% Donna Maxwell, Editor CHIPMUNK WESTWOOD HIGH SCHOOL WESTWOOD, CALIFORNIA TOWARD NEW HORIZONS It has been said that one opens a good book with anticipation and closes it with profit. If a student, reading his yearbook, can place himself in a scene orcanenjoyan accomplishment, the yearbook has succeeded. Memories, .the hard contact of football players ... the final buzzer of a basketball game. . . dances. . .peprallies . . .sports- nights . . .study, study . . .snow . . .Paul Bunyan'sDay . . .graduation . . .sometimes happy, sometimes sad, but always treasured. Restless and searching, today's teenager is represented by the free, uncontained qual- ity of nature. New thoughts and emotions are forming, as is a reaching out to new, unexplored areas in life. We will wistfully turn our backs on today and set ouronbetter and brighter paths of tomorrow. We will run faster, try harder, and stretch out our arms toward new horizons! 2 ADMINISTRATION Gerald E.

Coach Dana was chosen Coach of the Year in the Feather River League. Their great job had a lot to do with the new era of football in Westwood. A new system of selecting team captains was instigated by Coach Dana this year. After each consecutive game, he chose a team captain for the coming week; and at the end of the season the whole team selected a back captain. Sterling McBride, and a line captain, Steve Casillas. Our Defensive Line stopped tough offensives and saved the day many times.

The Team had die honor of having one of its members, Brian Heard, named to the All-Tournament Team in Greenville.

As the year began, it was obvious that our success has not come from individual athletes, but from a strong team effort. All our teams were characterized by high morale and a keen spirit of competition. The community was rewarded for their support through the win- less years by games and matches that were on the winning side as well as exciting. Westwood, the smallest school in the league, ran second to Quincy, the largest school, in football, wrestling, and basketball. Together the two schools completely dominated league sports. It is to be expected that the largest school will always play the dominant role; however, any time that the league's smallest school can do better than winning as many as it loses it demonstrates terrific drive and spirit. Happiness is a roomful of Seniors + $% • No matter what shape your stomach's in. . . . What else did you learn in dance class? Get that Ref!!!
