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.

L. 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
