MISS SYKES MISS DOWD The office staff of any business firm or organization must be prepared to satisfy all kinds of people and attend to all office duties. This also holds true of the office staff of Washington. The efficiency with which our daily clerical work is done is due to the capability of our two secretaries, Miss Sykes and Miss Dowd, who check attendance, answer the telephones, write office letters, balance books, and attend to many other office duties. Marguerite and Dorothy, no matter how busy they are, are always willing to lend a helping hand to our many problems and to aid us in every way possible. These two devoted Washingtonians show their loyalty to Washing- ton by attending most of the games, dances and plays. Whenever anything new is started, you can always be sure that if it has possibilities for improving Washington, Marguerite and Dorothy will be with the students from the start. We, the Iune, '41 Class, dedicate this page to you, Marguerite and Dorothy, for your sincerity and loyalty to the thousands of students who come and go through the years, and we wish you the continued joy and happiness that you rightfully deserve.

To be qualified for graduation, each student must have one year of science to his credit. Biology, the study of plants and animals, chemistry, the study of the reaction of atoms, and physics, the study of molecules, are offered to the students. Each course is intensely interesting and informative and is kept abreast of the newest scientific developments. All in all, We admire our faculty very much, and we earnestly hope that they will forgive our petty prejudices and remember us in years to come.

Member Below Third Term PROPPE Under the capable leadership of this term's Student Body president, Bill Proppe, and the diligent work of the Student Body officers, the Executive Committee can consider itself successful. Several good dances were held this term, the first being the annual Stu- dent Body dance, free to Student Body members. The P.-T.A. sponsored a dance for the school, with Wes Lang's orchestra, which attracted many. For this, the members of the Executive Committee, on behalf of the Student Body, wish to thank the P.-T.A. A Student Body assembly was held on May l, to pass several amendments to the School Constitution. Afterward, the business was turned over to the students for an open discussion of ways to improve the school. The most looked-forward-to day of the term was the annual Student Day, held on May 9, with the Carnival taking place that night. The Student Body officers acted in the following capacities: Principal, Bill Proppe, Vice-Principal, Dean Young, Secretaries, Ieanne Polivka and Dolores I-lewitt, Truant offiers, Vic Atiyeh, Ed Eterno, Bob Bell, Dick Taylor, Dick Kappersg Office boys, Evan Sax and Donnie Edwardsg nurse, Mary Teurman. Washhington was the first school to have a Student Day and we are all proud. This opportunity could be possible only if the students cooperated. Those who didn't were appre- hended and punished for their crimes. To finish a very much enjoyed Student Day, the carnival was held in the Hawthorne Basement with two dance ses- sions in the Gym.
