JEANETTE Pock, counselor, assists a pupil in planning her progran for her next semester's study. 1 Maintaining a balance b e t w e e n work and play is the key to success in the comprehensive high school of the twentieth century. 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. The Continentals are a hard work- ing student body. 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. Continentals were kept very busy in the classroom. An expanded cur- riculum at Washington made it pos- sible for pupils to be even more sel- ective in choosing areas they wished and needed to study. Among new courses added this year were Dra- matics I, psychology. international relations, sociology. business Eng- lish. and business arithmetic. 11
