ARCHITECTURE-W A S H I N G T O N WITH ITS BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS, SHADED ARCADES, AND SYMMETRICAL LA N D- SCAPE IS SURELY AN ARCHITECT'S DREAM. AFTER BEING BUILT, WASHINGTON IN TURN BECAME A BUILDER AND ITS ADMINIS- TRATION AND FACULTY BECAME ARCHITECTS OF MODERN YOUTH. ITS ACADEMIC COURSES BUILD STRONG MINDS AND A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE. SPORTS AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED BY WASHINGTON CREATE A STRONG SENSE OF SPORTSMANSHIP TO BUILD HEALTHY BODIES. CHARACTER, A DETERMINING FACTOR OF SUCCESS OR FAILURE IN TODAY'S TROUBLED WORLD, IS BUILT THROUGH MEMBERSHIP IN THE MANY OR- GANIZATIONS AVAILABLE AT WASHINGTON AND THROUGH THE DESIRE TO ATTAIN THE VARIOUS HIGH HONORS WHICH CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH STUDY AND SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. YES, WASHINGTON IS MORE THAN A MAGNIFI- CENT BUT LIFELESS WORK OF AN IMAGINATIVE ARCHITECT, IT IS A STANDING SYMBOL OF BUILDING TODAY'S YOUTH AND TOMORROW'S LEADERS, IN MIND, CHARACTER, AND BODY.
