Mr. Schmaelzle ' s Anniversary Message Twenty-five years ago George Washington High School was founded by men and women who believed that one of the prime responsi- bilities of a school in addition to scholarship, is to instill loyalty, high ideals, and determi- nation in its students. Through the years the administration and faculty of this school have tried to teach its students to have loyalty to others and to themselves and to have high ideals and the firm determination to work towards them. The faculty and administrators realize that a school can only teach these values and the actual learning and applying of them is the responsibility of the students. The real test of these teachings will come when you, as graduates, decide whether or not to live as human beings dedicated to these ideals. So, as this Twenty-Fifth Anniversary year draws to a close, I offer my heartiest congrat- ulations to the teachers, students, graduates, and alumni of this great school. 0. I. SCHMAELZLE Mr. 0. I. Schmaelzle, principal, discusses the 25th Anniversary Yearbook with co-editors Gail Cann and Naomi Kates. 22
