'S -4 2» ' X 3 Xj THE PAST four years of our lives have been and undoubtedly will be the happiest four years that we will ever experience. We have found this happiness in the work of the class rooms—building our resources for the problems of tomorrow; in the activities of the school—enlarging and developing our personalities and characters so that they may be used toward the betterment of our community and nation; and in the development of tolerance for the other person's views and thoughts—an at- tribute of which we believe this world can make more use than it has in the past. When we receive our diplomas at our commencement, it will mark the end of our high school days as a class and each of us will take his separate course that will lead him into the future. At present the future that is before us is not the most desirable type, but in it we do see the opportunity to do good. Within our grasp is the power to make a peace that will guarantee the security of future gen- erations. It is also within our power to moke a magnificent failure in our attempt to formulate a peace such as we would want. There will be, needless to say, many great and far-reaching questions that must be answered when this war is finished, and with the help of our Father, may we make and influence the answers and deci- sions in such a manner that this will be the last catastrophe that the people of this earth must endure. Our advisors, Miss Crewdson and Mr. Tolvstad, have been especially considerate and helpful in dealing with our individual problems while we were at Washington. They have also proved themselves invaluable to the class as they guided us through a successful and happy senior year. To them go our deepest thanks and a respect that will be enduring. Mr. Smith has found a place in our hearts by the interest he has always shown in the activities of the class and in the fairness of the decisions he must make. We will always hold him in high esteem for all of the things he has done for us. We offer our sincerest thanks to the faculty for their enduring pa- tience and help in giving us the best education and understanding that is possible to receive in a high school. To those whom we leave behind, we say, Keep up the spirit and traditions of Washington, for whether you realize it or not, this school cannot be excelled. We know that when your turn comes to graduate from Washington High School, you will be just as proud as we are to have had a part in the honors and traditions that only our school has achieved and maintained. 0 N Ken Bratney
