c 3 f i-H Q ►nQ WD MR. WINDNAGLE A short time ago I heard Dr. Willard Givans, Executive Secretary ol the National Education Associa- tion, relate the following experience. On the train last week I was chatting with a returning service man. 'Believe it or not,' he said to me, 'Nine days ago, I was with my outfit on Leyte without hope of an early return. Tomorrow I will be home.' To what do you attribute the American fighters' superiority?'' I asked him. I can speak for but myself; but so it seems to me, my superiority lies in the fact that in my school in Oregon I was taught to think.' You of the January 1945 class have completed your formal high school education. The greatest accolade that could be bestowed upon your faculty would be, They taught me to think. V I c E P R I N C I P A L MISS OHMERT Our immediate tomorrow holds one supreme purpose—victory in this war. There is a tomorrow beyond that for which we are all preparing—the tomor- row after the war in a peaceful world. It is your good fortune to be among those who will have an active part in that future. The authors of The Prom- ise of Tomorrow state that It is natural that we should be worried, anxious, and confused about the present and uncertain about the future, for we are living in an age of rapid change, such as mankind has sel- dom experienced during the long centuries of human history. May the years you have spent at Wash- ington High School serve as a foun- dation upon which to build for a sane future. Our heartiest wish is that you will carry with you the spirit of Washington High School to meet the challenge which awaits you.
