Counsel from a source which is experienced, Wise and unbending in integrity is a prerequisite to the success of any organization of the type of Washington High School. Mr. Windnagle is one unflagging and ever- Willing source of firm and sound counsel and advice. A former student leader and athlete, Whose records in track still appear in the record books, Mr. Wind- nagle performs the many disciplinarian actions which are unpleasant but necessary to a school of Vfashingtons size and type. Commendation of the entire student body is extended to Mr. Windnagle for his untiring effort in behalf of Washington High School.
