Pupils, teachers, and cafeteria managers were called on that day to care for the people sent to the schools. This is war! No longer can we Say It can't happen here. For the duration the schools must do all they can to bring victory to our beloved land. This means that in order that our free insti- tutions will not be taken from us We must all Work more diligently and be better citizens than We have ever been before. The Sunburst for 1942 records the history of Washington High School for the School year. We can justly be proud of this book and other accom- plishments of our school. Best wishes to the seniors and undergraduates for the years to come. W. F. RETTIG, Principal

For many years high school students have been subscribing to the Sunburst, the annual publication of Washington High School. This year, more than in recent years, high school memories will be more dear and this book will be cherished by all. We know that we are living in war time, and some whom we have known very well may be in faraway places in the future. All of us will ap- preciate having a record of the class of 1942 and also pictures of the under-classmen and the activi- ties of the entire student body. An education is invaluable and we hope every person will make the most of his opportunities while in school and in life. A. B. MURRAY, Superintendent.

For fifty years she has served the schools faithfully and to the best of her ability. Her former pupils, now in all walks of life, have never for- gotten her or her invaluable teach- ings. Believing that she is entitled to a rest from teaching, she is re- tiring to devote her time to taking care of a one hundred thirty-five- acre farm. RICHARD COCKERILL Social Science The school system lost a teacher and the army gained a future gen- eral. This was the case when Her- bert Richard Cockerill, teacher of social science for juniors and sen- iors, left to join the army March 4, 1942. Although he was a new ad- ,di-tion to the teaching staff of the high school, in the few months that he was here he gained the respect and admiration of his pupils. But in this time of crisis, we feel that our personal loss should not be con- sidered but should make us proud to think that in some way we have contributed something valuable to the fighting forces of our country. George is honored to be placed on this page in such distinguished com- pany. .ig 4 ll GEURGB 1'-sr' Q9 o ?,1- v '95 --5' ff, ,f' C-al' '-9 4?-,. 1 If we if 'An 4' ,Z X ':f.5+1l .-N
