THE E OWE UCI-I K 1 l , may , g Ag. 1 'W5' -213 This year has brought with it an important change at Arsenal and Washington High Schools. We are very happy to welcome this. For the first time our schools have become co-educational. We are proud that our young ladies and young men have proven so cooperative and willing to work together to meet this challenge. By September 1966, we are anticipating more new programs and more changes in our programs and student bodies. Dr. Iris Linn Fike, Principal Arsenal WASHINGTON-ARSENAL ADMINISTRATION Seated: Hilda M.

The gradual merging of Arsenal girls Vocational Technical High School and Washington Vocational Technical High School began in September of 1965. The challenges presented were overcome by a very cooperative group of boys and girls. Further integration of our classes shall continue this coming school year. I have faith in the students of Arsenal and Wash- ington High Schools and in the not to distant future I see a comprehensive high school in the Lawrencville Area of Pitts- burgh. This school will undoubtedly be one of the outstanding high schools in Pittsburgh. Newton W. Simons, Principal Washington

Coordinator of Work Experience Mr. Crist M. King Cooperative apprentice training has been popular at Washington Vocational Technical High School throughout the years. Boys who do well in shop work and who also rate high in their academic studies are allowed, preferably in their senior year, to work in industry. Shop teachers recommend boys for these jobs and they must also be in good standing with their academic teachers. The principal gives final approval after their attendance and conduct have been found to be satisfactory. The majority of Co-op boys are employed full time by their companies after graduating from high school. Mr. King's time is also offered to alumnae of Arsenal-Washington High Schoolg here he is counseling a former graduate.
