WE DEDICATE THIS ANNUAL TO Joe Almos, the friend, the well-wisher, and the efficient helper to everyone, whether teacher or pupil. YVe couldn't get along without Joe. XVe tried it once while he was in tl1e army, but it just didn't work. XVhen he returned, everybody rejoiced and the organization returned to nor- malcy. I dunno, we'll ask Joef' has been a familiar phrase, heard all through the years. Teachers, students, fellow-workers in all departments turn to Joe for assistance and suggestions. He holds the key to the situation in so many instances. Sober of countenance, apparently unyielding, his grufl' No more often means Yes, especially where it is at all possible for him to grant your request, and if you waitiyou will see l1in1 smilevsidewisewand then chuckle-at the temporary consternation he has caused you. Then with a heart of gold he swings into action and before you know it your wish is granted. He is one of us in another respect. He is a graduate of our high school tclass 19075. As a high school student he represented the school in baseball. Immediately after graduation he became assistant to the building custodian and later succeeded him in that position. He has assisted in the manual training instruction, always to the delight and confidence of the boys and girls in those classes. In the dramatic work he has had and still has charge of the building and operation of scenery and stage settings. ln our operettas .loe's contribution has always been in evid.ence. YVhol1y dependable, wholly honest, and abundantly competent, he has given thirty- three years of service to VVashington High School, and we are happy to honor him, as a partial reward, by dedicating our 19-10 annual to him.
