LETTERS TO THE E D I T O R S mom ur: To the Iiditors: Your new 1941 XVAHIAN sounds like a good book. It will be quite all right for you to use LIFE as the theme for it, and we are happy that you want to do so. We are looking forward to receiving a copy as soon as it comes off the presses. Wisliiiig you the best of luck with it, I am, Sincerely yours. Daxu I, I,ONGW'I'l,I, Ifwczziiit' lirfiior' We hope Mr. Longwell will not be disappointed in our issue. FROM AN EDITOR TO THE EDITORS Dear Sirs: For a long time I have wanted to ex- press my opinion of the year book, but I have never known whom to talk to about it. I read in the GRIST, the finest news- paper in the Northwest fpluglj, that you selected LIFIC maga7ine as the theme for this issue of the Waliiaii, so now I can write a Letter to the Iiditors and let out SONIC steam. I like the Xvahian. I think it's just swell. And somehow or other its value is lasting. I have two W'ahians at home, and I pore through each one every now and then. There's always something new that I have never noticed before. And there are pic- tures of people I didn't know at the time, but whom I have met since. Thus my an- nuals take on added meaning, My favorite part of the Wahian is the pictorial set-up. I love pictures! In faet, I like pictures better than any other kind of photography! And when it comes to pictures the XVahian is really potent stuff.

All the clubs have pictures of their members in the Xwahian. The sports progam is given plenty of well- deserved space, too. The fall, winter, and spring sports are vividly brought back to memory by an abundance of action shots. Clothes may make the man, but pictures do make the Vfahian. I feel that the NX'ahian is such a vital part of W'ashburn Iligh School that it should be automatically charged and de- livered to every student. In fact, I've ALMA MATER UVCI1 WOYIQCLI UIIL Ll SUPCI' SIILHIIKUI' Sy9I.UITI for pulling the Nll'ahian over students' eyes. It's called the CQ.I'.I.I,'l'.lI.I'., Y.S.W'.II.I.M. lpronounced Simonel.

WHAT AN 'I 'IB WANTS To the Iiditors: If the I94l Wrzlviilu is as complete as the 1940 edition, then I shall be eagerly look- iitg forward to the forthcoming issue. last year's annual is the only Ivrlllliilll that I have, as I was only a IUIS then. I'in certainly glad that I didn't wait until my senior year before buying one, because I want souvenirs of my sophomore and iunior year, too, Like any other true Wlisliburnite, I .un interested in my school. I want to belong to every one of the various clubs of NX'ash- burn. I want to become acquainted with all of my fellow classmates and teachers. I want to participate in or see all NIVash- burn athletics the whole year around. I Wzlllt to go behind the scenes of the dramatic and musical productions. I want to attend all of the school entertainments such as sunlights and auditoriums. Ilow can I do all of this? I can't. No one per- son in this school can, not even Mr. Mac- Quarrie.
