MR. LOGAN MR. OLIVEIRA MR. OVERACKER MR. FRANCIS MR. HARROLD TRUSTEES We, the students of Washington Union High School, wish to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Overacker, Mr. Logan, Mr. Oliveira, and Mr. Harrold, who have given many years of service and guidance to our school, and also to Mr. Francis, whom we greet as a newcomer this year to the Board of Trustees, for the splendid job they have done during the past year. Through their efforts we were fortunate to have bought a new school bus. The shop department, which has been enlarged to make way for a greater national defense effort, is particularly grateful for its new mechanical equipment. The trustees have been active in accumulating funds for a new addition to the school in the not too distant future. They have also been active in the drawing up of plans for WPA projects after the emergency. Because of the emergency the curriculum has been changed to include a shop course, which will enable seniors to go directly into defense work, as well as home nursing and first aid. The evening school also revised its curriculum to emphasize classes beneficial to home defense such as first aid, nursing, and welding, as well as other shop work. All in all, the past year has proved to be a trying one for the Board of Trustees and so once again we sincerely thank them for their splendid work and congratulate them on a job well done. 6
