Q-.211-fffvvlvl--I-ole!--f-l-1-12,1-nf-J Faculty HE FACULTY deserves much credit for a student's success. Few people, realize the importance of these individuals in the lives of students. With them rests the responsibility of seeing that each stu- dent has received an education that will enable him to carry on successfully in later life. Throughout each day, these teachers are being constantly besieged with questions: yet they answer all of them with an un- derstanding that bespeaks great self-con- trol and patience, virtues that are seldom found so bounteously in a large group. To them acrimony is unknown. In order to solve the countless problems that are constantly arising in high school life, teachers must possess a delicate skill in saying and doing what is expedient or suitable in trying circumstances. This skill enables them to maintain an unfaltering discipline among the students, which is maintained during the years of the admin- istration of school affairs. Most of these men and women possess an almost incredible sense of humor, which is seldom equaled in any other Portland i131 Miss Armitage Miss Baltimore Miss Barber Latin Mathematics English Mr. Bonbright Mr. Bouck Miss Brown Head Mathematics Science English Department Science Mr. Christensen Miss Cleland Miss Colton Manual Training Mathematics English .

Windnagle - Lamberson R. WINDNAGLE and Miss Lamberson are two mem- bers of the Washington faculty who have done much toward molding our high school careers and preparing us for our later life. Upon the shoulders of our vice-principal rests the responsibility of the smooth and efficient handling of our com- plex school affairs. Although his stern judgment has caused ZW .QWfwmf us many unpleasant moments, we still respect his fairness and admire his fine character. It is through his coaching that Washington has developed some of the greatest track athletes in the Northwest. His success in this sport can easily be understood when one takes into consideration the name he has made for himself on the cinder path. In con- junction with all these activities, he also teaches daily classes. We of the June '34 class feel that we owe to this man a great debt of gratitude for his untiring efforts in our behalf. Miss Lamberson, our dean, is a friend to everyone in the school. She represents to us a port where we can al- ways sail in case of a storm. She is always ready and will- ing to offer advice in perplexing situations and comfort in times of distress. It is through her timely advice and wise counsel that we have been able to carry on successfully the affairs of our large class. We sincerely appreciate the work she has performed in her wise and efficient handling of the Girls' League. It is the object of this body to support loyalty, friendship, higher scholarship, higher standards of womanliness among the girls, and to prepare the girls for carrying on the affairs of their class in a busi- ness-like fashion. In the drama of our high school careers, two of the leading parts were played by our vice-principal, Mr. Wind- nagle and our dean, Miss Lamberson. We have recognized their ability and knowledge in this drama and have fol- lowed, as best we could, in their footsteps. We have played our parts and are now embarked safely into the larger drama of life. But these two leaders will still remain on the old stage, coaching, encouraging, and leading the new groups who follow in our wake. To Mr. Windnagle and Miss Lamberson we extend our heartfelt appreciation for their splendid work. l12l

They appreciate and recognize a good joke, whether it be on themselves or on others. This does not mean that they permit foolishness and unnecessary waste of time upon trivial things, but it does mean that they create in their classes a friendly, informal atmosphere, that is so necessary in order to maintain a co-operat- ive organization. There have been students who thought our teachers showed partiality, but here they were wrong, for there was never a group of people endowed with a finer sense of justice. This virtue has shown itself in their impartial grading and judging of each pupil. They are willing to give credit where credit is due, and they have an in- definable gift of picking out those who are merely bluffing and are not deserving of credit. These teachers, as well as the pupils, realize how inadequate our present grading system is. It is a practical impossibility to divide such a large student body into four groups of different rank. We are all wait- ing for the time to come when a student will work for the hidden but solvable value E141
