The Vice-Principclls MISS jACKSON'S MESSAGE To the Members of the Spring '39 Class: You hold a distinctive place not alone because you entered George Washington when its doors were Hrst opened in August, 1936, but because you have made through three years a warm and enduring place in the hearts of all Washington students and teachers. As you meet the future, will you show the same staunch and fair-minded spirit that has char- acterized you as you have worked out your problems in school? Will you remember that everything remains yet to be done-right, everything and that each one of you has a share in helping to make things right? Giving allegiance only to that which you know to be just, building into your lives a phil- osophy of concern for all-not alone for yourselves --having ideas and ideals worth living for, will you not try to make the world a better place in which to be? ELEANOR M. JACKSON Vice-prinrifml WILLIAM A. WIELAND V ire-principal MR. WIELAND'S MESSAGE Upon the members of the class of june, 1939, rests a great responsibility.

,Ad ministrcto I' 671 ERNEST CUMMINGS Principal BUILDERS TOGETHER One manifestation of democracy is the acceptance of co- operative service as a way of life. Each member of a community is a fellow worker in a democracy at work. The Class of june, 1939, has lived and labored through its whole Senior High School span at George Washington. It is the pioneer class. The dynamic four hundred who compose this class have been responsible for most of the achievements for which their school already is well known. Buildings have gone up around this class, traditions arisen through it, and the most cherished records of the school have been engrossed indelibly with the names of its members. But the class knows that it has been building not for itself alone, but for a future to be shared and enjoyed by generations of students to come. And yet this class will share. A school grows through the continued accomplishments of those who have passed through its halls. Such a thought compensates us for the loss that the graduation of this class entails. The school will be more effectively at work in its world. Through its graduates it will pursue its destined way over a span of gold.
