Leila Wassom, Miss Genevieve Wise Typing by classes of Miss Bessie Young Back Once Again After the silence of several months the Spectator comes to you on this last day that the class of 1932 is with us. This publication is not a year book and makes no attempt at being any kind of an- nual, it is only a special edition of the Spectator, and published by the Spectator staff. We plan that the high school paper will make it regularly bi-weekly visits Friday af- ternoon next year, as it has done in the past, and that finances will be in such a condition that the issues may come continuously. To Students Next week will mark the close of another most successful year for West High school. New laurels have been added by our pupils to the already long list of outstanding achieve- ments of our school. An enviable record has been made in both the scholastic and ex- tra-curricular fields, nothwithstanding cer- tain handicaps imposed by the economic con- ditions. A rigid retrenchment of expendi- tures has been practiced resulting in curtail- ment of advantages usually enjoyed by pupils- 'In this connection the splendid spirit of sportsmanship characteristic of West High school student found fine expression. At this time we want to express our sin- cere appreciation to both pupils and teachers for the splendid spirit of co-operation evinced at all times. To our seniors we express all good wishes and the hope that success may be yours in large measure. To all we wish a happy va- cation. CHAS. A. KITTRELL. To the Seniors Today is the last day that about one hun- dred fifty pupils will spend in the regular schedule of duties at West High. We wish to congratulate you, seniors, upon your graduationg yet it is with a bit of sadness that we contemplate your absence from our halls next year. No doubt, in finishing our good school and with your much-coveted diploma, you feel that your hardest work is done. As the word commencement signifies, you are be- ginning not finishingg you are commencing not completing the greater school life. In this life of the great future that is be- fore you, may you always remember the ideals set before you at West High, may you always see before you the motto silently, yet daily taught in every classroom during your high school career-DUTY, HONOR, SERVICE. Executives Executives fill important positions in one and every lineg therefore, executives are im- perative in a smooth working organization such as our school system is at the present time. During the Kittrell-Gibson regime, grad- ually but forcefully, West High has stepped into her own. It was under fine management that we were successful in gaining extremely high honors, the highest to be had, in the State Academic Contest. In various lines, West High worked itself to the top. Music, athletics, individual honors in scholarship make up a small part of its accomplishments. 'Would these be possible under a loosely constructed executive head? Emphatically no! Extensive co-operation of student and faculty has developed-our West High.
