TUNE SENIORS Richard Peticolas, vice-presi- dent: lack Stein, president. lane Lundquist, secretary,- lames Trad, sergeant-at- arms: Shirley Erickson. Your Comet announcer speaks to the class of '43 for the last time. Memories, memories eand the life at West will all be in the past tense --the days that are no more. What has been Now for so long is just a memory to the Iune graduates of '43. You were once part of that hurrying, scurrying mob trying to find seats before the game started, your heart leaped when your eyes followed the flag as it soared up the staff: you were disappointed when the first touchdown was made by the other team. Then there was your first mark day and the day you went for your first finals: you too have experienced the sinking sensation when you were called to the office: you, too, were West Side. But now you, in your cap and gown are part of the class leaving old West. You will have to face a strange world. There will be things that you must do. You won't have to Wonder what to do with yourself, you Will have a definite place to go, a definite task to perform. You will be dividedp the boys to serve their country, either on the land, in the air, or on the sea g the girls to fill the places of the boys and to serve the country in their way. This you must do, and you will do it well. May your memories of West sustain you. 20
