'x, Morris Davis Chairman of Senate School Cfficers Linda Freedman C.A. President Fellow Classmates, When We look back on the three years that we have spent at West Philadelphia High School, we find that we have many happy experiences to remember. Not only have we received knowl- edge together but molded friendships which will never be forgotten. Time has passed quickly and the strains of Pomp and Circumstancen can be heard symbol- izing the memorable evening of graduation. When we leave West Philly and go separate ways to fulfill our goals in life, we shall always have one thing in common: we are the members of the great class of June 1956. As a member of the class, and one who has so much enjoyed working with you, I wish you Judith Starr G.A.A. President success, happiness, and good luck! Linda. Cl Barbara Felkoff Robert Steiner Editor-in-chief of the Chairman of Tribunal Western N eWs

Pecos Bill had a thrilling and successful career in Texas because he did all things precisely. Consequently, we have a Senate, sponsored by Dr. Mabel Haller, which regulates stu- dent activities and enforces regulations about the school just as perfectly. It is the legislative body and is comprised of a senator from each homeroom. It functions through eight committees work- ing for the improvement of the school. These committees are: Publicity, Club Charter, Usher, P.T.C., Budget, Social Service, Safety, and Entertainment. Senate meetings are presided over by the chairman, Morris Davis. In his absence William McDaniel, the vice-chairman, presides. We also give credit to Rosalee Washington, secre- tary of the Senate, for an outstanding job. The Senate Miss McGlathery- Treasurer of C.A. 12B SENATORS First Row: Bivins, Washington, McGuire, Hyden. Second Row: Goldstein, Parris, Sneidman.
