Principal Robert E. Sonnemarlv 1 ' ,- , LA. w a, M , 4, .1 -4' t 77 fe. f mNcirAL's Messina: To the Class of l9S0: You are the Class of l950. Four years ago one hundred and forty of you entered Washington Union High School as freshmen. Some of your class have transferred to other schools, others have discontinued school before graduation. Now ninety-eight of you are leaving as the Class of l95O. Nineteen hundred and fifty is a crucial year in our history. In the year of l95O, Cali- fornia is celebrating one hundred years of Statehood, America enters the second half of the twentieth century. The mid-century finds our nation at peace, and experiencing a new peak of pros- perity, but full employment, such as we have been accustomed to in the years immedi- ately preceding l950, no longer exists. There are over four million people unemployed in America today, Two million high school graduates and four hundred thousand college graduates will be in the employment market this month looking for work, Jobs will not be so easy to get as they were during the prosperous war and postwar years. You will have to compete with your fellows to get a job. If and when you are employed, you will have to deliver the goods to keep your job. If you don't, your employer can hire someone else who will. Likewise those who are going on to college or university will also have to achieve to remain in school. Remember what we have said about grades and grade points! Washington Union High School has graduated over twenty-five hundred Seniors since the first class was graduated in l896, over a half century ago, The great majority of these have proved to be excellent citizens, and some of them have been outstandingly successful in life. l trust that each of you graduates of the Class of l950 will add your contribution so that the fine reputation of Washington Union High School, made by its alumni in the years past, will continue in the years that lie ahead. ROBERT E, SONNEMAN, Principal
