English Class Ye-es! But arc you sure it is original?” asks Mrs. Hill, as Martha reads a composition before the English Class.

W. yearbook. Through the untiring efforts of these staff members, the high caliber of previous George Washington annuals has been maintained and even improved in many respects. The Class of ’47 and the students of G. W. have this group to thank for preserving the memory of the events and achievements that make a typical school year at George Washington High School. In writing, financing, and editing this yearbook, the staff has striven to make the 47 Cavalier a book that will be treasured for many years to come. «I 26 V
