The annual "The Bugle" was stenciled, mimeographed, and put together by our Washington principal, teachers, and pupils. Thirty four students were going to attend Lincoln Junior High School in the fall, leaving Washington School. The sixth grade went on a science field trip during which a student hurt his head bending over to catch a crayfish and the teacher, Mr. Waterhouse, tore his trousers going through a barbed wire fence. Information was given about eight faculty members, and short editorials were written by Principal E.H. Waterhouse and Superintendent A. L. Winterquist, as well as students. A page about the personalities of the sixth grade students was given. The Washington Basketball team members were listed. Summer plans for travel were given for quite a few students. Information was given about various activities at Washington, including the mixed chorus, orchestra, stringed ensemble, and rhythm band. The basketball team did well. The grades carried out an art program of weaving, painting, drawing, bottle dipping, clay modeling, soap carving, and pencil drawing, with some projects to be exhibited at the Annual Thomson Township Fair.
