Be A Husky To be a Husky takes: - Spirit- Spirit is that feeling inside you. It’s a style. Vivacity. An enthusiastic loy¬ alty which can only be formed over time. - Pride- Pride in your school. Pride in your name. Pride in the orange and black. An attitude which makes you feel like 1. - Unity- The dictionary says the quality of being in one spirit. Unity is that which brings together all those with the husky spirit. It makes the school one. rpf- nr Be YOU! To be you takes: No one can tell you how to be you. Only you know how. To be you means not being someone else. Being proud enough of your¬ self and liking yourself enough to let peo¬ ple see who you are. You can’t put up a front, a wall, an act. You can’t try to be what others want you to be or what you think they want you to be. Being you means being an original, not a copy. Being you means being a student or an athlete or a husky. Being you means being what ever makes you happy. Alma Mater To thee our Alma Mater Our hearts will ere turn back We rally round the banner The orange and the black The light of truth and knowledge Forever will prevail Oh Washington we love you All hail, All hail THE ALMA MATER A Fading Symbol of Washington The words on the left should be familiar to all the students at Washington High. Yet many spend four years here and never once hear them sung. These are the words of our Alma Mater, our school song. At one time, it was sung at rallies, at sporting events. It was a symbol of pride and spirit for the school. Today, however, though some places still uphold this tradition, Washington does not. It is a symbol of our school which has gradually faded away. Today only a handfull can tell you the words. Some are even oblivious to its exis- tance. Maybe someday the usage of the song will come back into style here at Washington. For now it lingers only as a fading symbol.

WASHINGTON Some might ask what’s so special about Washington? Is it the variety of people you can find here at Washington? Is it the spirit shown by all the huskies here at school? Is it the laid back, easy going atmosphere here? Is it that person who flashes you a smile as you walk down the hall? Is it the rich heritage and pride created over Washington’s near 100 year history? Yes. It is all of these things and more. It is every student, every athlete, every husky. It is You that makes Washington so spe¬ cial.

The Best Class of It is not going too far out on a limb to safely say that lunch is everyone’s fa¬ vorite subject at school. Lunch is a time to relax, soak up some rays, be with friends and EAT! And eat we do here at Washington. We have a wide array of choices to choose from. The carefully planned meals available in the cafete¬ ria from the ever plesant hostesses is enough to please the most finicky eat¬ ers. You might care to begin your meal with a salad from the delicious, fresh salad bar. These choices, though widely the Whole Day! popular, cannot hold a candle to what the snack bar has to offer in the junk- food junkies eyes. Potato chips, cookies, twinkies, crumb cakes, candy, sand¬ wiches, hot dogs, and of course, pizza. If through all these choices your taste buds are not satisfyed, don’t dispair. The selection grows still further as you explore the menus of the near by fast food restaurants. You’re still not con¬ tent? Well never fear, there’s still one choice left. Brown bag it. 10
