PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE This message might be called the principal ' s annual report to you, the students of Washington Union High School, of your progress during the year 1944. You, as students, are to be commended for the spirit of cooperation and know how you have exhibited during this, the third year of world strife. Those of you who have had to enter the armed forces before your graduation have done so in a manner that indicates you will attain the same success in your army and navy career as you did in your student affairs. Those of you who remain at home have purchased war stamps and bonds, salvaged essential materials, given generously to the Red Cross, and other agencies so essential to the war effort, studied modern nutrition, and conducted yourselves as useful members of a well-organized and smoothly-running, democratic community. All of you have become increasingly aware that the rights and privileges of citizen¬ ship in our great nation carry with them duties and obligations. Among these is your duty to develop physical and mental fitness, so that you may be prepared to contribute the best of which you are capable to your country. As your principal, I am proud of the way in which you are developing this sense of responsibility. You are taking advantage, with greater seriousness, of the training which your high school offers you. This is a time when high school students must of necessity grow up fast. You are learning the discipline and the self-control that is necessary to your finest development. You are learning to get along with others, to respect the rights and views of others, and to work with others toward common goals. The faculty and I have faith in you. We believe that you are developing the attitudes and ideals and the mental and physical abilities with which you will help to build a better tomorrow. MR. GOOLD MRS. MEGAN MR. REES

STUDENT COUNCIL Under the leadership of our president, Ernest Tremblay, and of our able Student Council, the Associated Students of Washington Union High School have completed their fifteenth year of student government. This year the first big activity was the sale of membership cards, which provide for the finances for most student activities. The new plan of selling cards in the sixth period classes was tried out and worked well, although the goal of 100% membership was not reached. Another activity that added both to the finances and to the social life of the school was the installing of the Juke Box in the gym to give music for noon dancing. One of the important activities of the Council is the planning of entertaining and educational programs for the student body assemblies. Among these have been student talent shows; several movies; professional singers, dancers and pianists; and athletic assemblies. This year the Council decided that recognition should be given to that group that always works so faithfully behind the scenes at all of our plays. Accordingly an amendment to the constitution was proposed to the student body and it was voted to give awards to the stage crew. In addition to the more serious activities, the Council enjoyed two parties— one early in the year and the other a picinc with the new officers in the spring. Mr. Goold is the adviser of the Student Council. 10
