WHEA Provides Bond The Wfest High Educational Association offers a closer relationship between parents and the school by having the parents help with various school activities. Sophomore, junior, and senior parents have an opportunity to come to school twice a year to hear a speaker or panel discuss topics such as The Importance of Participation in Extra Classroom Activities and 'lThe Use and Interpretation of Test Results. One of the outstanding panels this year was a group speaking on professions. These community representatives had also talked to the senior guidance classes. An open house at the beginning of the school year gives all parents an opportunity to meet the faculty. Profits from the annual card party provide one or more scholarships for deserving seniors each year. Following George Bull and Sue Offenstein pause to buy a coke from Mr. C. D.
