The Log ofthe good ship-Washington l-ligh School records twenty-two voyages since that time. And most interesting ones they have all been. Each voyage was marked by events of great importance to captain, crew, and passengers. Some days, each year, were bright and calm. A few were rough and stormy. There was a mixture of victories and defeats, of triumphs and disappointments. But always the good days, the successful ventures, prevailed. We left port in September and after bright, crisp fall weather, long, severe winter, and litlul spring, in spite ol fears and misgivings at various points along the route, we always succeeded in arriving at our destination with nearly all sale and sound. My best wishes for many more voyages to be recorded by the Log of Washington High Schooll pdgg 4 l.. B. Clarke, Principal
