DEDICATION The class of 1946 dedicates this year's edition of the Cache to our janitors, George Lunger and Felix Smith. Every autumn Gippy” and Smitty” put up the snow fence and mark off the football field in preparation for the season’s games. At the first sign of cold weather they start the fires and keep them going until spring brings warm fair days. It may snow during the night, but by the time we students arrive, the walks are clean and the ice is sprinkled with ashes. Spring is heralded by the sound of the power mower which drifts through open windows. Every day by three o'clock, they can be seen cleaning classrooms and halls. Wc appreciate their unselfishness in giving up some of their few free hours in the evening so that wc may hold dances and other school activities. Wherever and whenever help is needed, be it a refractory locker or a non-cooperative shade, the call goes out for Smitty” and Gippy.” Despite all our demands on them, they greet us always with a smile and friendly word. In fact, we feel that Mr. Lunger and Mr. Smith are an indispensable part of our school and our school life, and we take this opportunity to tell them publicly of our appreciation. Cip in action'. Could this be heaven? George Lunger Felix Smith

OUR SCHOOL FACULTY The lights of civilization are being rekindled throughout the world. The darkness of war, greed suffering, and famine is being driven from the earth. Mankind must learn the art of living together before it is too late. Civilization must move forward. It is your challenge and your responsibility as students to help build a better world. May you succeed where we have failed! May the guidance received at Washington High School enable you to play nobly your part. We are counting on you. Joseph W. Howe Supervising Principal When the atomic bomb burst in Japan, men suddenly became aware that they were to live in a world with undreamed of power for good or evil. This event made it urgent that we educate ourselves to control this power if we are to live in peace and happiness. It is up to you to see that we do not let atomic power work for evil. The world is changing; you must change with it. See to it that these changes do not dissipate the sources for good of all that has gone before, as the explosion in New Mexico vaporized the steel tower. In America you have the opportunity to protest or approve. Use this power intelligently at all times when you hear of injustice. Remember that true happiness comes through service to others and loyalty to your home, country and church. Donald H. Fritts Principal £7]
