The entire Washburn faculty wishes you success and happiness. The Washburn Administration did a fine job handling the many problems caused by the school closings this year, despite the fact that major personnel changes had occurred. Wayne Nelson, who came this year from The Minneapolis Technical Institute, has proven to be a popular principal. Birch Jones was the new Assistant Principal assigned to Washburn. 8 Sincerely, Wayne Nelson, Principal

Counselors ROW 1: F. Voigt ROW 2: C. McKinnie. R. Treacy, V. Russell J. Donovan Robert Treacy - 1920-1982 Mr. Treacy arrived at Washburn at the beginning of this year in the mass faculty exchange caused by school closings. All students benefit from the numerous services offered by the counseling staff. In addition to giving advice and keeping track of credits earned, counselors provide an excellent service for students pursuing additional educational opportunities as they prepare transcripts and assemble various recommendations. Counselgrams and senior homerooms complete the ongoing services provided from this department. Jane Donovan, the Chemical Awareness Counselor, offers counseling to students who either have family members with chemical problems, or who themselves have problems. She leads support groups and an Alateen group. A new part of her job this year was helping athletes understand their commitment of not using chemicals while participating in athletics. He chose to come to Washburn to accept a new challenge in his thirtieth year as a teacher, coordinator, and counselor in the Minneapolis Public Schools. Washburn students and faculty, though knowing him for only a brief period of time, are better having met this unusual man.
