LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY K. Barnett, Spanish P. Berqland, History R. Coke, History C. DeVoy, French Dear Editors: We would like to know why on earth you put history and foreign language on the same page. We can hardly learn our German as it is without ancient history complicating things. Some people say that Latin and history help each other, lout We just can't seem to tind out how. When we study' history, We just can't assimilate conjugations ot French and Spanish verbs. Now, taken separately, there's nothing we enjoy more than learning the history ot the World. On the other hand, it We study a foreign lan- guage, separately mind you, We are learning something worthwhile. lt we study long enough and learn how to express ourselves in another lan- guage, it is an accomplishment to be proud ot. We want to say that you have your nerve, thinking up a combination like this. Very truly yours, lrate students 46-47 13 R. McCrory, History M. Nelson, History H. Reilly, Latin H. Rounds, History W.

STARVING ARTISTS AND PLUMP COOKS Good morning, ladies. This is West's own Betty Bocker of the HEC department with another fifteen minutes of delicious recipes. Take your pencil and paper, ladies, and cuddle up close to the radio. First take 4 girls, then add stoves. Mix together until all girls get adjusted. Then take the food and cook in a saucepan until burned. lf you take a peek in the cook book occasionally, you'll find the dish improved. Now bake the remainder of the cooking utensils until the metal melts. Dishes and silverware will help the situation if you boil them in salt water. Mmm! You'll love this dish! Serve it with l-lEC's recipes to add a new flavor. lt's called Guaranteed Good Cook. And now, ladies, l'll be back again tomorrow morning at this same time, l2:l5-l2:3O A. M., Station WDHS. Bye for now. West's art students will always remember the largest room in the building in which they were free to give vent to their creative geniuses in commercial and fine art. ln the smallest and definitely the noisiest room in the school, others create fine art. By making lamps, hand-hammered art metal projects in metal work, racks and other useful commodities in wood work, industrial art students their skills. r 'if av-' wr k . M. Anderson, Art E.

MR. EARL RANIER We students are inclined to compare the new teachers to the freshmen, since they, too, must become accustomed to the new surroundings. Our school to them represents a new world. W' hat does our school have to offer to these new teach- ers? First, there is the build- ing, just recently built. ln it are eight lounges plus many other conveniences. Besides this, there are sixteen hun- dred students who are bril- liant geniuses. Seriously, West is wealthy in fine old traditions. We have a wonderful faculty, always willing to give, and wholesome, loyal students. So, now, we, the student body, extend a hearty, WELCOME, FRESHMEN, TEACHERS! HELLO AND GOOD-BYE The whole school was im- measureably saddened when they learned that Mr. Earl Rainier, our band director, would not be with us for some time. The whole student body, and especially his kids in the band miss him, because, be- tween Mr. Rainier and his pupils, there was more than the regular student-teacher relation- ship. Their relationship was one of friendship, respect and mu- tual admiration. lt is hard to describe his absence from West. While he was here, we did not fully appreciate him. That is only natural. We know that as a music teacher he was one of the best and a friendlier more likeable teacher can't be found. Mr. Rainier has to take a long needed rest, but we all sincerely hope that he will be with us soon, once again waving that familiar stick.
