The final selection is admittedly the cream of the crop-the best Washington has to offer. Of- ficers elected by the Hono.r Society in its first meeting were Earl Lind, pres- ident, John Turean, vice-president, and Jeanette German, secretary-treasurer. Pictured below are two of the members of the society who were unable to a-Ltertd at the time the formal picture was being taken, and consequently have received the dubious honor of individual pictures pushed off to a side.

I A study in co-operation-Here we have two budding young chemists, John on the left and Henry on the right, performing an experiment together. John by himself could have per- formed the same experiment, with the same result, and Henry, working unaided, could also have performed the same experiment, but neither of them working alone could have performed the experiment .... as quickly and as conveniently as could both of them working together. This same principle, applied on a larger scale, is what makes government and civilization possible. Man as an individual working alone can not perform those opera- tions necessary to life as effectively as can man working as a part of an organization of society. John and Henry are merely getting a prevue of what will be expected of them when they have graduated and become independent members of society. 17

7ke glade! of '39 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS The senior class officers--a three way cross sec- tion of the Class of '39. President George Germek- quiet, dark, and obliging. Secretary-treasurer Emma Skrtic-the personality girl, with a smile on her lips and a song in her heart. Vice-president Dave McCooe -a tall rollicking Irishman with a cheery grin and a wave in his hair. George is an old hand at the officering game, he served a full term as vice-president of the junior class, and did such a fine job that his class thought George deserved a promotion, and subse- quently elevated him one step to his present position. Emma is the typical high school girl, having won that distinction in a poll conducted by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Dave is the athletic type, he dabbled a bit in football and track, and co- captained the swimming team. WW M C2fffLffQ ci.Ass orriceizs
