CWl.nA. J'liQda-:cfandl Sweet Dean of Qlnh High school days are overl-Yes, indeed! But surely your experiences will remain a real part of your lives. Let us hope that they have helped you to develop into good, strong citizens of the world. The facts of algebra and history and biology and literature cannot all be remem- bered, though when you chance to meet them again they will have a familiar ring. You may ask why we expect you to take time to learn things if they are going to be forgotten. May l ask you: Have YOU derived anything of lasting value from the contact with other people in these classes? lf your answer is affirmative, then l say you have profited from your high school work and are ready to take your place in the world. My best wishes go with you for a well-rounded, influential future. CWln Jlowancll .Q jolmaon JlAAiAtant Uanlncipaf You have completed another successful year at West. Many of you will return next fall and continue the close fellowship which makes for the true West spirit, while at this time, however, we must bid goodbye to the many seniors who leave the Corral to find another place for themselves in this old world of ours. There were times when it seemed as though the academic life would get you down, but at that very moment the activity and social life of the school came forth to revitalize you for the task before you. Thus, day after daygyou experienced the ups and downs which made a cheerful and interesting life at West. All in all, it has been a fine year with a fine group of people. The many happy ex- periences we have had together will not be forgotten, and l hope that you will often recall the moments which played a part in making West the greatest school of them all. Best wishes and loads of success to each of you. of

lwln. .Sarn UQ. JJHQQ Cpnincilpall Pupils of West, congratulations upon your Annual. ln this era of war-time scarcity and high prices many schools have not been able to produc-e one as you have. This book is a tribute to your most excellent spirit and team-work of the past year. Your Annual should mean even more in years to come than it does now. Your pictures and write-ups will recall fond memories of high-school days. Those of your friends, AND THEIR SiC-NATURES, ire- member Annual signingll will be even sweeter years and years from now when your classmates have gone their varied ways. Members of the class of l942, l need not remind you that your days as students of West are almost over. Many of you have told me that those days have been busy, worthwhile, and happy. l hope you will continue to live by those principles of democracy we have tried to practice here, I think none can truthfully say they have not enabled us to live and work together successfully and happily. The time has come for me to say Goodbye and good luck to a friendly, helpful, energetic class. Come back or write sometimes. May your heart say to you, Once a Westerner always a Westernerl C! fsfazf

C-fha qacullty, West High School has a faculty worthy of any praise that can be bestowed upon it. ln all its relations with the students and alumni of the school its members are true to the democratic ideals which the school holds. They recognize the importance of each individual student as an individual and set an example of justice, friendly co- operation and of willingness to carry a share of responsibility in every organization or activity with which they are connected.
