Go to it, boys and girls. The world is yours. Noth- ing has been done perfectly. Everything remains to be done right-everything, During your years here you have witnessed science removing barrier after barrier and making, in a phys- ical sense, of the universe, but one world in spirit re- mains yet to be created. What can you do about it? Much! Your one world at Washington has provided you with ideals of toler- ance and of cooperation. From your ranks and from the ranks of young people over the land, must come the makers of new patterns of human relationships, must come the fighters for world peace. One world needs you. G0 10 if, boys and girlrf' ELEANOR M. JACKSON Recently a young man came into my office. He had applied for a position of some importance. Whether he was to be considered for the position depended upon his high school record. Together we looked it up. It was the young man himself who finally suggested that it would be a waste of time to copy and mail the report. Day after day we are asked to furnish transcripts. All we can do is to forward the record which the stu- dent made. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance to you as an individual that your record in high school be clean and commendable. It may prove to be the turning point in your life beyond school. I think it was in the case of the young man who came to my office. And neither of us can do anything about it flow. G. M. KLINGNER Today the student body depends on you for leader- ship and unity. Tomorrow your country and the world will depend on you-on your trained minds and under- standing hearts, on your alert perception and your ability to keep your feet on the ground. The ground in this case is the history, the literature, the culture, and the civilization of the world. You have tasted of this history, this literature, this culture. This taste should whet your appetite to know every people, every country. To know people is to understand them and where there is understanding there cannot be hate. Strive then not to be understood but to understand, not to be loved, but to love, not to be pardoned, but to pardon. With love, pardon, and understanding as your goals you can go forth with confidence to meet this world. ELEANOR PARsoNs

sua- WASHINGTQN ADMINISTRATION For centuries people have thought of the physical world as consisting of many partsffaoceans, continents, islands, climatic zones, etc. The human has been thought of in terms of nations, languages, customs, religions, and races. Today we have a new reality- that of a physical air world which has no barriers or boundaries, and no static physical divisions. In spite of this new reality, the separations on the earth's surface continue to dominate attitudes toward world problems. People the world over demand a solution to the problem of facing universal relationships. Mankind is facing its greatest test in history. Can man go one step further in that old conquest, the con- quest of himself? Could there he a birth of a new citi- zenship? The world is ruled by symbols. I.et's create a new symbol: world citizenship. The young people of today can do much to de- velop this ideal of one world. Their attitudes and ac- tions should force us to realize that only the greatest efforts of the spirit, the most generous attempts of the heart, can save the world from destruction. O. I. SCHMAELZLF Every great institution has a personality all its own. The personality that Washington is developing under the leadership of Principal O. I. Schmaelzle is one of friendliness and cooperation among faculty, parents, and students. The inauguration of the Principal's Cabinet, com- posed of representatives from all registry classes, has produced a spirit of unity among the students, and Fl growing feeling that they are participating directly in school policies. An increased sense of responsibil- ity has resulted, and an augmented pride in the title Citizen of George Washington High School. Family Night, now become a Washington tradi- tion, bespeaks harmony and friendliness between the homes of Washington students and their school. This function, initiated by Principal Schmaelzle in the spring of 1945, is an occasion on which parents, teachers, and students dine together in the school cafeteria, and later enjoy entertainment in the auditorium, witness games in the gymnasium, or perhaps, just visit, W'hen we work we work hard, when we play we play hard. Mr. Schmaelzle believes in this slogan.
