To many of us graduation will mean college and the training for a profession. To others it will mean jobs of ful- fillment of military obligations. We are very thankful for the fine training we have re- ceived at Washington High School. I am sure that whatever careers we may undertake, we will find that we have acquired a solid foundation on which to build the future. To the remaining student body, we wish the best of success and happiness. We leave knowing that they will uphold the spirit and honorable name of Washington High School. 2 Bruce Benedict Senior Class President 3
