Superintendent ,lack M. Logan To the Class of '45: I have watched with interest and pleasure your ac- complishments during your three years at West High. These have been years of stress and turmoil for all the world. You have responded generously to every call your couutry's need has placed upon you, and yet you have maintained the normal activities of high school life. Our memory of these years will be a happier one because of the way our high school pupils have con- ducted themselves. ,X I, O, The interests of childhood and youth are the interests of mankindf' To the Students of West High School: A school year is brief and presents an ever-changing pattern of interests and events. Classes, contests, pleasure, triumphs, friendships, disappointments-an endless stream which makes up a year of our associations to- gether. As this school year draws to a close, perhaps we cannot grasp its significance in its entirety, but I am sure that as the memories which may 4'pop for you grow deeper and more meaningful with the passing years, you will become aware of its full import upon your lives. The keen edge of memories may be dulled by the years, but their luster is never dimmed and needs only refreshing to he brought back and enjoyed. I trust that this book lnay be an everlasting font wherein you may refresh your memories of a year well spent. Principal Willinnz W. Gibson
