Pollock President of the Alumni Association Mere words are never an adequate tribute to a man and his accomplishments. The only signihcant and lasting trophy of what he has done is the success which he has attained. The high school is a long-established institution of learning. However, it should be more than just an educational institution. It should be a crossroad in the lives of its students and teachers, an important step in cultural development, and a memory worth retaining. The success or failure of the high school in being above and beyond just an educational institution lies in great measure in the hands of the Alumni Association, for that is the organization which knits together the loose ends of high school life and keeps the school fresh in the minds of its graduates. West Philadelphia High is proud of its line Alumni Association and the way in which it endears the school to the hearts of its graduates. Moreover, it is proud of a favorite son. Some years ago, a high school student reached the presidency of his schoolis Citizens' Association., Upon graduation he became a member of the Alumni Association of that school. Quickly he rose to the presidency of the organization. Re-election followed re-election, and improvement followed improvement. Eventually came the incorporation of the Association, making it a firmly established, smoothly running body. Recently he was a key figure in the obtaining of a ine athletic field for the school. Today the Alumni Association is a strong, highly regarded branch of the institution. Next fall, when Joseph L. Pollock resigns after ten successful years of service, he will need no more tribute than his achievements with the Alumni Association of the West Philadelphia High School. It is an honor for us, the graduating class of june 1956, to dedicate our yearbook to him.
