P»8c Two lOSK, Foreword This publication comes to you as an expression of our interest in you and in the memories that you will carry from Washington High School. This book is the handiwork of the members of the class of 1944. All of the activities carried on at Washington High School arc not enumerated in this publication, but you will find a cross-section of many of the things which you will look back upon as happy memories. The few activities shown in this publication arc worthwhile and enjoyable factors in the lives of high school students. In these times, when we are disturbed by the strife of war, when the entire globe is in a state of unrest—when nations arc fighting nations—when others arc dodging bombs dropped by the monsters of the air to destroy the armies of the nations, or cities which have been built by centuries of thought and energy, we arc praying that victory will come to the armies which are fighting that hatred, tyranny and ignorance may be overcome, and that we may have a new civilization based upon the rights of individual personalities which demand the freedom from want, fear, hunger and freedom of worship. May you in your effort realize that in your own development you will have to grow toward that spirit in which you recognize that a man's a man for a that”; that everyone, regardless of race, creed, color, or nationality, has a right to enjoy the freedoms which we all wish for. We present this book, which comes to you as a pleasant reminder of the young people and your teachers who have been your friends and advisors, in the hope that i nfuture years it will be the means of bringing to you much happiness and satisfaction. In this day, when there is a division of labor, every man is called upon to do his individual part of the work. This is an important factor in the program of winning the war or developing your own personality, which will either ruin or destroy the good forces in the world. And while you arc beginning on your division of labor toward your development, may it be toward the development of a true personality based upon truth, love, and a sound mind. That, my friends, will show that you have been on the Assembly Line, working for the freedoms which we all hope arc not far off. Very truly yours, C. N. CoRNfct.L, Principal
