A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL To the Members ot the Senior Class: Authorities keep reminding us that the vvar can be vvon through the saving ot rubber and gasoline. Again we are told that it is tood that will decide the issue. But the real hope ot this country lies in something greater than rolling stock and pantry stores, however desperately these things are neededg the hope ot this country rests with its young people-the boys and girls who are attending our schools and are receiving diplo- mas ot graduation-a tribute ot the community to their proticiency and citizenship. These young people have the spirit and the training to meet the shock ot War courageouslyg they have the sanity and common sense to tace the problems ot the peace serenely and build tor themselves and us the tuture ot manl4ind's dreams.

FALL - 1942 l-li-lighted by such events as the Scrap Dance, student emigration to the harvest fields, the intro- duction of the Victory Corps project, and the Eagles-GSS. Jinx, the Fall term '42 swung merrily along with Nat Garibaldi holding the student body president's gavel, assisted by Marilyn Brunton, vice president, Coriene Pfaeffle, secretary, Howard John- son, treasurer, Bill Rose, athletic manager, Bob Smith, custodian, and Allan Butler, yell leader. A tin can dance, held just before Thanksgiving vacation, was one of the many social events of the term, Admission was a tin can, which was later used to make a happier holiday for many needy families. November is also the month which students will cherish in their memories for the system of stag- gered hours that was put into effect, probably the first time in history, and all cheered the city ruling of a school day from 9100 to 2:30. Low senior Joanne Mitchell introduced an idea to the student council which resulted in a happier Christmas for many former Washington graduates now in the service. With the help of Mr. Willard Gates, who compiled a list of the boys and their stations, Christmas packages were sent to these boys. The junior class, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Birdeen Gowan, contributed money for the baking of fifty pounds of fruit cakes to go to many unknown servicemen stationed in Alaska. Also for the benefit of servicemen, the Eagles and G.S.S. joined forces to present a jinx on January l9. Featured on the program were Criss Tull and Tommy Smith and The Shooting of Dan McGrew. The senior play, The Late Christopher Beane, by Sidney l-loward, was presented January l4, and at the closing, Miss l-lelen Archer, director, an- nounced her departure to government work in Alaska The Fall term '42 will be long remembered by all Washingtonians. ilrufxr Nat Garibaldi Marilyn Brunton - Coriene Pfaeffle Dick Foster - Bob Smith Allan Butler 5 l-larold Winnans
