In the 1968 World of Washington High School, pupils had many opportunities to participate in numerous activities. Continentals were totally in- volved in academic and extra-curricular areas in various Ways. This year the Student Council sponsored a Leg Contest and dance at Homecoming. They also sponsored Spirit Week in which the entire stu- dent body participated. During the week of the basketball Sectional tournament, Continentals chased and ultimately captured at a pep session the Spirit of '65, a spirit representing the en- thusiasm Which engulfed the school during the successful State championship quest of 1965. Theatrical productions played a big part in the school year. The Thespians and the orchestra Worked hard in presenting The Diary of Anne Frank, Arsenic and Old Lace, and Annie, Get Your Gun. Fashion was in the forefront this year as us- ual.

Continentals strive to achieve this balance. Convocations featuring everything from a panel of state farm prisoners to a Civil War historian helped break the routine of the daily schedule.

Many pupils spent hundreds of hours outside school time to bring honors in speech, debate. dramatics, m u s i c, journalism a n d athletics to Washington. Pupils also worked hard on the junior and senior proms, the Continental 5l'l0 bicycle race, and the spring musical produc- tion of A n n i e, G et Your Gun. among many other activities during the school year. Senior Gail Horner was the recip- ient of the s ch o o l ' s 1968 DAR award. This award is given annually to the senior girl who is most out- standing in history.

Among new courses added this year were Dra- matics I, psychology. international relations, sociology. business Eng- lish. and business arithmetic. 11
