MR. GOOLD PRinciPRL’s messflCE The termination of the school year 1945-1946 has a peculiar significance to me. It marks the closing of the fourth year of the present administration. The Senior Class of 1946 and I were, in a sense, freshmen together four years ago. I hope these four years have been as happy to them as they have been to me. They have been years of work, and play, and accomplishment. The school, with its physical facilities and well trained staff, has endeavored to place the students in real-life situations through which they might learn initiative and straight thinking in meeting their problems, as well as that behavior desirable in American com¬ munity life. Judging from the comments of supervisors, visitors, and others whose judg¬ ment is deemed authentic, the lessons taught have been well learned. The greatest satisfaction that any administrator or group of teachers can have is the knowledge that the products of their teaching are equipped to go into the world with a background which will allow them a reasonable degree of success in their chosen field. You, the class of 1946, have proven by your every action that you have the necessary attributes which will make you excellent citizens and bring you success in your chosen field of work. Mere words cannot express my gratitude and affection for each of you, or how much your loyalty and cooperation have contributed to the ease of administering the school these past four years. 8

TRUSTEES To fhe gentlemen on the Board of Trustees who have served our high school so well during the past year, we students express our deepest gratitude. They are carrying on one of the highest types of community service, one which is fundamental to our Democracy, the maintenance and the development of our public schools through local community leadership. During the past year, the freshmen on the Board of Trustees, Mr. Sam G. Scott, Mr. A. E. Alameda, and Mr. Edward E. Enos, have fully demonstrated their ability as trustees and their devotion to the best interests of our school. Our veteran members on the Board of Trustees, Mr. Herbert Harrold and Mr. An¬ drew K. Logan, are nearing the close of their sixteenth year of splendid service to our school. For sixteen years they have given their time and their energy to the problems of high school administration without monetary compensation. Their compensation and that of our new trustees is the satisfaction of having done well a very worthwhile job. These five members of the Board of Trustees, working with our District Superintend¬ ent, Mr. Goold, and Vice-Principal, Mr. Gravestock, are formulating plans for the de¬ velopment of our facilities to meet the greatly increased enrollment which is expected within a few years. They have had reconversion problems to meet and those involv¬ ing educational opportunities for the returning veterans. Last year three members of our Board of Trustees resigned. Mr. John Oliveira had served since 1931; Mr. M. J. Overacker, since 1927. Also resigning last year after several years of fine service was Mr. Robert Francis. We students sincerely appreciate their years of unselfish service to Washington Union High School. 7
