ThaT iT be successTully execuTed represenTs The goal of every member oT The WesT l-'ligh TaculTy, Tor he is The sculpTo.', The medium beTween blueprinT and producT. Upon him depends The combinaTion af deTail, The achiev- ing oi: assembly Trom layouT. The WesT l-ligh Teacher, in The Tinal analysis, deTermines The sTrengTh oi The sTrucTure. AlThough This sTrengTh is deTermined by innumerable individual meriTs insTilled by The sculpTor, his main pur- poses are These: To deTermine and develop individual in- Teresi' and abiliTy Through selT-expression in class acTiviTy, To provide a general background by exTending The indi- viduals undersTanding oT world problems, and To develop The abiliTy To reason and The appeTiTe Tor knowledge so Thai, even when The sTudenTs Tormal educaTion is com- pleTed, he will never cease To learn. And iusT as cerTain qualiTies-sTrengTh, durabiliTy, and beauTy-are To be desired in every Type oT consTrucTion, wheTher skyscraper or ranch-house, so iT is aTTempTed ThaT These essenTial qualiTies be developed by every sTudenT oT every cur- riculum, college preparaTory or manual Training, so ThaT he may be a sTronger sTrucTure. Reconversion To peace-Time producTion has naTurally changed some oT The maTerials WesT l-ligh sculpTors em- ploy and The Type oT consTrucTfon aT which They aim. No longer is hasTe, Though Temporary value, The prime requi- siTe. Once again a well-rounded, permanenT sTrucTure is The goal, and alThough The place of Technical knowledge has noT been undermined, The imporTance oT humane un- dersTanding and unpreiudiced reasoning is emphasized in This day of broadened value and inTernaTional scope. Many years will pass beTore The True worTh oT The compleTed sTrucTure can be gauged. Only iT a building becomes more mellow and beauTiTul despiTe howling winds and driving sleeT, can iT be called a success. Only ii, having been bequeaThed a sound ToundaTion, iT in- creases in heighT and breadTh oT iTs own, will iT be a True example oT Tine craTTsmanship. YeT There can be liTTle doubT as To The evenTual heiqhTs which The WesT High senior will scan, Tor, as The poeT once apTly said, Whenever men have become skillTul archiTecTs aT all, There has been a Tendency in Them To build high.
