Beauty, grace, and freshness greet us as we approach the portals of George Washington High School. PREFACE viser, for her patience and untiring efforts in behalf of the December 1937 edition of the Surveyor, we extend our thanks and appreciation. Mere words cannot express the gratitude of the staff for the invaluable work done by Miss Eleanor Parsons in finances and circulation. The salesmanship and advertising classes, under the direction of Mr. Rufus Balaam, were always to be relied upon to sell pledge cards and solicit for advertisments. Miss Haidee Tobriner is to be thanked for her kind cooperation in regard to the cover design and division pages. To Mrs. L. N. Herrick and Mr. J. H.

Whether the PERSONNEL, ORGANIZATIONS, and ATHLETICS have been pictured to show their true function will be proved in the pages that follow.
