1967 Yearbook Message As the time approaches for your use in my final message to the Class of across the following quotation: ' E le words I should n, I ponder ovi Recently in my random veryone has his own,specific vocation or mission in liU; everyone carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he not be replaced nor can his life be repeated. Thus, everyone s task is as unique as his specific opportunity to implement it. Now that you have been at least partially prepared academically and socially to face the world, you should seek to add meaning to your life. Seek to gain a keener appreciation of: 1) who and what you are; 2) where you came from; 3) why you are here; and 4) where you are going..The more effectively you struggle with such questions of profound significance, the more likely you will be able to grasp yo ir own eternal worth and to assist others to find meaning in their lives. Whethter you are in the home, at work, or at college, you owe it to yourself and to others to give your best. Do not let frustration, hardship, or opposition deter you Jrom living up to your responsibilities with the quiet enthusiasm that can transform the humdrum of everyday life into a meaningful challenge. No matter what your position in life, you need a high goal or purpose as mpch as the air you breathe, most people 'muff their chances for personal development by paying too much attention to self and too little to others. Your efforts to promote the best interests of everybody may be a painful experience. Be ready to pay the price. You literally come alive when you give as well as receive. Look for waysj ta leave the world better for your having been in it. Of all the messages I have given you during the past three y0 rs, this is perhaps the most important one. And now, as I say farewell , mayl rommendthis outstanding Class of 1967, a class which I learned to respect and admire; a class whoseSuture attainments will bring honor and prestige to ur school. I am sincerely grateful for, and appreciative of, the wonderful cooperation you have given us and the spirit of loyalty you have shown. Keep us as intensely proud of you in the future as we are today. II I |!| 9

Every plane needs a pilot, and every ship needs a captain. The shortest journey can develop into the heaviest burden without the leadership of a man of wisdom. Due to the efforts of one man a problem of large degree could never become a reality here. We, the students of West Senior High School, are most grateful to our Principal, Mr. Thomas J. Moriarty. His multitude of virtues are constant and always in evidence to those around him. We leave Mr. Moriarty with regretfulness, but appreciativeness for his command of this, our voyage, to future destinies. fiL Mr. Thomas J. Moriarty Principal

Mr. William J. McDole Vice-Principal Pink slips, yellow slips, white slips, and Room 272 are perhaps the recollections of some of our Assistant Principal, Mr. William McDole. For most of us he is a hearty laugh, a genuine sense of humor, and ever-thinking and ever-planning for the welfare of our students. Always a disciplinarian, but foremost a friend we leave Mr. McDole with many thanks for so much we have taken from him.
