DEDICATION Each man is pre-ordained to leave his mark on mankind. Some, during the course of a lifetime, make a slight impression, others leave an indelible mark on the mind, soul, and spirit that defies the ravages of Time. During forty-two Years of dedicated service to his profession, Mr. Carl A. Engh has left such a mark on the minds, souls, and spirits of literally thousands of students. The only remaining member of the original high school staff, Mr. Engh has punctuated his career with many notable firsts. As The Father of Westy's Athletics, he was responsible for the first basketball, football, and track teams. However, it is in his capacity as a teacher that he will be best remembered. His brisk, energetic manner was as effective in the classroom as on the athletic field, and his psychology was based on the premise that a sincere smile, a humorous remark, or a tactful prod is sometimes needed to reinforce learning. Coach Engh's influence will not end with his retirement this year. His basic philosophy will be perpetuated by the many students who have been exposed to his guidance. ln tribute to a fine gentleman, this edition of the Phoenician is dedicated to Mr. Carl A. Engh.

Omar Khayyam Time wrote a conclusion to one career and the in- troduction to several others at Westmont Hilltop Senior High School this year. While 1959 terminated a long and dedicated career in education for Mr. Carl A. Engh, it also marked the beginning of professional careers for eleven student teachers from Indiana State Teachers College and Pennsylvania State University. During their internship the student teachers applied the educational theories learned in college to practical classroom situations. This acid test enabled them to evaluate their effectiveness in using various instructional techniques, their command of subiect matter, their class- room administrative ability, and their ability not only to recognize individual differences among students but also to provide an effective program to meet those individual needs. These interns and thousands like them are the life- blood of the educational profession. Without them, the profession could not long surviveg for each year these individuals fill the gaps created by departing colleagues.
