The annual "The Bugle" was stenciled, mimeographed, and put together by our Washington principal, teachers, and pupils.

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.
