Prexyiv Proclamation Four years have passed-Four short yet exceedingly joyous years that are now just fond memories. From the day that we entered Washington until the present, when as the Class of June, '40, we are graduating, the days of these years have been unforgettable ones. During the course of our time in this school, we have encoun- tered innumerable experiences that will remain with us for a long, long time. Indeed, many of those experiences have become integral parts of our present outlook on life, Here at Washington, we have undergone processes of mental and physical develop- ment guided by an excellent faculty. We have become conscious of our powers and have tried to use them. Our efforts have often been in vain, but nevertheless, we have tried. ln these attempts, glimpses of what lies beyond have been revealed to us and our beings have responded to the lure of the future. We do not exactly know, as yet, the nature and the extent of the harvest of our years at Washington, but we are confident that it is rich. With these thoughts warm within us, we look forward ready to advance. Figur- atively speaking, we are standing at the first crossroads on the Highway to Success, There are several routes that we may take in the pursuit of our goal. Some of us have already chosen routes, some one designated way. Whichever road we may travel, all of us are eagerly anticipating the journey on the Highway to Success. There are regrets and disappointments awaiting us. We face such a situation now, for the time has come when we, as a group, must dissolve and each must go his separate way. There will be hard roads to travel, We know this, but are not afraid. Instead, we glory in the knowledge that we can successfully negotiate them and that, in doing so, we shall reach the Highway again. There is happiness in store for us on the way, happiness that shall give us new strength. There is a Master Mechanic who will help us, when we are in need, just for the asking. ln our eagerness to hurry on, however, there is a danger to be carefully avoided. We must not violate the traffic rules on the Highway to Success, On this road as on any other, the violator of the safety code subjects himself as well as others to danger. Then again, this Highway is peculiar in that those who do deliberately dis- regard the rules in their mad hurry, find upon reaching their goal that it is not Success after all. A vital part of the code of courtesy applied to travelers of this road is the unwritten clause which asks that aid be given to those who are in distress. lt is another peculiar quality about this road, that for them who do give aid, the distance to their destination is shortened, Therefore, we must remember to abide by the rules of safety and give aid where we can, for in doing so, our journey shall be lightened. Now the time has come to prepare ourselves for departure. As president of the class of June, '40, may l say that our days at Washington have been unreplaceable ones? Many of us will never meet again, but, in the future, as we strive for our goal, each one of us, Seniors, will gain some measure of happiness from the recollection of our years together here. XY!e, the Class of June, '40, wish good luck, good health to you who remain. God bless you till we meet again. -HIDE TOMlTA 21

Senior Advisors -f 8 Y S K We 3 et 425 ' ,2 iff Tlx 51555 'sw ,sm ,iafplcfgr-'mi 3 --'54, MRS. FINNEGAN MR. TOLVSTAD Every successful enterprise must have some unsung workers be- hind the scenes. Persons who give ideas and working time and yet receive very little or no credit for the finished product are behind every well organized movement. These are called advisors and our class, like any successful undertaking, was backed by two compe- tent advisors. We are the product which they have turned out. out. Mrs. Finnegan and lvlr. Tolvstad were selected as advisors and they have certainly held up their part of the job, They were as loyal to the class as any class member and they supported all activities. Mr. Tolvstod was never too busy in the lab and Mrs. Finnegan could always put off correcting English papers to come to class meetings. Much of the business direction of the class play was given by Mr. Tolvstad, and Mrs. Finnegan was always ready with suggestions of means by which to better class activities, The sympathetic guidance and sage advice of these two have made our term a cheerful and successful one. We hope that other classes will be as fortunate as we in the choice of advisors. is
