ADMINI T RATOR our 1fLnc!er:51fa1fLc61fLg oz uidem . . TO THE CLASS OF 1950 - It is always with a feeling of uncertainty that we say goodby to each graduating class. We wonder as we see our job as teachers about to be completed, whether or not we have done that job successfully. We never get the full answer to that question, until many years later. If you are successful in taking your place as a happy conscientious, diligent Ameri- can citizen, then we know that West View High School could have had some part in that success. As you leave this high school, and leave the unit known as the Class of 1950, you will be seeking new interests, making new friends and striving for new and greater goals. We have tried to provide oppor- tunities through your participation in the school program which will enable you to take your place in the American way of life. We hope that you will be able to stand on your own feet and progress satisfactorily. The ceremony that you will go through in order to graduate is called Commencement, It is well named. It is the beginning of the adult phase of your life. As you face it you know that you have rny Wish and the wishes of the entire faculty for your success and happiness. May you as a member of this West View High School Class of 1950, bring greater acknowledgment to your class by the good deeds you do after Commencement. Robert F.

Ass't. Supervising: Principal Assoc. Supervising Principal 5.3 r Edith A. Waddell Dr. R. S. Rive Supervising Principal W. Robert Payizfer . . an Aga Zcielccfd . . To the Class of 1950 - During the past twelve years small groups of boys and girls have traveled converging school paths. During the past few years, these paths have met and have been combined into the High School. There are young men and wo- men who now are being graduated and who look strikingly like those small boys and girls of yesteryear. We, as administrators, as well as you who are being graduated, must look Janus-like into both the past and the future. It is common to all of us, that the friendships formed during our as- sociations in school are among our brightest jewels of life. You who are leaving look for- ward to new friends in the future, we who re- main look to the new and younger boys and girls to take your honored places. What have the schools tried to give you? It has been our desire to equip each of you with the tools of learning, the beginning of life ex- periences, activities in general which will en- able you to take your places in life. As steel is refined, molded, shaped and then allowed to age before being put to use, so must young men and women mature in both thought and in skill and practice in using these fundamentals and ideas. In a few short years you will occupy the places which your parents and teachers now hold. We hope that you may be prepared to meet world problems in a far more peaceful and practical manner than have we who have gone before you. We envy you your opportunities and the chance to profit from our mistakes. As you leave these halls, take with you our best wishes, our continued interest in you, our friendship and the many pleasant recollections of our associations with you. Come back to re- new your past association with us. You are always welcome-and as we bid you a reluc- tant farewell, we wish you Godspeed. Edith A. Waddell R. S. Rice W. Robert Paynter
