Personnel! 44 7 K ELMER REED MRS. EDNA CORBETT ALFRED EKAS Maintenance Supervisor Cafeteria Supervisor Transportation Supervisor Able, l-lardworking Staff Keeps West Deer Humming VVest Deer High School maintenance, bus, and cafe- teria personnel were commended for another line year, although they were also hindered by a bursting school population, limited staffs, and aging equip- ment. One ol' the biggest losses of the year was the resig- nation this spring of MR. EKAS, the transportation supervisor. Mr. Ekas had won the praise of all for his devoted and loyal service over the tnany years. His position was awarded to FRANK BARLOM7, another of the township's top vehicle experts. A much welcomed addition to the maintenance staff was MRS. HERMAN who did an especially good job in improving the daily appearance of the building. Once more MRS. CORBETT and her busy staff successfully handled all chores of preparing and feed- ing an average of over 500 ravenous students each day. An eiiicient school organization requires the hard work and loyalty of all concerned. West Deer was fortunate in having these top caliber people on its staff. L. CHIEF CHEFS-These cordial people are well known to all West Deer students for they -,S have the big job of preparing N and handling the daily cafeteria meals.

Z HE'S THE GREATEST-Bill Manifold earned superior recog- nition for himself and West Deer High when he was promoted directly from his junior year to college freshman standing at the University of Mississippi. He concluded his iirst year there with outstanding honors. CLASS BRASS-Conferring about one of the numerous class projects are the four students and faculty sponsor who led the Class of '63 in its successful senior year. From left are Don Bobish, president: Miss Kraft, sponsor: Bob Paszek, vice-presidentg Donna Orda- kowski, treasurer, and Lee McDonald, secretary. 30 Class I-las Abundant Share of Leaders and Achievers The true mark of a distinguished class is its leaders and hardworking members. Truly, the Class of l963 was fortunate in having more than the usual amount of conscientious student leaders anti scholars. BILL MANIFOLD undoubtedly could be rated the Number l product of the class. Instead of completing his senior year on the high school level, Bill went from junior class standing immediately into a fresh- man accelerated program at the University of Missis- sippi. His superior accomplishments there earned him further honors, including membership in the fresh- man honor fraternity, as well as a nice going pat on the back from his old classmates at YVest Deer I-Iigh. The coveted position of valeclictorian of the class this year went to a hrst class student, PAUL GRANDY. Runners-up close behind were MARGIE KLOBUCI-IAR, LINDA JOHANSSON, LOUISE REIBER, and JOYCE ARBOGAST. Everyone was mighty proud of those five. Much of the success of this banner year can be at- tributed naturally to the ambitious and tireless work- ing group of senior officers: DON BOBISI-I, presi- dentg BOB PASZEK, vice-president, LEE MCDON- ALD, secretary, and DONNA ORDAKOWSKI, treas- urer. And one hnal hats off, and without doubt the most important recognition of all, goes to MISS KRAFT, the genial class sponsor who had the en- viable task of leading the leaders. They all made up a dynamic group of young leaders at VVest Deer High, but you can be sure there's more to be heard from these young men and women who are on their way up.
