Another May and another Royal Blue! Another graduation and another group of ' eager beavers 1 ' rushing out of the front door in all directions- to college, to ranches, to shops, trades, stores, and homes You ' ll never forget Wa-Hi—no chance of it It has already stamped end sealed you for better or worse. Everything you did here, every A you made, or class you cut, helped determine your fate, whether you knew it or admitted it You are off now on your own as far as Wa-Hi is concerned. May you go far (no offense intended); we think you will. Some time when you can get to it, please see what ' s wrong with the world situation and fix it. Likewise, there are some bugs in the domestic econ¬ omy You might attend to them, too Seriously, if you can t improve the world, who can? Others are getting nowhere fast. You just must! Treasure this little book. It will mean more to you twenty years hence than it means now Pictures are the best keepsakes, especially pictures of dear friends The Royal Blue could be regarded as a book To the students of Walla Walla High School and particularly to the Seniors, it would more properly be regarded as an album —a pictorial record of the school year 1947-48. The student body has every reason to be justly proud of the record herein contained. In all phases of the extra curricular program, as well as in the curricular, the record speaks for itself Notwithstanding the fact that this was a year for Flu and Mumps , your achievement individ¬ ually and collectively has been most gratifying to those on the faculty who have worked with and for you. With the Seniors goes a very sin¬ cere wish that your college or work experience will be successful and that in the years to come you will increas¬ ingly cherish the memories contained in the pages of the 1948 Royal Blue.

The faculty—the most discussed and most important group of a school—this year had seven new additions in Wa-Hi. They were Ruth Gray, teaching English and photography; Richard Wooten and Pete Hanson, both coaches and social studies teachers; Robert McGrath of the science department; Felix Fletcher, a physical ed. instructor and coach; Margaret Guenther, instructor of vocational education; Cap¬ tain Pulley of the R.GXTG. department; and Alvira Gustafson, school nurse. Every member of the faculty holds some extra-curricular position. They may be advisors to the stu¬ dents ' service clubs or act on one or more of the five faculty committees. These committees and their chairmen are: Discipline, Ralph Emigh; Gate, Paul Reed; National Honor Society, Ruth Hanson; Guid¬ ance, Glenn Ledbetter; Flower, Lillian Lindner, and Social Affairs, Paul Reed. Of particular merit was the extensive development of the visual education program under the direc¬ tion of Mrs. Alice Kenyon. Besides some new projection machines, there are now two rooms in which the films are shown. These two rooms are in use an average of 58 hours a week. Being a teacher may seem to be an easy job; but the responsibility and the activities they shoulder in that evenimportant field of education makes it necessary that they have not only expert knowledge . of the subject they teach, but the ability to transfer this knowledge to their students.
