Many Washingtonians agreed that one of the strongest points is the individual attention that students receive from teachers. Students also have the chance to get acquainted with many people and establish lasting friendships. Sophomore Brian Van Horn stated, l like the small enrollment here at Washington because you can get to know everyone better. When Vice Principal Joseph Bowman came to Washington at the end of last year, the school wasn't new to him. For five years before he came, he worked for the personnel ser- vices ofthe Portland Public Schools. Mr. Bowman visited Washington frequently, and knew the administrators well. He saw a difference in Washington's atmosphere and summed up his feelings about our school. The students look at fellow students for their individual worth and not as a group, he stated. The maiority of teachers and students feel the same way, and iunior Linda Kane commented, At Washington you learn to work with different people and respect their ways. Through the years, high schools change and Washington's Curriculum Vice-Principal Nathan Berkham mused, I have seen many changes at Washington and l hope it will con- tinue to evolve and meet the needs of students. Speaking of the teaching styles and Wash- ington's population, it is true that there have been many changes. But while all these changes are taking place, one thing that stays the same is the structure we know as Wa-Hi. Our school is an older structure with high ceilings and wide halls. According to Vice-Principal Mary Withycombe, these things are assets, for they give Washington a friendly, open atmosphere. Senior Linda Maiors agreed. Washington is very unique, she stated. The building is old and roomy, and the people get along really well. llWashington's Principal William Gray shows his support for the school by attending a football game at the stadium. 2l Vice-Principal Joseph Bowman takes a few minutes from his busy schedule to relax in his office. 31 Curriculum Vice-Principal Nathan Berk- ham and communications teacher Joan Brenner check enrollment in Mrs. Brenner's classes on a hectic scheduling day. 41 Principal William Gray and Vice- Principal Mary Withycombe are deep in discussion in the hall outside her office. 12 X ADMINISTRATORS .nl-1....,.
