zqnmaevmnfuf QGGXL 7941 7 Very soon, however, most necessities were provided, and then began the careful, systematic, continuous program of equipping the school with modern facilities which have become the pride of our community and the envy of others. Our curricular and co-curricular offeringsfthe whole edu- cational program-q kept pace from year to year with material progress in such a way as to win the highest praise of the state department of public instruction. How fortunate we are now to be able to work in a building so well furnished and so well main- tained! Witness our foods laboratory with its unit kitchens and its wealth of color, the science rooms with their cabinets for the display of interesting materials, the enlarged library well stocked with books and magazines, the Neshotah News Staff room, the new high school office, the geography room unique among the schools of the state, the beautifully decorated auditorium, the ceilings overlaid with acoustone, the l. E. Hamilton Pool, where thousands of boys and girls have learned to swim, the athletic bowl lying against a background of river and woodland, in a setting of scenic beauty. To former Superintendent F. G. Bishop, under whose able leadership our school was built and equipped, we are greatly indebted. Superintendent George M. O'Brien, in a brief time, has made valuable additions. Note our new bleachers in the gymnasium, our modern speaker system, our new playgrounds bordering the river, not to mention the plans already underway for equipping the Bowl with bleachers and flood lights for night football. But the school building, important as it is, is not the school. Washington High School is rather that intangible, imponderable spirit that thrives day by day and year by year in terms of personality and character and ideals. What a challenge to us to use our material advantages to the utmost! So ends the first quarter century with a record of effort and achievement, of hope and promise for the future. L. B.
