A TREASURE HUNT as the theme for the 1940 year- book, the Saga staff enthusiastically began the task of C making this publication a lasting and worthwhile Trea- sure for you, the students. Under the skillful and efficient leadership of George Jaschke, the editor-in-chief, new ideas and improvements of old ones have taken shape. Between these attractive covers, we have undertaken to guide you along our Treasure route, pointing out the places Of outstanding interest and value. A new idea in class pictures is being initiated--that of grouping students in alphabetical order. By arranging the senior pictures in a new way, we have provided more space for other things. We hope that, despite the fact that our working time has been shortened by eight weeks, we have succeeded in publishing a better and more attractive Saga.

QD . . DRY WIT, KIND HEART---these characterize . a O. M. Thompson, to whom we dedicate the 1940 W 's' Saga-Tattler. As teacher of freshmen mechanical drawing, he is genuinely liked by all his students, who are inspired with a desire to learn by his thorough knowledge of his subject. Perhaps Woodward knows Mr. Thompson best as the ever dependable man with the camera. Photograpy has been his hobby for many years, and his skill in this field has proven very valuable to the school. However, no matter what his immediate interest is, from jig-saw puzzles to hunting, he follows it with all energy and zeal. Mr, Thompson has served Woodward faithfully for ten years, we wish for him many future years of happiness here. We hope that the dedication of this yearbook may be a fitting token of our appreciation of a good friend and teacher.
