f mxxbihz MMA, va-WW' Q Mr. Ward W. 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.
