School Reputation, Credit To Principals Westwood has gained the reputation of being aca- demically and athletically one of the outstanding high schools in the state, and no people deserve more cred- it for this reputation than the school's dedicated prin- cipals, Mr. Elias Brimhall, Mr. Pat Pomeroy and Mr. Melvin Sizemore. During the six years of Westwood's history, our principals have supported every school function from game dances to concerts with genuine interest and enthusiasm, setting a worthy example for all Warriors. Always good-natured, helpful and fair, they were understanding friends with a sincere feeling for peo- ple, taking pride in every accomplishment in any way connected with Westwood. Their faith in young people gave students the courage to have faith in themselves. We are truly fortunate to have three outstanding men for our principals. Elias R.
