these courses from highly trained teachers while still in high school. Not only this but a very extensive course in bookkeeping is taught, for the benefit of future business men and women. Many boys are inter- ested in the Manual Training which is offered in well equipped work- rooms at Washington, and others appreciate the popular course in Mechanical Drawing. Special courses, aside from acad- emic study, are indispensable in giv- ing the student a well rounded edu- cation. Included in these are the music courses, sewing, cooking, art classes, library and athletics. We thank our faculty for all that they have done for us in the past four years and we hope that we can do justice to them by following the high ideals they have set up for us and by becoming good citizens.

BILL SILLS Christiansen The Executive Committee presided with considerable interference this term, but we of the committee were surprised ourselves by accomplishing all and more than we thought possible. Our meetings were of necessity held before school where our somewhat less amount of business was attended to. The Executive Committee presented several dances to the Student Body, which were all successes. Also, needless to say, Mr. Smith's cooperation and assistance in all our activities were invaluable and we wish to express our sincere gratitude to him for all he did. In our contest with Franklin to sell the most Student Body cards by a cer- tain date, Franklin reached the 100 per cent mark first, but with our Wash- ington spirit, we came in immediately after with 100 per cent also, the first time that we have ever reached that record. Our contest with Lincoln to sell the most tickets at the Inter-School Dance came out without a doubt victori- ous for us, and would have been victorious with anyone, since we had more couples there than any other school represented. Our bond drive is coming along very well at the last report and We will undoubtedly pass the S50.000 mark by June. Because of the lack of opportunities to show the students how the Student Body government was conducted, many people were unaware of many of the activities of the Executive Committee, much less who the members were. However, we feel that we did all in our power to make the past term a suc- cessful one.
