Washburn High School - Wahian Yearbook (Minneapolis, MN)

Page 23 text:

An individual, unique in intellect. I strive to prove my ability and win admiration and respect as a single unit of thought. Seeking identity. I weigh myself against my peers and evaluate myself I exchange ideas with those like me and learn from them, but we reach a point at which our thirst for knowledge goes unsatisfied We band together and seek out classrooms, where we take on higher learning from those more educated than ourselves. We become a nation, using the tools of education to shape our destiny.

Administration Sights Opportunities of School To the students: Glancing through the pages of the Wahian one is immediately aware of the opportunities that exist for students in a comprehensive high school There are so many activities, and they require such a variety of skills and talents, that it would seem that almost every student in school should be able to take part in some extra-curricular activity This is as n should be. for one of the objectives of our system of education is to provide an opportunity for each student to develop whatever potential he possesses This is sometimes hard to do in a school the size of Washburn, but as I look through this annual it seems that we have done reasonably well in trying to provide students with an opportunity to take part in many phases of school life The students who like to express themselves can find an outlet in forensics, debate, dramatics, and in the school publications We have a well-rounded musical program for those who have either instrumental or vocal talents. The excellence of our athletic program for both boys and girls is a matter of record There are numerous clubs which are open to all students I am sure that most Washburn students will remember long after they have graduated the many enjoyable social events that occurred during the school year While it is true that the yearbook highlights the extra-curricular activities, there is also evidence that we have not forgotten that the main purpose of our school is to provide each student with a good education We are very proud of the academic honors that have been won by our students, and we are confident that our graduating seniors will continue in their pursuit of excellence.
