FOREWORD 1 ■■ ' T ■ If George Washington could return to GW High and compare it with the same school of twenty-six years ago, he would observe many changes. What was then only an open field by the railroad tracks is today the site of GW ' s modern football stadium. The building itself has changed, too. A new wing was added in 1945 and now construction has started on the new Jack Tulloch Memorial Gymnasium. But the biggest surprise would probably come if George were to enter the school and observe the activities. Today GW offers a wide variety of activities in which a majority of the students participate. If George had en- tered an Astronomy Club meeting in 1935 he probably would have seen the club discussing one of the recent discoveries in the theory of the solar system, or, perhaps, listening to a guest speaker. However, today, the scene would be entirely different. The club would now be planning a trip to the Naval Observa- tory or viewing a technicolor movie about astronomy. George might then pass a chemis- try class in an experiment or the group study- ing mathematical analysis, hardly comparable to the same classes 26 years ago. One final contrast would be the wide variety of ath- letics in which the school now participates. In summary George Washington would find an entirely different school: different in size, different in appearance, and even more dif- ferent in spirit.
