Administrators MISS KIRWIN Although busy teaching history courses and playing the part of senior registry teacher, Miss Marie Kirwin has success- fully guided the first three classes of graduates from George Washington High School in her capacity of Senior Sponsor. Miss Kirwin, who is the head of the George Washington history department, has taught at this school for the full two and one-half years of its existence. Be- fore coming here she taught civics and economics at Mission High School. When not busy teaching, Miss Kirwin takes a great deal of pleasure in garden- ing and traveling. She has traveled ex- tensively through the United States and Canada. MR. RIPLEY Mr. Ripley has taught at George Wash- ington High School since it opened. In addition to teaching physics, he is busy in sponsoring school clubs. Being sponsor of the Camera Club and in charge of the Movie Operators takes up most of his spare time. Upon his graduation from the University of California, Mr. Ripley went to Sacra- mento where he taught science and math- ematics. He is interested in traveling and as a result has enjoyed the scenic wonders of both Canada and Mexico. Mr. Ripley’s favorite sport is tennis, while he enjoys photography as his hobby. MISS COOK Miss Jane Cook, who came to George Washington in August, 1937, teaches journalism, English, and history. Before coming to Washington she taught journalism at Laton High School in Fres- no County. She received her degree of Master of Arts at Stanford University and since then has worked on newspapers as well as taught school. While in college she worked on school publications. Her main interest is in newspaper work, but her outside interests are painting, horseback riding, piano playing, and ten- nis. Since coming to George Washington, Miss Cook has sponsored the publication of all three journals and has been faculty advisor for the last fourteen “Eagles.”’ (10) MR. ERNEST J. CUMMINGS Principal MR. CUMMINGS’ MESSAGE You Can’t Miss It: In traveling through unfamiliar lands one needs to stop occasionally to ask directions and establish his bearings. Almost always, after he has been set right and his way made clear, the traveler receives this parting assurance, something like a benedic- tion: “You can’t miss it.” You Seniors have reached the first important stop sign on your journey toward the distant reaches ahead. The green signal will flash soon and you will be on your way. Let this Surveyor go with you as a constant re- minder of the faith and fellowship of the friends recorded in its pages. These friends know that the road you have chosen will lead you onward from horizon to horizon of achievement: YOU CANS MISS

Now we bid you fare- well as graduates. As you leave, you have our best wishes, and our hope that from your stay at George Washington High School, you take with you a storehouse of pleasant memories, a band of staunch friends, the consciousness of a common task well done in the upbuilding of this school, and increased fitness to confront the next task that awaits you.
