To you graduates of the seventy-fifth graduating class of Washington High School, congratulations! You have made and left an excellent record which may well be- come the pattern for those who follow in your foot- steps. The high regard in which you are held by those of us who are in school is richly deserved. We sincerely hope you will never lose those qualities which make you one of the finest groups of young people in our community and in America. May the memories and experiences you have had in school never be dimmed by the succecs and prosperity you will attain in later life. Always keep those quali- ties which make you individuals. STEPHEN C. BROWN, Superintendent. To the Class of '51: Money, natural tact, and genuis are great things. But these will not make success. They are good things and great helps but a greater yet is education. Opportunity is: what the strong man makes for himself, what the industrious man asks for, what the lazy man dreams of, what the weak man waits for, and what the wise man sees and makes the most of. You of the Class of 1951, have seen your opportunity and have made the most of it—congratulation to each of you. Your parents and other community adults hope that through education you have learned the meaning of our great democratic freedoms. If you have, you will demonstrate that you have mastered the 3 R's of citi- zenship—Rights, Respect, and Responsibility. Further, we hope that as you move into the nezt phase of life that you will carry with you a purpose of life which leads you individually and collectively to make con- tribution to the general welfare so that you are a part of the answer to the world problems and not a part of the problems. May each of you be blessed with the richest of life's experiences. ARTHUR E. WOHLERS. Principal.

SCHOOL BOARD We, the Class of 1951, thank the school board for making the house we live in pleasant. You have hired a well-trained faculty to guide us in our learning—the learning which will make our future days easier to live in and to understand. The situation our world is in today makes it paramount that we understand other nations as we learn to understand the America in which we live. You, the school board, do your very best to hire individuals who will teach us to understand the principles of peace, liberty, and freedom. As the Class of 1951 goes into this restless world we carry with us these prin- ciples that have come to make our house a better place in which to live.
