Vanzura To the students of West High School: Another fleeting year has passed! For some of you it has been your first year in high school. It has been for many of you a year of growth and progressg and for many of you who are graduating it will be your last year of school. Regardless of your classification -freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior - each of you has contributed some- thing towards the achievements of the school year 1957-58. Some of you have contributed littleg some, moreg others have worked untiringly for the welfare of the school. You alone have set down in your own way and in your own yearbook iust what has been done and who have been the doers. What one will pass over and ignore, another will cherish and dwell upon in happy memory. Looking to the time when you will use your yearbook to assist you in reminiscences of your high school days, we can but congratulate you and wish for all of you a Pres. West School Board future of increasing usefulness and happiness. lat has L-,..,.... i 'Ry 'SHN H Y X Superintendenfs Message To the students of West High School: l am happy to have this opportunity to extend to you best wishes for a present rich in meaningful experiences and a future blessed with satisfying success. It is the purpose of your school to help you fulfill these wishes, but the final degree to which they are realized by each of you will depend upon the intensity of your ambi- tion and upon the determination with which you strive to attain your life's goals. Please be assured of your school's abiding interest in your welfare, and if you ever feel the need for help from your teachers, your principal, or your superintendent, be sure to call on them.

N A xl f 9-ff Principals' Messages This publication reflects the growth and development of West High School since it gives each year a brief pictorial survey of the instructional, social, and athletic acti- vities of our student body. The Troian has always been an important factor in record- ing the history of West High, reflecting as it should the spirit which has meant so much to our students and our community. In keeping with this spirit, l admonish each of you to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. The editors and sponsor of this volume are to be commended for this ex- cellent publication, y WWW Go, little book, and wish to all Flowers in the garden, meat in the hall. I borrow Robert Louis Stevenson's lines because they express my wish for you. May the flowers in the garden of your life be abundant and the necessities of life ample -- and may you always be grateful to the Giver of both. WW - el . ca Q1 :Q c A . Q I, gg i at I. E i ::' ' MR.

Both district games were lost to a strong Gates- ville team, once on the Hornet's diamond and once more on the Troian's home field. West dropped Hillsboro twice at Troian Field. In non-district play West blasted Marlin 12-2 on the Bulldog's home grounds, then soundly whipped Mexia 19-5 making a good showing for the Future Freshman on the Troian field.
