Shawnee Mission West High School - Saga Yearbook (Shawnee Mission, KS)

Shawnee Mission West is more than a building. It is you, the students. You are West. These words echoed throughout a hushed gymnasium at our first pep assembly nine months ago. Without us students, West is indeed nothing, a mere skeleton without a personality. We have given it personality. We have given life, vitality, and spirit in everything we have done. While shouting during a close basketball game, we felt it. While crowding into an already packed gym for an assembly, we sensed it. Even while hurrying through a crowded stairwell or scrambling through the a la carte lunch line, we experienced the personality that envelops West, a personality unique to our school. At any other high school, a different mood prevailed: the feeling was not the same. West's personality was based on people. Although each one of us is a separate individual, we all contributed. No two people here were the same. Each person had different motivations, attitudes, and goals. Some may have had similar interests, but beyond tlzose similarities, everyone was unique. Everyone had their own direction that their life was taking, a course on which they were moving. Each one of our lives had a course that we chose. No matter this course, no matter our direction, we were all an essential part of West. We students, with all of our varied directions, made West unique. in QR 'iw i A F 1 i I I
