Mr. Blue I prefer to think of West Senior High School as an educational laboratory where the faculty, pupils, and community diligently and consistently study pupil educational needs and adjust the program of studies, subject content, and methods of instruction to meet these needs. This con- ception of the senior high school necessitates an open-mindedness and an alertness with refer- ence to the educational needs of high school youth and a willingness to seek and put into opera- tion the best information and practices available. With this purpose in mind, to meet the educational needs of high school youth, we are working to improve the health program, to effect greater skills in reading, writing, and speaking, to develop an understanding and apprecia- tion of our local, state, national, and international problems, to establish sufficient mathematical background to meet the problems of everyday life, to provide a better understanding and appreciation of the laws of nature as revealed in the biological and physical sciences, to encourage development in literature, art, and music, to offer opportunities for a broad vocational training, and to give the boys and girls the information and advice which will enable them to select their programs of studies and subjects more wisely. This program, if properly adjusted to the needs of boys and girls at the time it is given, probably will meet the needs of the youth in the future the same as it meets the needs of youth today. jAMns E. BLUE, M.A. Principal . 16

Lamphere School Dentist !lDMlNl5'7Ri47l0N . . The possibility of a new world depends in largest part upon young people who now have traveled much and seen far places and discovered that the human race is essentially very much alike, that all blood is red and differences which were formerly thought important, such as religion, national and racial lines, are, after all, secondary to the essential busi- ness of living. I . . . believe that any young person, convinced of that fact, will be able to bring to our institutions . . . a spirit of essential unity and goodness. -Mr. Charles W. Roe. The miracles promised for a post-war world are but the application of knowledge to research and experimental work. If, through the educational facilities afforded, youth has learned how to acquire knowledge and apply it in the solu- tion of problems encountered, a basis for participation in a promising future will have been established. -Mr, George C. Olin. Greater new opportunities in every line are being created by our scientists and inventors for students who have the natural ability, knowledge, and will-power to work hard and long for the reward. But success is the gift to all of us who learn to be healthy, to take pride in doing useful work well, to be reverent to God and friendly to others, and to enjoy life with whatever means our abilities and efforts earn for us. Making a happy home is successful living. -Mr. Ernest Estwing. This new world, opened up by the airplane, challenges youth to study more widely its history, economics, and languages .... This generation's patriotic duty will be to help preserve the democratic way of life. Preparation to think courageously, to vote wisely, to discuss public ques- tions intelligently, to serve in public ofhces honorably is es- sential. In whatever capacity, youth of today must serve their country as trained and tolerant citizens of tomorrow. - Mrs. Marion L. Bates. 15

MISS PUTNAM In Tomorrow,s World what opportunity will today's high school girl meet? Will the war-time unprecedentedly wide vocational field for today's women still be open, though probably to fewer numbers? Surely, one great opportunity will be found in the need for many, many young women in nursing and in our governments efforts to restore handi- capped soldiers to a life as nearly normal as possible. To the girl, as to every woman, meeting the adult world of tomor- row, will come the challenge to help make unselfishly in every possiblsgvlay thelaomelarid suchaaplace that the Leturningf soldier will feel his struggle and his tremendous sacrifices have not been in vain. MR. LUNDAHL -Hazel G. Putnam, B.A Dean of Girli' Generous assistance and helpful cooperation has characterized the role of the principal and his associates in the production of this Annual and in all Publications work. The very statements appearing on these two pages demonstrate the officials' willingness to aid in the journalistic endeavors of the Publications Staffs. From other administrative officers, including the class counselors and department heads, as well as the office staff, has come very special assistance in the many details connected with the presentation of an accurate picture of school life. An excellent school spirit, manifested in this instance in the close harmony of the Administration and Publications, has made the Annual Staffs work both enjoyable and beneficial during 1943-44. The world of today has challenged the boys of our high school to equip themselves for specialized assignments in the mili- tary field. The challange of tomorrow's world will probably lie in perfecting the many new inventions, new materials and new processes that have been brought forth as a result of the present conflict. As in the past, education will be a predomi- nant factor in meeting this challenge. There is no substitute for knowledge. It is our fondest hope that our boys may re- turn to avail themselves of further training for a happier and better world. They are accepting the challenge today-they will accept the challenge of tomorrow. A . Arthur W. Lundahl, M.A. A.r.fi.ffmz1f Prifzcipazl
