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.

Miss Iowa of 1966 Pays Surprise Visit to West After deciding how to budget their spare time, eager West High students joined the rush for club membership during the first few weeks of school. A typical early morning scene was the intermin- ably long line of chattering, impatient students wait- ing to purchase supplies at the bookstore. Planned to stimulate student interest in Junior Achievement, the annual J. A. aud was presented September 13, with Robin Krumbholz speaking on the topic, Why Would Anyone Want to Join J. A.? Her answer was that Junior Achievement lets its participants meet other people, gain knowledge of the business world, and support free enterprise. That afternoon Marie Mushro, Miss Iowa of 1966, treated West students to a surprise assembly in which she described her recent trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey, and thanked West students for backing her in the pageant. In her presentation, Miss Mushro advised girls interested in the pageant to concentrate on improving your talent, but also study hard and have a desire to do something outstanding for the state of Iowa and for your country. The Senior Class held its first meeting September 15, and nominated candidates for senior class office and for Falcon Day's Queen.
