But fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near; And never, never be afraid to die. For I am waiting in the When I must leave you for a little while — Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years But start bravely with a gallant smile; And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Faculty 5 School Life 14 Sports . . . . 33 Freshman .... 52 Sophomores .... 56 Juniors ....60 Seniors .... 70 Advertising . . ....87 ■ 4 WASHBURN'S BOARD OF EDUCATION - Back Row, L. to R.: Mr. Herbert Jackson, District Administrator; Mr. Constantine Carlos, Director-; Mr. Robert Olson, Director.

Do Not Follow Where The Path Leads, Rather, Go Where There Is No Path And Leave A Trail 85 um QWi.L AND WHAT DO WE REMEMBER’ We looked back and remembered the happy times, feeling the rewards of hard work and dedication. At other times we felt all alone, isolated in the midst of a crowd. Our existence was one of constant new beginnings ond con- tinuous endings that filled our lives and our memories. It was our year, molded by the vast and diverse character of who we were and had become! 86 Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it within us or we find it not.
