A WORD TO THE FACULTY Seldom do we the students take time to express our appreciation to some of the most influential people in our lives, our teachers. They represent the key to our future characters, for it is they who will in- still within us our knowledge, our thoughts, our ideals. So often we regard our teachers as po- licemen, interested only in supervising our work and seeing that it is turned in on time. We forget the times when they have stayed after school to help us further understand our lessons. We fail to acknowledge the long hours which they have given advising a class or helping with a school sponsored Did you think that you would ever see Mr. Sanders and Mr. Hardin sitting at the same table? is X , I 1 club. In the following pages the WESTERNER shows the activities of the past year. None of these could have taken place without the help of some member of the faculty. In every phase of our life-in sports and in dramatic, literary and governing organizations-the guidance of some teacher made possible the continuance and success of the activity. Therefore, at this time, we the WESTERN- ER STAFF of l957 would like to express the sincere gratitude of the student body to the faculty for their unceasing service and con- tinuous interest in all of our activities. The big three Coach Messeroll, Coach Wright, and Mr. Smith.

Besides keeping an efficient office and attending to her other secretarial duties, she finds time to be a counselor and friend to every student.

Mrs. Wray is always willing to give her time to those who need her. No hour of the day finds her too busy to listen to any problem a student may have! whether it be about a desired scholarship or broken romance. Her unselfish attitude and her willingness to help whenever and wherever she can has made her well-loved by all who attend West High. i, -.Q -1,
