Inflation hasn't deflated the problems Gas prices have over doubled since Washington opened in 1931. Even though prices have soared, students still drive to school. Some students live too close to ride a bus, or else they have another reason for driving to school. No matter how students get to school, they help to make WHS have the best attendance record for this district.

The reasoning for this is that if there were any reason for towing the car, they could contact the student about it. After parking their car in the park- ing Iot, students can go to their classes without any worry about their car being stolen or being messed up.

Spirit, pride tell the history of teams The shouts from the crowd, the cheers from the cheerleaders and the coaches with pride on their faces, tell the story of the history of Washing- ton High School's teams. Spirit! No matter how many games were won through the five decades here, everyone enjoyed going to the games, or hearing about them the next week at school. Much time was spent into getting ready for the home games and even more for the Home- coming Game. Many are in the publics eye at these games, but the backbone of these few are those who make those shouts become heard across the field and out into the streets, the sponsors, coaches and the students. Spirit is what is held high in and out of the publics eyesight. Pride?
