Sfaces af the Wes! Out of the hearts of the West come the countenances of its people. The soft sweet lines of the very young and the very old, the rugged lines found on the face of the cowboy who looks out on the great distances of the prairiesg the weathered face of the rancher and farmer, victims of quick changes in the wea- therg the concerned look of the serious-mindedg and the understanding of those who read and study to fathom their world. Faces, faces, faces! What meaning for the Texico School? The meaning lies in the trust of the young for his teacher, the eagerness with which the Fourth grader meets each new day, the birth of a new idea in the Seventh grader, the confi- dence of the freshman, and the hopes of the senior, already aware that life for him will soon have a new beginning. These are not new faces of the West. They were found here in the early settlers. They will be found here with the passing of each day, month, and year. They are the inheritance of the present and the remembrance of the past. They are yours to enjoy today and forever. Study them, understand them, and love them as they are recorded here in the 1965 Wolverine, A PM ? R fix

Mr. Pierce has served in the capacity of high school principal for two years. Previously he had taught four and one-half years as agri- culture teacher in the school. A Poem by an unknown author might well be the pattern of life for these two people.
