DEDICATION THE l 9-42 WESTWARD-HO TO lwln. fewia elf. qenqua lt is a feeling of inadequacy that we of the class of '42 hold as we undertake to express in words our feeling when the name of Mr. Lewis V. Fergus is mentioned, In his many years of service to the school, his name has become synonymous not only with regular duties well done but also with student government, recreation, and activities promoted. His friends in West have noted with heavy hearts his illnesses which have kept him away from his higher mathematics classes, and their hopes are that he will continue to teach many years. Always a friend and adviser, Mr, Fergus has been to us a symbol of learning and of helping-and has set for aspiring teachers an example of how well these two go together, It is lvlr. Fergus' belief that all work with no play produces only a dry subject, and interests students little, and he has introduced many out-ofvdoor projects into his classes. And so. for his untiring efforts and constant aid to the school, we of the graduating class, on the part of students and teachers, dedicate this Annual to lVlr. Lewis V. Fergus.

qonewoncll Events have passed rapidly in the last tour years for the class of l942, especially the last two semes- ters, filled with activities and excitement. lts members have learned that the West building is a shell, enclosing the greatest faculty and student body in the world, that the school not only pro- vides opportunity for education, but so mixes work and play that it is a pleasant experience for the student to do his school work when he has so many activities into which he can enter., The Western- aire of l942, in the following pages, hopes to give a complete story of this past year, every write-up recalling clearly to the minds of Westerners all of the happenings of the last year, club activities, committees, studies and sports. lt is the hope of all Annual Board members that this book will serve as an album of memories- something to remind Westerners of what a great year it has been, despite the fact that in future years they will look back with sorrow and remem- ber that this, the senior year for the class of l942, saw the opening of one of the greatest wars in history. Compiling all of the happenings of a school year is a task that involves many difficulties, but the Board, by close cooperation and united effort, be- lieves it has done its best under the circumstances. Now, when you turn this page and start on the album of memories for the school years l94l-42, the pictures will probably suggest to all a familiar story-and if they do, the Annual Board will know that it has done its job.
