MR. WINDNAGLE The success of the Washington High School student body rests largely with the vice-principal, whose work con- sists of handling the finances and school's activities. The position of the vice-principal is one of great re- sponsibility. Our vice-principal, Mr. Windnagle, has proved most efficient in seeing that our school affairs have run smoothly. It has been through his untiring efforts that the January '37 class has been a successful one. Mr. Windnagle is also our track coach. His teams show his own high ideals and sense of fair play. l MISS LAMBERSON The office of Dean is one of the most important in a high school. This office must be filled by a woman of the finest character and background. She must be an example for the girls who compose our student body. Miss Lamberson, our illustrious Dean, has capably filled this office, and, for her timely advice, is admired and loved by all who know her.

MR. BOYD The years come and go, but there is never a day when Mr. Boyd, with a smile of encouragement and good cheer, ceoses in his un- tiring efforts to solve problems that are constantly confronting a high school student. Without his guiding hand, many of us would have fallen by the wayside. So, in this brief paragraph, we try, with humble words, to show our appreciation and gratitude to our beloved principal, Mr. Boyd. His never dying patience, his unselfish loyalty, his sportsmanship and high ideals have played a very important part in our successful high school education. ln closing, we again thank Mr. Boyd for his character building and his deep understanding of a high school student's problems.

Faculty A school without a faculty would be very much like an earth without a sun. Such a school could not exist. It is through the faculty's kind instruction that we learn to forsake our childish ways and become men and women. lt is through their patience and understanding that we are able to leave high school better prepared to stand alone, whether we enter a vocation or continue our education in some higher insti- tute of learning. The members of the faculty seldom receive the credit due them. Students often realize when it is too late how much they really owe to the faculty. Washington High has one of the most efficient staffs of teachers on the Pacific coast. Our English department especially rates very high. A teacher's work does not consist merely of sitting behind a desk and making difficult assignments. The correcting of papers alone requires valuable time. Time must be given to students who do not grasp instructions easily. A real teacher's main purpose is to guide us in character building and help to prepare us for the future. Thank you, kind faculty, for your aid in equipping us, the January '37 class, for our journey on the rough sea of life.
