F CULTY HROUGH the school day, each Westerner attends six different classes usually under six different teachers. In the class rc the faculty does not limit class work and discussions to the routine academic subjects, but its members teach the lessons of lessons which will help the graduate. One lesson of life is learning to use self-government. The West faculty expects and applies the practice of democracy everyday work. To a large extent students are allowed to choqse the units they wish to study, and many permit student in classes graduated to their abilities. In every class the teacher attempts to malce , . . . the student realize his place in the society of the world. The necessity of a planned occupation, at high morals, and a sound standard of living in keeping with the individual's income are stressed. The job of the faculty is not easy, and the members of the Senior Class leave Q West with sincere gratitude in their hearts 4' toward the teachers of West whose influence ' 5 will always be felt. - JAMES AANDAHL DON ALLEN MARY ARDREY ELI General Education Art General Education Psychology English LLOYD BAILEY HELEN U.

WILF ORD H. WOODY Assistant Principal ATE last fall, Mr. Wilford Woody was appointed to succeed Mr. Howard Johnson in the position of Assistant Principal of West High School. Al- though we shall remember Mr. Woody for the excel- lent worlc he is doing, we cannot let the opportunity go by without also thanking Mr. Johnson for the equally superb job that he did in his years in West. Mr. Woody is known for his unlimited energy, and his marvelous trait of always taking on difficult and tiresome jobs which no one else wants. This year, be- sides his regular duties as Assistant Principal he con- tinued as coach of the basketball team, supervised pro- gram changing, radio room control, and entered many other activities that required much of his extra time. We are honored, Mr. Woody, to be the first class of the first year in which you became our Assistant Prin- cipal. And we shall recognize in future years the fact that there is no one more capable than you to help govern West High and its many students. We wish you luck, Mr. Woody, As Time Goes By. 1-HLDEGARD s. SWEET Dean of Girls NE of the most sincere and friendly persons in West is Mrs. Sweet, our Dean of Girls. Most of the boys do not have the opportunity to meet her, but all who know her agree that a more under- standing and sympathetic person could not be found for this position. Mrs. Sweet is delightfully pleasant to everyone, and during the four years that we seniors have been in West, we have never heard her spealc harshly or un- kindly to anyone. Her sincere desire to accomplish, coupled with her genial personality and sweet manner has established a deep respect for her here at West, and it is often said that if ever a person lived up to her name, Mrs. Sweet is that one. When we leave West this June, Mrs. Sweet, we want you to feel that As Time Goes By and we recall those who have made our life pleasant, your name will be among the Hrst in the thoughts of all of us. We lcnow that you will continue in your helpful, inconspicuous way of malcing sad people happy, and mad people glad. 9
