SAM .HILL S Time Goes By, we stu- dents of West could ask for no better person to remem- ber than our principal Mr. Hill. He has been at our side for four years, and in that time we have never seen him when he was not the friend and confidant of each and every student. We have felt his guidance through times when we have made mistakes, and we have always felt that what- ever his decisions they would be sin- cere and honestly just. Perhaps we really never appreciate just what a principal does for his students until we have graduated and begin to realize what life is like. During the years Mr. Hill has been at West, he has helped hundreds of students to become oriented to life as they found it after their school days. Once, Mr. Hill you said to us . . . You will find that in West High School a spirit of friendliness, help- fulness, and co-operation prevails to a marked extent. We shall remem- ber that, - As Time Goes By, and we shall know that that spirit could prevail only because of your sincerity, actions, and faith. We shall, As Time Goes By, ap- preciate everything, Mr. Hill, while we acknowledge your kindness and helpfulness, your friendliness and co- operation now, we shall, even more, in the years to come. Again, we thank you, Mr. Hill. PRINCIPAL PAL

WILF ORD H. WOODY Assistant Principal ATE last fall, Mr. Wilford Woody was appointed to succeed Mr. Howard Johnson in the position of Assistant Principal of West High School. Al- though we shall remember Mr. Woody for the excel- lent worlc he is doing, we cannot let the opportunity go by without also thanking Mr. Johnson for the equally superb job that he did in his years in West. Mr. Woody is known for his unlimited energy, and his marvelous trait of always taking on difficult and tiresome jobs which no one else wants. This year, be- sides his regular duties as Assistant Principal he con- tinued as coach of the basketball team, supervised pro- gram changing, radio room control, and entered many other activities that required much of his extra time. We are honored, Mr. Woody, to be the first class of the first year in which you became our Assistant Prin- cipal. And we shall recognize in future years the fact that there is no one more capable than you to help govern West High and its many students. We wish you luck, Mr. Woody, As Time Goes By. 1-HLDEGARD s. SWEET Dean of Girls NE of the most sincere and friendly persons in West is Mrs. Sweet, our Dean of Girls. Most of the boys do not have the opportunity to meet her, but all who know her agree that a more under- standing and sympathetic person could not be found for this position. Mrs. Sweet is delightfully pleasant to everyone, and during the four years that we seniors have been in West, we have never heard her spealc harshly or un- kindly to anyone. Her sincere desire to accomplish, coupled with her genial personality and sweet manner has established a deep respect for her here at West, and it is often said that if ever a person lived up to her name, Mrs. Sweet is that one. When we leave West this June, Mrs. Sweet, we want you to feel that As Time Goes By and we recall those who have made our life pleasant, your name will be among the Hrst in the thoughts of all of us. We lcnow that you will continue in your helpful, inconspicuous way of malcing sad people happy, and mad people glad. 9
