MR. WILLIAM J. McDOLE - WESTERDAYS' ADVISOR Mere words are not sufficient to express how we feel about Mr. McDole. The staff, the board, the entire senior class, all echo in a chorus of heart-felt gratitude to a man deserving of nothing but success. Working with him has been an immeasurable experience. We have learned much and forgotten little. He has constantly bolstered our confidence, inspired our originality, and commended our achievement. Without Mr. McDole, the WESTERDAYS would be just a yearbook, rather than a living recollection of our high school days. We thank him for letting us share in the task of improving our book, for by this sharing, we have improved ourselves. L l Ambition Effort Determination

1 atm DEDICATION A man whose wisdom is surpassed only by his kindness—a loyal man is he. Dear Mr. Moriarty, Although our days remaining at West Senior High School are few; your worthy guidance and our shared happiness will long remain in our hearts. Do you recall your first day at West? The devotion of our student body to its school must have impressed you even then. Through every corridor rang a note of pride—a note of belonging. It did not take us long to realize how much you, too, belonged at West. Our class has a special feeling of closeness to you, as, to- gether, we have experienced a year of true friendship. As the class of 1960, your first graduating class at West, we hope in some small way to show recognition of your continuous cooperation, devoted assistance, and endless patience. We sincerely wish that your future years here will bring you as much satisfaction and happiness as the joy and friendship you have brought us. Thus we dedicate to you the 1960 year- book of West Senior High School, WESTERDAYS, sym- bolic of our devotion. Always remember, The Seniors Class of 1960 2 Courage Integrity Prudence

«L ft PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE As graduation Day for the Class of 1960 approaches, there is an evanescent feeling of nostalgia at the pros- pect of leaving behind the familiar rooms and corridors in which you have spent three happy years. Most of you can look back over those three years with pride and satisfaction because you have made the most of your opportunities academically, socially, and culturally. You have made friends among your fellow-students and your teachers as well. Parting from them is sweet sorrow. As your Principal, I have learned to know you and to admire you. As a Class, you have been truly out- standing in many, many ways. As individuals, you have won the respect of both administration and fac- ulty. Your scholastic accomplishments are manifold, your athletic achievements have been outstanding, your behavior has been exemplary. These factors alone have endeared you in the minds and hearts of all of us. Now, as we send you out into the world of the future, we earnestly hope and pray that the lessons you have learned here at West will prove of inestimable value in the carving out of your future careers. We feel reasonably confident that you are emotionally, academically, and socially equipped to guarantee suc- cess in whatever careers you have chosen for your- selves. Success, however, does not come easily. No matter how well equipped you may be, there is still the necessity of hard work, long hours of study, and devotion to the duties of your station in life to insure that success. With the diploma you will receive goes the heartfelt good wishes of your Principal and all of the Faculty for your future success. We are proud of you now. Your future accomplishments will vindicate our pride in you. Even after you are gone, remember that WEST IS BEST, and that you can, and MUST be the living proof of that statement. Sincerely, Thomas J. Moriarty Principal • Wisdom ’ Fortitude Understanding
