to press and intramural softball and track have not been finished so that winners could be announced. TENNIS: R. Dahlgren, R. Laurence.
