 Miss Adams talks over the yearbook plans with co-editors Donna Baldocchi and Karen Gainey. MISS ADAMS' MESSAGE If one were asked what makes a school great each of us would give answers reflecting our own experience and our own interests. However, we could all agree that excellent teachers and diligent, disciplined students are basic to scholastic success. In addition we would agree that certain important conditions promote school spirit and morale; namely, strong student government, good sportsmanship and a well balanced program of athletics, social activities and special interest clubs. George Washington High School has all of these hallmarks of greatness and has them in generous meas- ure. By way of extra distinction we can point to the beauty of the buildings and the million dollar view in all directions. Finally since you, the students, are our most important product,” your every day performance is of the utmost importance in maintaining the stand- ards that have given the school its fine reputation. You need only look at the outstanding record made by George Washington graduates for proof that their con- sistent efforts have been rewarded with success. This past school year has been a big one from the standpoint of enrollment with over 2900 students and 121 faculty members. However, size alone is no dis- tinction, nor is it a reason for rejoicing. Rather it should have given us a sharper awareness of the need to work harmoniously and courteously with others. You have shown your good will in many ways and I am most appreciative of your cooperation. Certainly the first year as the principal of George Washington High School has been a rewarding experience for me. Your gracious welcome and the continuing support of the whole student body, the faculty and the Parent Teacher Association have made this a great year. I am especially frateful to the seniors — graduates of Fall '62 and pring '63 for their part in my education as a principal. To them I give my thanks and sincere congratulations. May their future success be measured not only in ma- terial ways but in more lasting and satisfying things of the spirit—human understanding and respect for the rights of all mankind. 6 Ruth M. Adams, Principal
