Another school year is drawing to a close, a year of problems, of crises, of hopes and dreams, and a fair measure of accomplishment. Again, at this time, we become deeply aware of our indebtedness to the members of the Board of Trustees who give so generously of their time and their thought that Washington Union High School may continue to maintain its high standard of service to our community. The members of our Board of Trustees have given their support to departmental projects, such as the building and developing of the green¬ house by the agriculture department. They have backed our athletic program, making possible its expansion. They have cooperated with local industry toward providing adequate transportation for war-essential workers by leasing our buses during the summer for use within the township. In such ways, the Board of Trustees demonstrates its policy of provid¬ ing a well-rounded, realistic education on the secondary level for the young people of this community, and of keeping our school community-centered. We regretted the resignation of Mr. Robert R. Francis from the Board of Trustees, on which he had served faithfully and well for one and one- half terms. Appointed by County Superintendent Vaughn Seidel, Mr. Sam Scott of Newark succeeds Mr. Francis as trustee member. The staff of the Washingtonian, on behalf of the students and the faculty, wish to express our appreciation to Mr. Overacker, Mr. Harrold, Mr. Oliveira, Mr. Logan, and Mr. Francis for their continued service to our school and our community, and our welcome to Mr. Scott as he identi¬ fies himself with our school.

MR. HIRD MR. GOOLD MISS KNOLES MR. GRAVESTOCK PrinciftaiA IfleMafe Nothing in life remains static. Institutions as well as persons either develop to give a greater degree of efficiency or they lapse into uselessness and are therefore discarded. Our institution of learning, our high school, has progressed this year. It is turning out a product that is fitted to make a distinct contribution to the life of this community and to the nation. The product is you, the student and graduate of 1945 . Not only has the course of studies been enriched, but many life-like situations have been presented for the students to study and discuss with their instructors and associates. The reactions on the part of the students have been healthy, profitable, and correct. This year, from the standpoint of the administration, has been one of harmony, accomplishment, and happiness, and its success has been due to the spirit of unity shown by the Student Body. 9
