Supt. W. A r Lacey Asst. Supt. Arthur Jones Prin. Robert P. Klavano Asst. Prin. W. G. Ledbetter Please let me congratulate the staff members of this annual They have done an exceeding¬ ly difficult piece of work very well indeed. All of us have reason to be grateful to them. Let me likewise express my best wishes to all students in Wa-Hi. The consistent high quality of the average individual in our stu¬ dent body has been the cause of the recogni¬ tion given Wa-Hi among the high schools of the Northwest. As a way of training in democratic living,, nothing in this country ranks ahead of its goad high schools. If all other groups in our land were as reasonable and unselfish as the young people pictured in this book, we would be free of many of our present national prob¬ lems. The fact that the reins of government will soon be in the hands of the students now here gives every promise, as I see it, of good days ahead. Cordially, W. A, Lacey. Superintendent The 1949-50 annual is documentary evidence of one of the most successful years in die his¬ tory of the school. In the last student body assembly last year I suggested that, although the school had enjoyed a fine year, Wa-Hi could and should have even a better one this year. You have made this possible. In most of the activities in the school year a new “high” has been achieved through your efforts and accomplishments and those of the faculty. To the graduating Seniors may I say “well done,” A few years hence you may well be proud of having had a part in building rhe golden era” In the history of your school. To the underclassmen, a sincere wish t hat this era will be continued well into the future. Arthur D, Jones I am blessed as a newcomer to Wa-Hi, to inherit the responsibility of a school that is so well established. Phis year book will contain the many fine accomplish¬ ments of the school year 1949-50, I know, as the years go by, that you will often refer back to this successful year in your school life. As students of Wa-Hi, you may well feel proud of not only the honors, but your general good citizen¬ ship as well, h is especially gratifying to have had the contact and association with the class of 1950, My memories of you and your achievements will always remain, continue the good work, and life will reward you amply. Robert P, Klavano The publication of the Royal Blue is one of the finest traditions ar Wa-Hi. It contains a record of the accomplishments and achievements of the school year. With this annual, you can relive your high school days; through the pictures you can renew acquaintanceships. In this way the book will gain increasing value, 1 hope that you will look back on your high school days with pleasure and a feeling that the time spent was worthwhile preparation for later life. To the Seniors I extend congratulations. It has been a pleasure to know and work with you. W, G. Ledbetter Page 10
