Tor the first time in several semesters Washington l-Iigh School returns to the publication of an annual CUN- TINENTAL. The attempts, during the war and for the few years following, to publish a book each semester be- came economically unsound and resulted in a book definitely inferior to this present publication. The staff and students of VVashington began early last September developing the plan for this issue. They organized and successfully conduc- ted a sales campaign which has resulted in the printing and issuance of more than 1700 year books. The learning experiences involved and the managerial problems have given opportunities to a large number of students to apply, in a very practical way, knowledge ac- quired in the planning, writing, and printing of this issue. The book in itself is a compliment to all who participated and it will serve as a valuable volume in the later re-call of your years at lvashington. Changes are taking place which will gradually change the outward appearances of Vlfashington High School - a new graduation platform, newly acquired property, an im- proved baseball diamond, a new girls' playing field fas well as a new girls' gymnasium Hoorj, a band and instrument l l l room back of the auditorium, and a complete remodelling of the cafeteria are the steps now in process. Though the sur- face of things may change, the values which you received from the staff of over a hundred well trained teachers can- not be reflected in buildings, helds, or even graduation plat- forms. The knowledge acquired through regularly assigned work has helped carry you to graduation and will continue to help in many unrecognizable ways in years to come. But perhaps the biggest value which has come to you came through the close acquaintance with an exceptionally fine teacher. It may have been only a casual word of advice, it may have been helping you out of a personal difficulty, or it may have been getting you into difficulty at the moment which cleared the way for direct and frank dealing with future problems. VVithin your memory there has been no beginning of education or will there be an end. The foundations and ex- periences through which you have passed will build new foundations upon which you will develop the structure which best fits your life ambitions. DR. JOHN L. ABBOTT
