JACK O'BRIEN President Student Body LOIS CURRIE Vice-President NAT GARIBALDI Tren surer Student lady in Stkide with fu By JACQUELINE THOMPSON The Student Body of George Washington has been devoting itself to the serious business of aiding in the national emergency during the school term just closed. Students were found eager to serve in any capacity, to aid as Auxil- iary firemen, in the Red Cross disaster relief units, and in the sale of war bonds, a field in which the school led all high schools in the city. Symbolizing the youth of San Francisco on the birthday of Colonel Andrew Summers Rowan, Student Body President jack O'Brien, Vice- President Lois Currie, and a color guard from the R.O.T.C., went to the Letterman General Hospital to visit him. Colonel Rowan was the man who carried single-handed a vital message to the rebel Colonel Calixito Garcia in the Cuban jungles during the Spanish-American War. To start the social activities of the term rolling, the traditional Senior- Soph Reception was held in the girls' gym, and served to acquaint the low sophs with the high seniors. During the basketball season bigger and better game rallies were held, with President Jack O'Brien officiating. The social activities were very ably taken care of by Vice-President Lois Currie. One of the big events of the term was the May Fete, held on April 30, and was very successful. The Senior Advisory Committee under the direction of Barbara Schlegel and Edward Smith was very active during the term. The last dance of the term was given by the G.S.S. and Eagle Society. President Jack O'Brien, with his smiling Irish personality, and vivacious Vice-President Lois Currie led the Student Body to greater heights. Hard-working Alice Penna, secretary, took care of the Executive Council minutes, and Treasurer Nat Garibaldi who so ably conducted the sale of Student Body cards, Dick Behrens, custodian, who kept our many trophies in their sparkling condition, and Athletic Manager Ted Harris who so successfully handled the sale of game tickets. Our school spirit was boosted by Head Yell Leader Girard Rhine. Altogether this term has been one of the most successful at George Washington and will always be remembered by the students.

W 1 W w if 14 Weed With Zfou, me. Cqmminga: Mr. Cummings, it's getting near the end of our three years at Washington and before we leave I just wish to tell you how we feel. All of us have had the opportunity to come in contact with you through the years and have grown to like and respect you. Many happy days have been ours at Washington, and now we all go forward to repay our country for those happy times, to do something that will make secure similar days for the future. just as you, Mr. Cummings, joined twenty-five years ago, many of us will go into the armed forces today, some to face the grim realities of war and return as meng some will not come back. Others will go into factories and offices to do war work-not in defense, but in ojjfenre industries. Although we leave George Washington with some reluctance, we go forth eagerly, glad that we may do our part. Determination is in our hearts so that when we sing, O say can you see by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming ?, it shall never again be with doubt or fear-but shall always be as a cry of new hope! We graduates of Spring 1942, the second class to graduate during war-times, say not good-bye to our teachers and school, but just until we meet again.
