M Washington High School WHS If The Center 0 Communiq 4 i The dedication ceremony is attended by many interested citizens. Actiafit The school is an essential part of the community of Wfashington. The facilities of the building are used frequently by local organizations. Basketball, one of the most popular sports in our town, has a great following of both students and other citizens in this locality. The school and community combine their efforts to make the Homecoming parade a success by decorating attractive floats. XVHS is truly the center of community activity. Two of the most attractively decorated floats in the Homecoming parade are the prize-winning A junior float and the Beta Club float. 5 WHS . . . ferwke T 0 The junior Red Cross members are busily at work making favors for these who are confined by illness. ... ,, The Melody Lads, Jerry Barton George Carnes, Bud Garland and john Johnson, are in cle- mand by groups desiring musical entertainment. 6 a Communigl The students of WHS participate in programs helping to serve the community in many ways. A few of these services are collections for polio, tuberculosis, and heart disease, and such varying activities as the provision of entertainment by the Music Department and the assistance of the farmer by the Agriculture Department. The students con- tribute much of their time and effort to make XWHS of service to the community. V 2 fl In 1949, the High School Varieties program was started at Station WFML. Here the defending Sophomore team in Current Events, Richard Cline, Harry Ross, and Charles Rose, meets the chal- lenging juniors, jerry Barton, Max Summers, and Mary Glezen. The Girls Ensemble provides entertainment for the dedication ceremonies of the North Side School. Those participating are Mrs. Alvin Seal, Connie Weddle, Velma Chestnut, Marilyn Shafer, Judy Thompson, Marilyn Seal, Linda Wfedeking, Jo Davis, Gretchen Chickedantz, and Deanna Dye. , J.: MX.

Miss Spitz was one of our teachers most interested in student affairs. As the chairman of the sponsors of the class of 1956, she was the person with guiding hands who did so much for our benefit. As a teacher, she was liked and respected by the entire student body for her friendly, courteous manner in conducting classes or in any project she undertook. She also had the admiration of her fellow teachers be- cause of her unfailing cheerfulness in her work at school. Miss Spitz has left a permanent mark, not only upon this school, but also upon the memories of her in- numerable friends. That mark is one that only a Wonderful, kind person could make-one of high esteem and friendship. She never forgot any of her students during her many years as a teacher, and we shall never forget her.

The acquisi- tion of a press roorn this year has enabled the staff members to maintain a planning, writing, and production cycle with a minimum of wasted effort. Ernie Culbertson, photographer, and Lester Gilmore, sports, prepare negatives of pages from which metal plates will be made in preparation for printing on the multilith machine. The offset process has enabled Ink-Ovation to publish a semi- monthly school paper with pictures and line drawings at little cost. Writing and rewriting are only the pre- liminary operations required to publish a school newspaper. Terry Overholser, sports, Orlan Eck, page editor, Reba Cannon, exchange, and Sue Stephenson, assistant editor are typing copy, doing page make-up, and making headlines. Other steps handled in each issue process are covering beats, selling and composing ads, opaquing negatives, and taking care of exchange with other schools. Each staff member serves as a page editor one semester or more.
