FOR GOLD 6- GLORY As graduation draws near, the class of '40 wishes to express the belief that West High has achieved one of its main objectives, namely, that of promoting the wel- fare of the community. During our four years stay, West High has suc- ceeded in establishing a high degree of citizenship and a remarkable moral standard, as well as contributing towards our physical and mental education. This has been attained through the aid of a willing and capable faculty, the benefits of many social events, an excellent competitive sports schedule, and a broad curriculum. xfvlftit High has offered, and will continue to offer to its students, the very best of the elements requisite to its purpose. ln our opinion, four years at VVest High have truly prepared us for our next step into the world-be it toward the furtherance of education or the making of a livelihood. VVe now turn to some of the main events which occurred during our stay at West High. ln 1956, 240 awe-stricken freshmen were cordially greeted at the gates of West High by their devoted advisor, Mr. Meyers. Since that tirst meeting, Mr. Meyers has capably and successfully guided us through our four years. He was assisted by six competent fa- culty advisors, Miss Fruin, Miss Wood, Miss Suino, Miss Thompson, Mr. Newman, and Mr. tlebens, to- gether with the other members of the faculty. Among the tasks which they supervised were the publication of the EOS, annual parties, selection of class rings and announcements, commencement, and numerous other undertakings. XVhen we entered NVest High, in the fall of 1936, we were confronted with the task of electing officers. As a result of this election, Helen Wheeler was made president, and Vincent Desmond, Rosalie Reising, and Marjorie Mae Stolp were elected to assist her through- out the year. The freshman dance, given on the even- ing of April 9, marked the highlight of the social events of the year. Under the leadership of Eugenie Bennethum, Robert liillings, lletty Lund, and Mildred Stolp, we continued our journey through our second year. During this year the Drainatic Club made its debut with a one-act play, A Doctor for a Day. Un April 8, the class was host at the sophomore party held at VVest High, bringing to an end the year's social activities. Leaving our freshman and sophomore years behind, we advanced to the ranks of the upperclassmen. Robert llanbury was head of the class board, with VVilliam Goldsmith, Clara lferry, and Ada Thomas assisting. During this year members of the class of '40 had the President, Mickey Ewing: Vice'President, Don Frank: Secretary, Betty Lund: Treasurer, Clara Ferry.
