Miss Lynch Miss Havens Mr. Smith IN TRIBUTE Miss Gladys Lynch, English in- structor for a decade, developed skill in self expression and appreciation of literature. At one time supervisor of the infirmary and a member of the War Service Committee, she later served as attendance supervisor. She is best known for her personal inter- est in students. As gym instructor for twenty-four years, Miss Nellie Havens developed the all-around Washington girl. Stressing the values of physical fit- ness, grace, and poise, she built a foundation for right living through the development of leadership, team work, and a sense of fair play. She organized Wahiat as a special outlet for athletic achievement among girls. In 1922, Mr. Fred G. Smith came to Washington to develop the chorus classes and initiate the new organ. We especially miss his apropros num- bers at the close of auditorium con- vacations-and his fun. We remem- ber him also for organizing the A Cappella Choir with its well-loved songs at concerts and for directing the operettas for several years. At community sings and solo perform- ances, he was tops. Milwaukee still calls upon him to direct church choirs and accompany at public gath- erings. IN MEMCDRY KENNETH A. DEWEY On May 26, 1947, Washington High School lost Mr. Kenneth A. Dewey. Those who had had him as an instructor of speech knew him also as a builder of tomorrow's citizens: he developed in his pupils poise, clear thinking, and a spirit of cooperation and loyalty, he opened the eyes of his debaters to the problems of the world, he instilled in all a desire for truth and knowledge. The school has many memories of Mr. Dewey's twenty-four years of service. It remembers his unselfishness in sparing no time to perfect Washington's debaters and oratorsg it remembers his sympathetic un- derstanding of students and their problems, it remembers his practical humanness, teaching life as well as speech. His happiest reward was a blossoming of promise in his students. Mr. Dewey's inspiration will long be feltg his love for good books and the out of doors will continue to be perpetrated through the Dewey Memorial Library. The memory of his days at Washington will be long lasting. 21
