LOBAUGH SPEAKS - - In the chronological pattern of your life this will be “the year after the war . I finished high school the year after the war , you will tell your friends in years to come. I hope it is the only such war you will have occasion to know. It has been good to see some of the pressure removed from our senior boys —to know that they can finish school and graduate with their class, even though they face a period of military service later. It has been fine to see so many of the older boys come back, anx¬ ious to finish high school or to make arrangements for higher education. You have been a good student body this year—on the whole loyal, co-opera¬ tive, and businesslike. You have taken the incidents of an upsetting year in stride; you have produced splendid re¬ sults in some fields of student endeavor, good results in nearly all. I hope that you will remember “the year after the war“ with a sense of satis¬ faction. Dean Lobaugh, Principal LACEY SPEAKS - - - This little book will be valued by you, the students of Wa-Hi, as the years come and go. But not because of what I or anyone else may write in it. Rather, you will find in the pictures of your friends and in the activities of the school the values which will increase as time goes on. Keep this volume where you can pick it up 5—35—65 years from now. You who are finishing high school this year will always be glad that you saw it through; you who may think of dropping out should take a new grip and hang on. I have seen many people who regretted not having completed high school or college, but I have never met one who was sorry that he stayed to the end. Tomorrow will be a day of specialists. Prepare yourself so well that the world will need you. Know some field so well that to work will be a pleasure. The man whose work seems play, will make progress, and be happy. The relief rolls are made up of those who have never learned to do any difficult thing well. W. A. Lacey Superintendent

Katherine was admired by the many students who knew her well, and her friendli¬ ness and personality will be cherished by them. Though no longer with us, in this book, as in our hearts, the fond memories of Katherine Kimmerly and Coach Orville Hult are enshrined forever We wish to pay our respects, too, to the late Clarence Steel smith, who, although not on the faculty during the past two years, left a great imprint on the life of our school.
