Principal WILLIAM C. KNOELK ELCOME, Mr. Knoelk. We, the students of West Division, are proud and happy to have you among us. Who wouldn't be proud of a man who has filled so well the place left vacant by our beloved Pop Shong? We recognize you not only as a leader in education, but as a friend and helpful adviser. The first day you came, we remember, you walked down the halls with a cheery smile or hello for all whom you met. ls it not little things like these that really count with students? We like to have you take our interests to heart, just as you do, and we like the thoughtfulness you display when dealing with us. Be a part of us and of our activities as you are. We like to see you in our classrooms, at our club meetings, and at our games. So we sing out a welcome to you with the spirit of West in our hearts, and may each succeeding body of students share our satisfaction.
