FOREWORD This has been a year of great change at George Washington High School. One cannot help noticing the progress which has been made in improving the outward and inward appearance of GW, in enlarging our facilities and teaching staff, and in the bolstering of school spirit. Though our school is omong the oldest in the areo, it is now olso among the most modern and well-equipped. On returning to school in September of last year, students and teachers recognized the fact that they were attending a new GW. Pouring through the doors and filling the halls of George Washington were over five hundred Freshmen, ready to add their great contribution to the academic and extra curricular aspects of the school. Greeting the old and new arrivals was a faculty staff of one hundred teachers. In the parking lot, a huge trailer known as the Lingua Van awaited those who would study the languages. When the GW football team routed Fairfax in late September, the stadium was brightened by brand new, tall and shining steel light poles which had just been set up. The best gift, however, was yet to come. On the first day of December, 1961, the Jack Tulloch Memorial Gymnasium was opened for the first time. It was the dream of years come true. Over eighteen hundred students and teachers filled the half-million dollar building for an ossembly program. Minutes later, the walls of the gymnasium were ringing with the explosive sound of GW's long-sought rebirth in school Spirit. With the theme of The New GW, therefore, the yearbook staff is proud to present to the faculty and students of this school the 1962 COMPASS. The larger and more modern book represents the first major change ever made in the school annual since GW was built twenty-seven years ago. This COMPASS is offered as a commemoration of our progress.
