20-MEMBER STAFF PUTS OUT WESTWARD Where are the photographers? Oh, I’ll never meet the deadline,” cries a frantic member of the annual sfcrff. Led by Fearless Leader,” Roger S. Megerth, the Westward staff stumbles through an obstacle course of the year’s activities and events. To meet dead- lines, pictures must be taken and developed and copy must be written. In the fall of the year, representatives go to Montana State University in Missoula to enter the previous year’s book in statewide competition. The 1963 WESTWARD received a rating of superior.” Extra assignments include watching Mr. Megerth’s former schoolmate, Dr. Kildare, every week. Staff members are also responsible for a door-to-door cam- paign of businesses to sponsor pages in the annual. 1964 WESTWARD Staff Raenelle Maxwell—editor-in-chief Janet Hurly—editor’s assistant Kim Jacobson—sophomore editor Chris Goulding—junior editor Leslie Kohn—senior editor Barbe Brown—organization editor Cheryl Grosshuesch—activities co-editor Blake Johnson—activities co-editor Bill Kenney—sports editor Ross Carlson—assistant sports editor Randy Greer—assistant sports editor Connie Eaton—special features editor Ann Lionberger—special features editor Jan Eickelberg—index editor Sharron Sell—ad manager Connie Krumenacker- des manager John Stewart—art edi: Ken Bennington—he.

SPECIAL FEATURE: THE COURTYARD IN SEASON Neither the changing seasons nor the severity of the weather inhibits the daily concourse of students passing through West High's courtyard. The enclosure was constructed with the con- venience of travel in mind, and few students overlook this op- portunity. The courtyard is surrounded on four sides by the immediate buildings of the school; there are four entries into the yard and four walkways merging at the center court. At the center point, directly beneath the tree, is West High’s bear emblem. Tradi- tionally this site is held in high regard by those in the school, and here an understood no trespassing sign exists in the minds of all loyal West Highers. The courtyard is daily worn by the passage of students from one section of the building to the next; however, this is not its This page sponsored by RIP'S SHOES sole purpose. During the fall students may be seen engaged in comic gym- nastics on the lawns or loitering by the tree planter. As fall drifts into winter, the weather prevents such activities and the courtyard congregations are seen tunneling through growing drifts of snow or occasionally engaged in winter combats. Springtime occasions tete-a-tetes within the confines of the quadrangle and espies gatherings of students enjoying the first warmth of the new season. During all seasons the courtyard, of course, provides, opportune distractions for members of the classrooms en- compassing its grounds. West High’s sanctuary for nature is undeniably a significant architectural triumph.

From covering Student Council elections and speech conventions to predicting the outcome of school games and winter wardrobes, the Kodiak surveys happenings at B.W.H.S. Ever)' member of the Kodiak staff is a reporter. He may cover sports, write features, or take pictures, but whatever his job, he does his part in contributing to the Kodiak. The Kodiak staff hides out sixth period in room 127 which has its own work room and darkroom for developing pictures. Members of the staff, however, can be found around B.W.H.S. halls talking to stu- dents, in the main office gathering data, in the guid- ance and deans’ departments, in the gym, and even in such places as the parking lot surveying parking conditions. It is the job of the Kodiak staff to find out what is happening at B.W.H.S. and to inform the students of these happenings. Their goal is to improve this sendee to the greater satisfaction and pleasure of the student body. Editor Kay Breshears works with Adviser Lew Morris pasting the rough draft of the paper together.
