Pugf 4 The Blue Jay, symbol of VVest End High School, and a beloved character within the hearts of all of her alumni, has tlitted through the lives of thousands of people. Born in September of 1937, he was conceived by the student body of that year to match the colors, blue and grey, chosen to represent XVest. A growing, young bird, the Blue Jay wanted everyone to know of his presence, so, in that hrst year, he started a school newspaper, the lVc.x'f l'V'I.7llf,, named after Percy Bysshe Shelley's beautiful Ode to the VVest Wfindf' Wfhen the students decided to publish an annual which would record the Blue Jay's life from year to year they named it the ZIEPIIYRV, which means the gentle west wind, and matched the name chosen for the newspaper. Thus, the ZEPHYR came into being to furnish a book of memories for all who hold Wfest dear. As he grew up, the Blue jay entered the lives of many more VVesterners, and his spirit and sportsmanship came to be an example to all the succeeding members of the NVest student body, until, in 1955, his voice reached a mighty crescendo, when, with his cries of All the way for Doc,', in honor of the greatly beloved retiring princi- pal, Dr. Yarbrough, one of the Blue Jay's foster parents, he won the state basketball championship for the 'fourth time. In l955, he welcomed a new principal, who has won a place in the heart of the Blue lay. Because the Blue Jay has guided VVest End High School through another happy, successful year, to be depicted in the following pages, and because he is the beloved symbol of Wfest to all of her students and alumni, we the editors have based the theme for this year's ZEPHYR on the Blue lay.
