M I UJUJ HWWZIO WZ Due to the continuous efforts of our vice-principal, Mr.Windnagle, the school affairs during this term , were carried out successfully and efficiently. Mr. Windnagle has some unpleasant duties of disci- pline to perform besides the teach- ing of guidance and the supervis- ing of other similar activities. It is here that We Wish to express our thanks and sincere appreciation for the interest and the friendly advice given to the school, stu- dents and the organizations by Mr. Windnagle. We Wish him con- tinued success in years to come l in his field of education. r-1r'G1D-Izozf-42 Much of the responsibility of the administration of Washing- ton's school government rests squarely on the shoulders of the dean of girls, Miss Ohmert. Miss Ohmert has shown, through her interest in student activities and through her countless services on their behalf, that she has an un- equaled understanding of the stu- dents and their characters. Be- sides her administrative duties, Miss Ohmert is advisor to Girls' League, to the assembly commit- tee and to the Washington Cab- inet, Which she originated three years ago. We regret the closing of our school contacts with Miss Ohrnert and express apprecia- tion for her guidance and under- standing.

' l I Your affiliations with Washington High School, as active students, are fast drawing to a close, and it will be your problem to decide, if you have not already done so, what your future course in life is going to be. No doubt many of you will continue your studies in other institu- tions of learning, some will enter upon active work in the business or professional world, others for a time will take no further steps in pre- paring for or entering upon their chosen life work. Sooner or later, however, every one must take his allotted place in our social structure and take over the work now being done by others. Competition in every line of work will be keen, and to meet it successfully will require hard work, honest endeavor, and self con- trol. These characteristics have been instilled into you during your high school careers, and those who have profited most by these lessons should be best prepared to meet successfully the problems of life. The experiences of life coming to you should be the means by which you will grow mentally and spiritually. Reverses and disappointments, to a greater or lesser degree, must be expected by every one. Let these neither overwhelm nor disappoint you. Let them rather strengthen you in your determination to make your lives clean, honest and successful. Do your allotted work, whatever it may be, honestly, faithfully and well, and whatever may be the outcome, you will have earned that consolation and peace of mind that can come to you in no other way. -HUGH I. BOYD

CHAMBERS Mathematics MRS, FINNEGAN English To the Faculty goes most of the credit for the knowledge we gain during our four years in high school. It's true that we must do our part but the Faculty are always willing to do more than their share. On them rests the duty of see- ing that every student in Washington is receiving a real and practical benefit from his education. They seem to possess a never dying supply of tolerance. 'With the many thousand students attending Washington, it seems almost im- possible that so much personal attention can be given to each student. But they are willing to help us and explain to us problems which we may not have grasped during class hours. By their capability and friendly understanding, they have done their utmost to give us a thorough education. The Faculty are constantly learning more about the subjects which they teach. New courses are extended to them and all the teachers are learning new ideas. You'll always find groups of our Faculty attending important lec- tures throughout the year. 'With their many contacts with students, parents, and other members, they have learned to steer a steady course. Besides the actual teachers in Washington, there are two persons who do a great part of the work but are never mentioned in these faculty stories- Miss Dowd and Miss Sykes, the secretaries in the office. They are always busy doing the work which their positions require of them, but they are never too busy, it seems, to give personal attention to students when it is needed. They are always courteous and willing to help or give advice to anyone who needs it about courses, programs, and numerous other problems which arise every day in our school lives. So right now we would like to take this opportunity
