Senior Class fficers Mr. Herbert Conrad Sponsor The dances which the Senior Class sponsor each year, help those who are interested in attending the Prom, raise the money necessary to finance this af- fair. These dances do not just happen. There is a group, known as the Senior Committee who are willing to give of their time and effort to help these dances succeed. Some of the members of this Committee must prepare posters or tape records. Still others decorate the gym, take tickets or check coats. Special credit this year should be given to Martin Carryer and Robert Kepka for taking care of all the electrical work and being most dependable. This Com- mittee can do the special work, but it takes the cooperation of the whole Senior Class in selling tickets to make these activities a success.

E 5 it f NN? wi UNIORS Our Juniors are nearing their next step of educationg this was emphasized by the recent is- suing of graduation rings. For a few this will be the end of their education, with undecided goals ahead. Proudly, we look at the majority who have their sights set on seeking additional knowledge. Many Juniors have expressed an earnest desire for entering a college or technical school. Others, who do not have the proper credits or financial aid, plan to use the different branches of the Armed Forces to put their technical training to practical use. Gone are the days of imma- ture behavior, and as each day ends do they see the additional burden of what the future holds. Our Juniors take this challenge with the relentless determina- tion to make their lives a worthy success. Future senior writers. 'T DEPENDENCE,KQCl LEDGE, KlLLSn Row 1: D. Mueller, C. McMarthy, R.

Be- hind them are two years of study which has polished and refined the thoughts of child- hood and has prepared them for the coming years of learn- mg' Looking forward to the coming years, in which many plans will be made and many goals set, our Sophomores should take the full advantage of their technical training.

To you Freshmen, we pass along the privileges and respon- sibility of becoming a useful member of our school com- munity. This is accomplished through diligent study, partici- pation in school activities, school support and self eleva- tion as we live and work to- gether at Washington. High school is a mixture of fun, satisfaction, hard work and regret. The regret comes all too late for most students. It comes after we graduate and are work- ing at our first job. How much easier our work would be if we had studied hard, learned more and participated in school ac- tivities. 38 F RESHM As a Freshmen there is still time to fill our high school years with meaning and satisfaction by putting forth that extra ef- fort that leads to the fullfill- ment of whatever you do. The knowledge and skills gained in high school will be your pass- word to success tomorrow. A Freshman looks forward to coming things. Q. xi. . or .W ,W . il? w I 'mx as L. to R.: J. Wisniewski, R.

Perhaps the fact that four members of this squad had to be moved up to the Varsity Squad had something to do with the minimum schedule. 2.

Devoted and hard-working best describes our staff and their activities throughout the year. With a nose for news they seemed to be every- where at all times coming up with stories and articles that informed, educated, and praised everyone, both students and faculty. All staff members agree that the year's experience has installed in them a sense of responsibility, satis- faction and cooperation that will stand them in good stead in later life. All associated here' in some way at Washington Vocational certainly can be proud of the dedication shown by these boys. Our school has been a better place to learn and grow because of their efforts. 58 Wayne Skrzydlewski-Editor in Tom Rodgers-Assistant Editor A1 Horn-Business Manager John Maus-Activities Reporter Jesse Wilkes-Sports reporter Tom Weigold-Art Editor Leonard Urban-Art Mike Runco-Publicity Director Ray Korey-Reporter Robert Dubee-Reporter William Laughlin+Reporter Joe Shultz-Reporter Al Buzzelli-Reporter Mr. Markovich-Advisor Chiei !aH.,YL'Y X-xfxa .

STUDE T COUNCIL JOHN KONRAD PRESIDENT OF STUDENT COUNCIL 60 Student Council officers, Anthony Kress, John Konrad and Steve Delach discuss upcoming school events. The liaison groups of any organization has to consist of unselfish, energetic, reliable members if they are to function properly. Wash- ington's administration, teachers, and students are proud of the tire- less Work being done this year by Student Council. They are busy revising and adding new by-laws to improve and broaden the edu- cational system of our school. To do this, one of the first changes was to increase membership, by including homeroom presidents and the presidents of various activities as members. At present there are 32 active members in the organization. The spark that was necessary to make this organization function so ably, was ignited by the capable leadership of the following offi- cers: President, J. Konrad, Vice President, A. Kress, Treasurer, S. Delach, and Secretary, L. Eichler. Left to Right: T. Szwalek, T. Troy, R. Rebholz, R. Kosuda, J. Chelbowskl Mr. Chomko, W. Skrz dl k' . M y ews 1, J aus, J. Mattarochia, L.

The leadership of this group was entrusted into the capable hands of Capt. J. Garasich and he was ably assisted by Lt. J. Konrad and Lt. J. Chelbowski. The duties of the patrol consisted of the following assignments: gov- ern student conduct before school opens, between all classes, and at dismissal, assist at assembly programs as ushers and conduct opening exercises at all these functionsg serve as guides or messengers in a myriad of situations. To become a member of the patrol you have to maintain above aver- age grades, be highly recommended by all teachers, must show an excel- lent record of attendance and finally be highly regarded by your fellow students. This year's patrol will be highly remembered for they have displayed outstanding leadership, willingness and thoughtfulness in fulfilling their assignments. L. to R.

Swain Principal More than any other, we would use the word urgency in ex- plaining our senior's attitude toward school and learning during this past year. More of them have shown a greater interest in furthering their education in a technical institute, junior college or college, many have enforced their academic skills by taking extra credits at evening or summer standard high school. A dedicated faculty has increased our students' interests and an eagerness to participate in such activities and projects as the science fair, geography and his- tory models in room 406, in a technical writing project in English classes, and in a programmed learning program called Temac . Ap- proaching 50 students have participated in work experience pro- gram. We are pleased to watch all of these, and other school activi- ties which show an urgency to learn. Mr. Ereole Liberator With the advent during the past decade of the present technological revolution with its trend toward automation, the demand for skilled and technical workers has skyrocketed to a position of prominence. These jobs demand a much broader range of ability, education, training, and experience than ever before. During this period of phenomenal growth, we here at Washington have not been asleep at the wheel. Already our classrooms and our pipe- lines to industry, the armed forces, and to technical schools and centers are bulging with youths who have the ability, training, and desire to take their dynamic places in the fabulous future. Ercole A. Liberator Counselor Since this book has gone into print Mr. Liberator has become corrdinator of Manpower Develpment Training and Mr. Francis Flaherty is now the Guidance Counselor at Washington Vocational Technical High School. W Coordinator of Work Experience MR. CRIST M. KING Cooperative apprentice training has been popular at Washington Vocational High School throughout the years. Boys who do well in shop work and who also rate high in their academic studies are allowed, preferably in their senior year to work in industry. Shop teachers recommend boys for these jobs and they must also be in good standing with their academic teachers. The principal gives final approval after their attendance and conduct have been found to be satisfactory. The majority of the Co-op boys are employed full time by their companies, after graduating from high school. Home and School Visitor MR. HYMEN MILCH The Home and School Visitor belongs to a group of special services which is provided by the Board of Education, to help the teacher with some of the problems in the school. He serves students whose problems interfere with their ability to learn. Some of these problems are illness, achievement below ability level, problems of attendance or frequent tardiness, aggressive or hostile be- havior, difficulty with other students, or evidence of parent neglect. The more difficult problems are referred to community social agencies that are equipped to help this student or his family. The aim of The Home and School Visitor is to help young people make adjustments so that they may ultimately become responsible adults.
