One of the most memorable events in any person’s life is his senior year in high school. We seniors here at West are no exception. From the lively and jubilant dances to the long hours of concentrated study, we have filled one year of life with a variety of human experiences. What we must realize is that education is a ceaseless process and that we should continually develop an awareness and sensitivity to our surroundings. This means that graduation is more of a starting point than a finish line. As far as our individual futures are concerned we arc limited mainly by our own lack of ambition, insight, and personal drive. Senior Class President, 1960 SENIORS
