 DecUcatio t We would like to dedicate the Cadet to our Mothers and fathers in deep appreciation for helping our four most important years. If it weren’t for you behind us, giving us a helping hand here and discipline there, we would not be the people we are today. Your guidance has helped in the formation of memories which happily end our high school career and make us ready to take that important step forward into the world of tomorrow. Class of '61

Sometimes we wondered if we would make the deadline and be able to distribute the WEST POINTER. But amidst all our trouble, we were able to send out the paper every other week as planned. At the left is the terminal chemistry class which consists of many of our seniors. Some of the wierd concoctions we stirred up really caused a lot of disturbance.
