The social season and spring fever-with those hnal comprehensive exams thrown in for good measure. This is the traditional April around West Deer. The comprehensives are given as reviews of the entire year's work. They usually turn out to be real block-busters. In other events around school, most of the classes had their annual spring class parties. The big one was the seniors' dinner-dance, enhanced with an Hawaiian theme. Adding their names to the '63 Hall of Fame were popular seniors Bob Uchic and Barb Burns who were selected King and Queen of Sports. '34-.lL.

This one was a compromise between a skirt and slacks-called a culotte.', Although the style had possibilities, school authorities and the public in general felt they were a bit un-lady like in this current era of civilization.

The 20th anniversary school term West Deer High School closed with the busiest of all months, May. The month brought joy to underclassrnen as they eagerly looked forward to a fun-filled summer vacation, and a bit of nostalgia to the members of the graduating class as they realized these were the last days they would wall: the halls of their Alma Mater and truly belong. Senior Recognition Day and Coronation linielighted the concluding days, as Lee McDonald was crowned the 1963 Senior Class Queen, along with graduation day. More end of the year honors continued to pour in for WD students, including a trip to Washington for Leroy Beclces. Leroy was awarded the prize for his outstanding essay written after representing Mr. Angeloni's P.O.D. class at the annual Law Day ceremonies in Pittsburgh. Then all too quickly the school year was over.
