In Washington the 167 graduating seniors at Washington High School received 28 scholarships totaling 7075 dollars while many more scholarships come from other sources. A seven member school board includes three women and four men as plans for a new administration building advance. Summer programs like the New Chautauqua and youth arts sessions loom, and the United Presbyterians prepare an organ concert marking a month of dedicatory services. Memorial Day will be observed quietly by local groups amid spring rain boosting crops and lawns as a long holiday weekend approaches.
