History of the Washington Township High School He who lives only in the present viewing men and l W events as he finds them, without thought as to how and by what slow degrees the human race attained its present state. though he may be a very sagacious man, shrewd in business, counting his wealth like a Shylock, must of necessity be a very narrow minded if not a sordid and selfish man. On the other hand he who lives only in the past. delving among the ruins of ancient empires, or deciphering the faded inscriptions from crumbling walls and oblelisks, though he may become a very learned man, will grow antiquated and wholly unfit to keep pace with the progress of the times. If we are to know our probable destiny as a people or nation we must, as it were, stand upon the mountain-top, peer into the dismal dark- ness of the past, then turn with prophetic gaze toward the future. ' ROUZERVILLE The above quotation was taken from a paper published by the Kittochtinny Historical Society. volume X, page 335. March l, 1929. As one ponders over the philosophical con- tent embodied therein, it seems a fitting thought to introduce the history which follows. In as much as a history of the XVashington Township High School has never appeared in any previous edition of the XVahtonian, it was the wish of the staff to include it this year. Our purpose is not to go into minute detail but to assemble what information was readily available and that our limited space would permit us to use. The history of the schools of VVashingtou Township in itself is very interesting and would make a worthwhile study. There is available in- formation which dates from 1799, the year XVashington Town- ship was organized. However. we will limit ourselves to information concerning the high school. ,px A WAYNE HEIGHTS WASHINGTON TOVVNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Page Eight
