MISS BEACH W . V kit MR. TOLVSTAD Much of the success of the January '45 class is due to the help and guidance of the class advisors. We have been very fortunate in having Miss Beach and Mr. Tolvstad for advisors. Had it not been for their timely advice, many of our senior enterprises would have been failures. Many of us are indebted to them for their per- sonal guidance in trying to form a proper plan for our future. We sincerely hope that we have lived up to the high standard that they have set for us. We, the graduating class of January 1945, wish to thank Miss Beach and Mr. Tolvstad for their friendly and wise guidance and can only hope that future graduating classes will be as fortunate in their choice of advisors. coco trHQ

SENIOR PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION On the evening of January 19, 1945, we members of the senior class will re- ceive our diplomas in the Washington High School auditorium. After four years, very short years to say the least, we will receive what seemed so dis- tant when we were freshmen. But this diploma is not the only thing that we have gained in our short careers at Washington. 'We have gained the happiest four years of our lives. We also have gained the happy and delightful memories of our school life; friends, some of whom will be lifelong; the mental and physical development that have been so well guided by a sympathetic and understanding faculty. During the course of our time in this school, we have had innumerable experiences that will remain with us for a long, long time. Some of these ex- periences have been joyful and humorous ones, and others have been difficult, unhappy ones. Through these experiences, and the way we have handled them, we have acquired a solid background that will undoubtedly help us in later life. In a way, Washington has been, to each one of us, a sort of person- al testing ground on which to try out newly developed and new-found powers. But on the evening of our commencement, we will be standing on the threshold of a new kind of world, a world that is strange and foreign to us; a world that is in the midst of a terrible global war. This new world will be another type of testing ground, only on a more vast scale than were our Washington days. The war challenges us to test our new-found powers and knowledge. In this war, and in the peace that follows, a great responsibility will fall upon the shoulders of the young people of this nation. This responsibility will come in the form of a request; a request that we protect and use sensibly the peace that our nation is so expensively buying with the lives of our young men. I am sure that our class looks forward to its part in this great responsibility with great confidence. To our friends that we will leave behind in Washington, we, the January '45 class, wish the best of luck in carrying on the affairs of the school. Ed Zumwalt
