West Deer Township hifi- A i - i Foreword. .. You Made News During 1959-60 It was the school year 1959-60 . . . the turn of a decade . . . West Deer High School . . . and YOU WERE THERE. You were one of 859 students who helped set a new, bulging enroll- ment record here. In fact, in many ways, the year was record-making . . . different . . . spec- tacular . . . memorable . . . mainly because of you. In reality, there was much expected of you during the year . . . much offered to you . . . and in most cases much gained by you. Throughout it all beamed the realization that you had been picked as the foundation for a do-or-die future . . . a future which had a rendezvous with destiny. Your main task at hand was to learn . . . about everything you could . . . from everybody you could . . . teachers . . . guest speakers . . . books . . . newspapers . . . yes, even TV. You learned through individual study . . . oral reports . . . even from those ever lovin' research papers! You learned by looking . . . filmstrip . . . demonstration . . . blackboard . . . microscope. You learned by doing . . . prepare oxygen . . . draw a building in perspective . . . conjugate verbs . . . solve quad1'atic equations . . . use force in your oral delivery . . . operate a lathe . . . measure the gravitational pull on an object . . . sew a straight seam. But midst it all you still enjoyed yourself immensely, no matter how tough they tried to make high school. You learned the processes of participating, becoming a leader, enriching your life and those of others by taking part in count- less school events of all types. And whether we won or not, you still turned out to cheer the Braves. You were seen at the class parties . . . the Christmas Ball . . . the S Sz S . . . the Prom . . . the school picnic at West View. And when it was all over, you had achieved your cherished goal . . . a diploma signifying 12 long years of study in American schools. Almost instantaneously it was all over. But as you leaf through the pages of your COALAGRA, may you relive the school year 1959-60 . . . the turn of a decade . . . West Deer High School . . . when YOU WERE THERE. 3
