The first time I saw Wakeheld I thought, This is a school to be remembered. I especially noted that first day the wide halls of your beautifully designed building, your light and attractive classrooms, your well-equipped laboratories and shops. I suppose every student remembers the lighter side of high school-friendships with classmates, excitement of school athletics, satisfactions gained from working on school publications and in student g-overnment, creative joys from school music and dramatics, and the sheer fun of school social functions. But I soon came to realize that, above all else, Wakeheld will be remembered for its educational program. I have come to know your fine principal, Wilson, and I have learned of the excellent courses offered at Wakeheld under your well-trained and conscientious teachers. To be sure, you will always remember Wakeheld for the beauty of the building and for the many happy extra-cur- ricular activities which H11 your leisure hours. But, for most of you, as you grow older, Wakeheld will be remembered for the sound education it offered you. Yes, Wakeheld is truly a school to be remembered. I congratulate you, students and faculty, on your fine achieve- ments in your excellent school. RAY REED Superintendent of Schools, Arlington County
