Welcome Week Emphasizes West High Warmth “Wilkommen. bien venu. welcome- was the spirit that Westites felt was lacking in previous years. Determined to make West the best school. Student Council President George Lars-gard initiated the idea of a Welcome Week. Council representatives approved his plan, and the premiere took place September 11. At the general information booth located on the second floor. West High book covers, folders, and other paraphernalia were displayed and sold. Welcome Week ended with an auditorium highlighted by Mark Horr and the West High Steppers dancing to Cabaret. Principal Mr. Janes and Assistant Principal Mr. Lammers greeted students and outlined West High procedures. Satirical skits cleverly portrayed first day frustrations of confused sophomores. The cheerleaders added the finishing touch to a memorable week by leading the year’s first pep fest. Student Council representative Dave Brin smiles reassuringly at approaching sophomores. You'll take what you get. you'll eat it and you'll shut up, retorts lunchroom cook Mark Schoenbaum to Soph Dave Brin. Performing a variation of a Cabaret number. Mark Horr and High Stepper Barb Brooks thoroughly enjoy themselves. 14
