West High is on the air. This year the Annual staff presents to you. West High students, faculty, and friends, the 1942 Annual, your key to hours of enjoyment. The central theme of this year's book is Radio , with your Annual serving as your television radio set. Comparing the operation of the school to a radio station, the staff has developed this theme and hopes to show the distinct likenesses between the two. As every radio station has its program director, so every school has its principal, whose duties are much the same in planning the programs and activities. As every radio station has its analysts so does West High have its teachers, who guide and direct the students throughout their school career. You. the readers, who compare to radio's vast audience, play a most important part. It is you who make the news to be written about, and it is for you that the news is written. The various musical organizations at West High, along with many other extra-curricular activities, can be compared very appropriately to the talent division of a broadcasting station. From these organizations come your weekly paper, the Owl; music for the football and basketball games; your class plays; and various concerts throughout the year. All these go to fill your leisure hours with pleasure and profit. Just as your radio station has its commercials, so must your Annual have sponsors, which help make this book possible. The 19 2 Annual endeavors to show this close relationship between the school and a radio station and hopes, readers, that you will settle back in your easy chairs, set your dial at 1942, and see the program Station WEST has prepared for you.
