SIMONS Principal 8 1 NTIME77 Time has a way of dragging with young people to the extent that, a day seems like an eternity. Your four years in high school probably has seemed interminable to some of you. Later in life, when an hour appears to be only a few minutes long, you will look back upon your high school days and think of those four years as the best four years of your life. We have tried to make those years profita- ble ones for you, and at the same time happy ones. Only time will tell whether we have been successful, and only you can be the judge of that success. hfi Mf 'it SEATED, Newton W. Simons, STANDING, Crist M. King, Coordinator, Hymen Milch, Home and school visitor, Francis W. Flaherty, Counselor. . uf . A C ,iffiis mfi ' 'Qtr 9 Francis W. Flaherty Counselor With the advent during the past decade of the present technolog- ical 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 pipelines 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. Coordinator of Work Experience Mr. Crist M. King Cooperative apprentice training has been popular at Wasliirigtori Vocational Technical High School throughout the years. Boys who do Well in shop Work and who also rate high in their academic stud- ies 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 em- ployed full time by their companies after graduating from high school. Home and School Visitor lVlr. Hymen lVlilch 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 prob- lems are illness, achievement below ability level, problems of attend- ance or frequent tardiness, aggressive or hostile behavior, 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. Office Secretary Katherine E. Mitchell Custodian Joseph B.

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 suc- ceed. Some of the members of this Committee must pre- pare posters, or tape records. Still others decorated the gym, take tickets, or check coats. This Committee can do the special work, but it takes the cooperation of the whole Senior Class in selling tickets to make these activities a success. MR. HERBERT CONRAD Sponsor L. to r.

The emotional play was controlled and very melodramatic. The touches of humor in the characterizations enhanced the sense of danger. There was sustained tension, vivid excitement, and suspense.

Projection and Stage Crew At Washington Vocational Technical High School our projection crew doubles as our stage crew in all auditorium productions. The Washin ton Glee Club At Washington each year we have a Choral Group made up of boys who simply enjoy singing. Some have had previous ex- perience as choir boys. A few have had a little training in music. They all like to sing. This year our Chorus, along with a group of girls from Arsenal Vocational High School provided a very interesting Christ- mas Program for both schools and by the time we receive our yearbooks they should have perfected a number or two to sing at our Commencement Exercises.

To R. Teacher sponsor of the Highlights, Mr. Charles Markovich, talks with editor, Tom Rodgers Washington Highlights In talking about a school newspaper this question is often asked, g'Why have a paperfw We of the staff feel the school paper serves a dual purpose-to be of benefit to the staff and to be of benefit to the school. The staff members, perhaps, get more from the activity than the rest of the school. What can equal the pride, satisfaction, and acclaim of others from a job well done? Reading and writing skills are constantly improved. Reason and logic are developed. A sense of cooperation, fairness, and the ability to get along with people are built up through the ability of working with and for others. Finally, a sense of belonging and being part of the school will become memories the staff will treasure in the years to come. Yes, the sometimes tiring and difficult work soon becomes insignificant under the weight of all these advantages. The entire school is a better place to be because of the paper. Strang- ers become familiar names on the pages of the Washington Highlights as students and faculty grow closer together. Entertainment is to be found through the creative efforts of our writers and contests. Infor- mative articles educate us both academically and in world wisdom. Through its pages we learn what has happened, what is happening, and what is going to happen. The question, then, should not be L'Why have a paperf, but, Why doesnft every school have a newspaper? fx 2X .X Q X 5 2 W4 Q SITTING L. to R.
