(.Dedication. Serit arbores quae atteri saeculo prosint AN ancient poet in commemor- ating the nobility of a great man said that he planted trees that succeeding generations would enjoy. With similar thought the first grad- uates of George Washington High School greet our beloved Superin- tendent and to him humbly and gratefully dedicate our first journal.

PERSONNEL George Washington was a surveyor, a man who saw a great future for an embryonic nation. We, too, are sur- veyors who foresee a great future for our school, now in its embryonic stage. Here in the shadow of the two mightiest bridges of the world, the city's fathers have built another mag- nificent structure, a school, not an ordinary school, but an institution of learning destined to turn out Americans with American ideals. With the most modern equipment, the latest methods of teaching, the Personnel may be likened to a sur- veyor, who uses as a transit his knowledge, with which he plans and builds from the unbroken ground a solid, substantial citizenry. Year after year the Surveyor will watch senior classes come and go. But none can take the place of this —our first graduating class.
