MHC T iewvid T' HE HESPERIAN of January, 1956, serves to chronicle memories of West, particularly as they occur to the graduating class. Three years in high school have necessarily wrought a profound effect upon the student, an effect whose full import only time can reveal. In addition to formal education, these years have helped to develop certain desirable social traits and to crystallize certain ideals in members of the class. It is significant, then, that we reaffirm our optimism and courage. For in these qualities has the January class found inspiration. found a renewed confidence in America and in humanity, a faith contrasting sharply with the pessimism of a troubled world.
