Zlfa slulvgqim wa 47Qyeafrs GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES! A local automobile dealer Crightj hands the keys of the school's first driver training car to Vice-Principal Justin E. Marshall in 1949. Standing to the left of Mr. Marshall are Mr. John Wlliams, driver education instructor, and Mrs. Elizabeth Hatfield, a Washington physical education teacher now retired. Washington progresses with time in the George Washington High School has served for 40 years as a first class educational institution. Many changes and improvements have been made in nearly every department in the school. New machinery and tools are being employed in both the industrial arts and home economics de- partments. Reading and language laboratories have made marked improvements in the fields of Eng- lish and foreign languages. The driver training pro- gram has been greatly expanded in recent years. New types of audio-visual aid equipment are now assisting teachers in every field of study. Student teachers from many colleges and uni- versities have brought fresh, new ideas and modern teaching techniques to those already long-estab- lished ones in the Washington classroom. Washington has moved ahead and kept up with the rapidly changing times. It is little wonder, therefore, that George Washington High School has emerged as a champion in nearly every field, in- cluding that of academics. 4 Sf f fif can , IJ? if Up f 43 .4 Q PORTABLE.. .Mr. U.D.

for a greater Westside For the past 40 years, administrators, faculty, and students have combined their knowledge and ambitions to come up with not only activities for fun and pleasure, but activities that will continue to improve and build the school to make it a bigger and better source of education and progress for the' Westside community. The addition of an adult evening school in 1963 has gone a long Way toward achievement of the ultimate goal-education for every Westside citizen. The Washington leaders have worked hand-in-hand with civic and commun- ity leaders to cope with the problems and the pro- gress of the ever-growing Westside community.
