f • - • ft E S PC ftI AH E Wor6 to tl)e School For seven years the students of West labored to build the wonderful spirit we all know, and their work was good. Now. in this eighth year of our life, we are not only extending this spirit as our predecessors would expect, but we are entering on a new era of development. Not only have we expanded our school activities this year through ourorganizations, the “Weekly” and the Forum, but we have seen ground broken for the splendid new building which is to revolutionize the possibilities of our student life. This addition will nearly double our present floor space. It will give us adequate facilities in the way of lunch room, gymnasiums, society rooms, lecture rooms, school publication rooms, and will make possible the addition of new courses, as printing, typesetting and the like. It will be at the disposal not only of the student body, but also of the alumni, so that it will be a school home for all who have participated in the West spirit. During the year before us we shall watch the growth of this new home with the utmost interest. Let us during this same period be making ready to assume the new responsibilities which will devolve upon us in our broader physical environment. Let us realize that just as our nation is undergoing a period of expansion and of readjustment to new and strange conditions in this most critical time of the world, so are we, in our miniature world, facing a time of readjustment and wider opportunity. It is, then, incumbent on us. whether undergraduates or alumni, to strive as never before to l e prepared for our new life with the best we can achieve. Let us make this achievement, whether in scholarship or athletics, whether in things of the body or things of the spirit, worthy of our glorious past and an auspicious initiation for the NEW WEST. ; II9 £l 9
