V • We, the class of 1961, proudly dedicate this edition of W'ester-days to Miss Rosa J. Minkins. We sincerely hope that this volume may find a place in her heart as well as on the shelves of the library over which she graciously presides. We trust that this book may recall for her those students whom she has guided over the years. We have come to her not only for books from the shelves but for instruction from the book of life itself. She has always been helpful whether our problems were scholastic, social, or spiritual. A prominent page in the lives of all of us is inscribed to Miss Rosa J. Minkins with affectionate gratitude. Zhe Seniors . • •� - -■ . . ■ pr ■' 2 Principal’s Message Today you are making tomorrow's memories! As the end of your high school career draws near, you are experiencing the inevitable feeling of nostalgia which accompanies the departure from a place which you have learned to respect and revere, from friends you have made throughout the years, and from associations which burn anew whenever the name of West Senior High School is mentioned. You have passed another milestone in your budding careers. Now you must look forward to the next milestone. The transition from high school to future careers raises problems which must be solved, doubts which must be dispelled, and hopes which must be carefully guarded. We of the Faculty and Administration, who have been your advisors, your counselors, your friends for the last three years, sincerely hope and pray that our efforts to make you ready for this startling transition have not been in vain. Only time will tell whether you will measure up to the goals and ambitions you have set for yourselves. Of what good are jewels to the blind or great opportunities to men without vision? We have tried to instill within the heart of every graduate the deep appreciation of knowledge, the keen sense of responsibility, the overpowering desire for higher learning, and the-strong will to succeed in whatever careers you have chosen for yourselves. These are the jewels we have bequeathed to you. They are not the gaudy jewels which sparkle today and tomorrow lose their lustre. These are not the jewels which lose their value overnight, nor whose worth is dimmed by the passing of the years. These are the jewels which if treasured and cared for through the years will guarantee each and every one of you a fair modicum of worldly success or at least a fair share of worldly happiness-without which this is indeed a very dull and drab world. Let not your struggle for worldly success becloud your thinking or your actions toward your fellowman. Remember that the art of giving encompasses many areas. We give of ourselves when we give gifts of the heart: love, kindness, joy, understanding, sympathy, tolerance, forgiveness. We give of ourselves when we give the gifts of words: encouragement, inspiration, guidance. Giving of ourselves brings untold joy and happiness to ourselves and to the recipients of our gifts. There is far more satisfaction in giving than in receiving. Up to now you have been almost exclusively on the receiving end; now it is your turn -to start giving. To the graduates of the Class of 1961, we of the Faculty extend our sincere and heartfelt wishes for future success. We ask you to remember that happiness does not depend upon what happens outside of you but on what happens inside of you; it is measured by the spirit in which you meet the problems of life. It does not come from doing what we like to do but from liking what we have to do. Be happy and content with your state in life and you will then radiate your happiness; you will affect all those who come into contact with you; you will experience that inner glow of personal satisfaction which comes only from a duty well done and a life well spent. MR. THOMAS J. MORIARTY—Principal 3 MR. JOHN B. RICHER—Assistant Principal Mr. Richer, in his capacity as assistant Principal, has always possessed a keen sense of understanding and kindness in his dealings with us and in the performance of his sometimes unpleasant duties. Although he is often thought of as the strong hand of discipline, as graduation approaches, we begin to realize the value of his judgment. For his sincere efforts on our behalf we would like to express our deep appreciation. I Justice • friendship • leadership MISS MARY J. McKITCHEN—Dean Our three years at West surely would not have been as successful without the aid and guidance of our dean, Miss Mary J. McKitchen. Her advice, in our sophomore and junior years, on which classes we should take and what tests were necessary was invaluable. Then as we became seniors our trips to her office became more and more regular. She was always there with a helping hand whether it was a job or a college application about which were were concerned. We the class of 1961 will always remember Miss McKitchen with gratitude and affection and we hope she remembers us and takes pride in our accomplishments. 4 MISS CHRISTINE C. MASSIE—Counselor The Class of 1961 knows that we could not have had a better guidance counselor if we had chosen her ourselves. Miss Massie’s qualities of understanding, kindness, wisdom, and deep concern for each of us have endeared her to our class. At her desk, many of us were able to relieve ourselves of many problems, whether school or home, just by talking with her. She has shown us with pride our strong points, and with understanding and help our weak ones. We have indeed been fortunate to have guidance such as hers in choosing our future jobs, training schools, and colleges. Our years at West have been much happier and more profitable because of her guidance, and we the class of 1961 will be forever grateful. 4 Wisdom • guidance • Understanding MISS ELIZABETH M. KELLY—Advisor A sincere thank you is well earned by Miss Kelly, our class advisor, for her untiring efforts on behalf of our class social functions. Our Sophomore Hop, Junior Prom, and Senior Reception will long be remembered because she spent many hours and much thought in preparation for them. Her advice to our many committees gave them the know-how to make all their efforts successes. Her ability and enthusiasm have added much enjoyment to our days at West High. 5 MR. WILLIAM J. McDOLE—Westerdays' Advisor Our deepest appreciation to our advisor, Mr. William J. McDole, who not only advised but taught us how to work together as a staff. Without his aid in organizing the staff, meeting deadlines, and putting the book together, this yearbook would not have been possible. His hearty laugh and friendly personality was welcomed at every meeting. His interest in us and our book was symbolized by his favorite expression, do you know what direction you’re going in, and with him as advisor we usually did. Mr. McDole's ability to lead without dictating, to suggest without demanding, and ask without ordering, made him admired by all. We will always remember him not only as our advisor, but our friend and teacher as well. 6 Q idOJi$ “Zake fast hold of instruction BRUCE DAWSON President 36 Prentice Avenue Electronics Reason and judgement are the qualities of a leader.

Class Ode Aboard the ship of life we climb Now as the years do flee, And we must leave the sheltered port To sail the open sea. Oh! Sad we are to leave the past, To face the storms that rise; Yet, eager still to take command And make decisions wise. Then as a captain guides his ship And stays within the channels, We’ll keep our lives beyond reproach When written in the annals. Lord, help us all to chart our course Through life’s sea, rough or calm, That we may reach our destined shore, Protected from all harm. —-Karen E.

Those were the days when the corridors and classrooms were frightening and strange. Those were the days of adjustment spent in hard work. The talent which was to be the trademark of our days at West was evidenced by the sophomore play, The High White Star, which was presented in April. Our spirit of gaiety that year was marked by Springtime in Paris”—our wonderful Sophomore Hop which was held on May 15. As we entered our junior year, the number of activities and social events became greater. We restored the traditional class rings, with the black onyx and gold torch. Our junior play, Father’s Been to Mars, was a smashing hit in February. The date of our Prom, Friday, May 13, showed that our class was not at all superstitious. Everyone there seemed to find that it was, as the theme suggests, Paradise.” Our final year seemed to be one in which we broke tradition. We decided early in the year that the girls would wear white at Graduation. Later, we received permission to hold our Senior Reception out of school. These accomplishments would not have been possible without our class officers—Bruce Dawson, President; Linda Sheehan, Vice President; Janet Howard, Secretary; and Paul Brandley, Treasurer. The talent in our senior class was again displayed in the senior play, Clementine,” which was held in December. Our reflections have led us to conclude that we could not have asked for a more profitable or more wonderful three years. These years have given us memories which will be treasured for a lifetime, and we leave these halls with 57 regret.

Juniors Elect Class Officers Slaney, Chosen President By Yvette Rosenberg won the position of secretary j Antonio Pircs will take care Training at West by Peggy I.ee and Janet Monaghan West is happy to welcome our two new student teachers. Mr. John Szcrody and Mr. Raymond Stubbs. Both arc members of the Senior Class at Bryant College. Mr Stubbs is a native of Pas-coag. Rhode Island. He is a member of the Theta Tau. In a recent interview he commented that he likes teaching and is proud to be in the profession. Teaching in office machines and filing, he is under the supervision of Mr. eorge McCabe He will recch s Bachelor of Commercial Sc -.ice in February from Bryant Mr. Szeredy is from Webste Massachusetts. He is Vice-Prof, dent of Beta-Sigma Chi. a member of the Newman Club and Theta Tau. He said that he finds the students friendly which makes his job easier. Teaching shorthand and type, he is under the supervision of Miss Mae I. Connor, and like Mr. Stubs, he will also receive his Bachelor of Commercial Science in February. This is the second in a series of articles by Mr. Paul Dejaer. a Belgian exchange teacher, depicting the Belgian way of life in contrast to the American way. Elaborating on the contrast between the Belgian way of life and the American way, Mr. Paul Dejaer. the Fulbright Exchange Teacher from Belgium, informed this reporter of one startling fact about elections in Belgium. Neglecting to vote.” declared Mr. Dejaer, is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment or fine.” Three political parties dominate our horizon in Belgium. The Conservative or Catholic Party has a religious tendency toward issues, while the Socialist Party, definitely not Communist, is more democratic in its beliefs. Size does not make the Liberal Party (the third party) the least important. On the contrary, it gives the middle class a better chance of stating their views, to the other parties. The Liberals, being the smallest party, have the number of votes necessary to help either of the larger organizations. In this way there are always two parties in power at the same time, the Catholic and Liberal Parties or the Socialist and Liberal Parties.” The party rule extends beyond government affairs into the labor unions. Strikes are handled differently in Belgium: for example. if the Bakers Union of the Socialist Party went on strike the whole organization would pull up stakes. This system. I believe, has more influence and receives quicker action that similar strikes that occur in the United States. said Mr. Dejaer. Since World War 11. the Na- David Slaney was elected President of the Junior Class. His assistants are Corrine Pequeno. vice-president. Dolores Francisco A student may receive his working papers at fifteen with his parents' consent At the age of sixteen. if he wishes to quit school, he may if he has obtained steady employment.” When asked about American prestige in Belgium, Mr. Dejaer replied: I have been away from my country for three months, and do not know what the situation is, but I imagine my people still feel friendly towards the United States.” Mr. Dejaer enthusiastically spoke of his wife and daughter’s expected arrival in the United States on March 25. His daughter is studying English in Belgium, and will attend East Avenue Elementary School during her sojourn in the United States. I hope to spend more than a year here.” stated Mr. Dejaer. but cannot honestly say until my family arrives.” P. D. Classes FormNewClub By Peterene Sweistis Mr. G.

Swim Zeam Competing against such outstanding swim teams as LaSalle and Cranston, the West High mermen” have ranked high on the high school list of swim teams in Rhode Island. Good sportsmanship, that priceless quality, is a well known attribute of the 1961 swim team. Under the careful supervision of Perry E. Quimby, the team has succeeded in gliding through a number of records and victories. Coach Perry Quimby discusses strategy with co-captains J Hitchens and J.

Every day from 3:00-5:00 you’ll see our track team working hard, running and sweating under the hot sun. Under the careful supervision of their coach, Mr. Kilmartin, they work to improve themselves to their fullest capacity. While some boys are practicing hard at football, others are running to build up their speed and endurance. A relatively new sport at West, Cross-Country is gaining in popularity. Any boy who likes running will enjoy being on the Cross-Country team. CROSS COUNTRY TEAM FIRST ROW, 1 to r: D. Lima, C. Altonian. E. Goff, A. Pires. SECOND ROW: S. Pansy, D. Kroll, T. Giblin, C.

'Study, study, study . . . this high schoo work is a dog’s life!” Valedictorian.• RONALD CARON One of the greatest academic awards granted to a member of a graduating class is that of being chosen valedictorian. Ronald Caron is certainly worthy of this honor. Not only has he made his mark with an excellent scholastic record, but he has also won the respect and admiration of his fellow classmates. Valedictorian and 116 Salutatorian RUTH BENNETT Among those honored in the class of ’61 is Ruth Bennett. She has been selected class salutatorian, an honor which she has earned through diligent and conscientious study. Such a student is a credit both to our class and our school. Rational Merit Scholars (Monorable Mention) EDGAR GOFF Although the Merit Scholarship Board’s examination is extremely difficult, it is not surprising to any of us that Edgar has done admirably. Since he has been an outstanding student throughout his years at West, we are glad to extend our congratulations on this recognition of his ability. There has never been any doubt that Edgar would rank high in his class because of his continued efforts in all of his endeavors. CYNTHIA NEILD In many fields Cynthia Neild has displayed an ironic tendency for winning. Her intensified effort in all that she does has produced the various rewards that we now recognize. Cynthia's achievement in the Merit Scholarship Examination has once again made her a winner We are indeed proud of all her outstanding accomplishments and sincerely hope that she will continue to do well in the years which lie ahead. BARRY FELDMAN Time after time, Barry has proven beyond a doubt that there is no one who excels more in brilliance and ability than himself. His rating on the Merit Scholarship Examination has shown that he does possess a keen aptitude for studying which, we are sure, will lead him to success in his future career. 117 Rhode J stand Jdonor Society FIRST ROW.

RHODE ISLAND HONOR SOCIETY West can be very proud of the Honor Society. These students, who have maintained a high academic average, indeed deserve recognition for this achievement of outstanding merit. Ruth Bennett, Arlene Fagan. Karen Hedberg, Ronald Caron, Barry Feldman. All “A’’Average The attaining of a consistent all A” average is an achievement worthy of praise and recognition. It is in acknowledgement of this achievement that we express our sincere congratulations to these students who we know have sacrificed much, to obtain even more. May continued success always be theirs in the years to come. University of Rhode Jstand Seminar A Saturday Seminar Program for select high school students began this fall. This program enables the student to obtain more specific and detailed knowledge in the areas of math and science. Topics are introduced with background and discussion and the student is permitted to visualize, analyze, and experiment for himself in seeking new information. Lecture is supplemented by study groups and field trips. D.A-R- Award Winners Linda Sheehan and Ronald Caron were chosen by the Senior Class and faculty to represent West High School at the annual D.A.R. banquet and convention in Boston in April. This award was based on character, dependability, leadership, service and patriotism. Throughout their years at West, they proved to their classmates and teachers that they possessed these qualities of citizenship. Linda, vice president of the class, and Ronald, valedictorian of the class, truely deserved this high honor bestowed on them. RONALD CARON and LINDA SHEEHAN 4 V CYNTHIA.

As a student she was an honor student who took an additional subject each year, took two Saturday Seminar Science classes at U.R.I., received honorable mention from Merit Scholarship Board, became a member of the R.l, Honor Society and while still a Junior was admitted to Pembroke College. As a budding doctor, she learned the language of her future career by working as admitting clerk at Memorial Hospital three hours daily and on weekends and holidays. As essayist extra-ordinary she wrote the Governor's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation two years in a row; the first place essay m a statewide contest on Employment of Physically Handicapped and with the same essay-second place nationally, the first place winners in both the Fire Prevention Week Essay Contest and second place in state for an essay again on Employ capped. :ment of the Handi- Oel rhrist°Pher eweroot Ci o' from amat,0° winning Hetty Crocker Hake-Off Winner KAREN HEDBERG The Homemaker of Tomorrow Contest is won by the girl who obtains the highest rating in a competitive exam. Karen Hedberg was one of the girls from West High who competed in this contest. Her sincerity and genuineness were two of the qualities that enabled her to succeed in winning the Homemaker award. However, as those of us who are acquainted with Karen very well know, the qualities of genuineness and sincerity are not the only qualities that made this accomplishment possible. Karen, an outstanding member of the Senior Class, has achieved many scholastic honors. She has sustained an all A” average, is a member of the Rhode Island Honor Society and W'rote the Class Ode. Although it would seem to achieve these honors she does nothing but study, this is not true. She finds time to represent West in the Model Congress, Girls’ State and U.R.I. Seminar. .History Award Winner STEPHEN FORTLOUIS Stephen Fortlouis, in this junior year, was awarded third prize in a history contest sponsored by the Blackstone Valley Rotary Club. He was also honored by attaining the highest score at West in a national current events tests given by Time Magazine. Stephen plans to develop this remarkable aptitude and avid interest in world affairs by a career with the foreign service. 121 Belgium 8nchange teacher We consider ourselves fortunate to have Mr. Paul Dejear, Belgian Exchange Teacher, with us for the past school year. The exchange program requires a teacher from the United States to teach in another country for one year and, in return, a teacher from that country comes to teach in the United States for the same amount of time. Mr. Dejear, a German Language teacher, has been the first exchange teacher to have taught in the Pawtucket School System. Mr. Gerard Baribeault, a former teacher at Tolman High School, has been teaching in Belgium in Mr. Dejear’s place. Through Mr. Dejear, we have gained a better understanding of our European neighbors and their way of life. In years to come, we, the graduating class of 1961, will hold in our hearts the memory of Mr. Dejear—a fine man, a dedicated teacher, and a friend to all. Student teachers FIRS I ROW. 1 to r: Paul N.
