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

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

Edward Willett M.A.? Science tftln Military Service kj H. Keith Cady M.A. Science Thomas F. Crull B.A Science Herbert J. Max M.S. Science Louise Worley B.S. Science All the teachers grouped on each page of this section were asked to reply to the same question. Their answers were combined into the following revelations of West's instructors. Mr. Weber, when asked what his idea of a difficult or dis- agreeable task was, said that although many problems in science are difhcult, each presents a challengeg and the satis- faction on solving the problem compensates for any disagree- ableness that one might encounter. Concerning the more regular daily classwork, Mr. Cady finds that making out a fair examination and grading it accurately, often reading be- tween the lines to get an implied meaning, is a most difficult task. In connection with school work, Miss Campbell's most distasteful assignment is convincing students that each course has requirements which must be met in order for them to pass. Especially in the natural sciences, Mr. Horall believes that there are few unpleasant tasks. The work he considers interesting and if one is interested in it, the subject can be enjoyable. If, sometimes, the experiments run over for a long period of time, they may become tiresome but rarely un- pleasant. A task which must be done but one which Mr. Max naturally finds very disagreeable is making out the slips. This duty reminds a teacher that even after con- stant prodding, some students do not take advantage of an excellent high school education. Miss Worley does not like ironing clothes and finds that getting out of bed early in the morning is a very distasteful daily task. 18
