Students, Days Reflect Varied Moods Life itself is composed of kaleidoscopic units of time. The year, as the longest unit, oyfers the greatest variety of colorful, impressionistic experiences. These experiences, in turn, may each be isolated as an event in the most basic unit of time, the day. Each day is a unit unique in its challenges to the individual person. With the pink glow of dawn travels the first of these challenges. They are realized in their full purpose during the day's experiences of clear insights or dark disallusionment, praising comments or biting sarcasm, satisfying achievement or heart- breaking failure. Life's series of days, like a chain reaction, triggers the ultimate development of a complete, well-adjusted human being. Feature ,amy 93, i . x

WHS Bids Welcome to Faculty and Students After weeks of quiet corridors, West High School waited for the familiar, excited sounds which would herald the return of its students and faculty. Throughout the summer months, preparations had been made until each room sparkled with fresh clean- liness. The custodial staff was not the only one who had been preparing for West's ,65 debut. The Falcon gridders held pre-season workouts twice daily during August to insure a strong and determined team. After two years' absence, West once again enjoyed having a foreign student. Angela Lewis arrived in Davenport August 13, and was enthusiastically greeted by many West High students anxious to make her feel welcome. Angela received a view of the city from aboard the Thunderbird during a cruise on the Mississippi River, September 8. The long line once again formed September 1, as registration got under way. Service fees were paid, and the fun of seeking out new classrooms and old classmates began. The commencement of classes, September 7, brought with it the many familiar sophomore predica- ments. But after those first few days of confusion and excitement, all fell into place and life at West High, 1965-66, got under way.
