Mr. R. E. C. Love, Principal. Mr. Love has been the principal of West High School for the seven years of its existence. With the faculty he develops a fuller and more satisfactory curriculum to the advantage of the students. Mr. Love has been more to the student body than a dis- ciplinarian. His high standards have been a guiding influence to the students, and his sympathetic under- standing of their viewpoints and problems has made him greatly respected. Changing schedules to meet the needs of stu- dents, being sure that the business of the school is properly transacted, and attending all school func- tions are but a few of Mr. Love's many duties. est.

A WORD T0 THE FACULTY The faculty is one of the most important parts of our school, for the faculty members are the ones who guide the students in their formative years. Not only in the classroom do we feel their influence, but also in our extra-curricular activities. Teachers are the most influential people in our lives, as they inspire in us our thoughts, our ideals, and our ambitions. Seldom do the students realize the long hours spent by the faculty in planning our projects. The students of today are indeed the leaders of tomorrow, and whatever success West High graduates may achieve in the future will be due, in large part, to the unselfish devotion of our faculty members. So it is at this time that the i957-58 Westerner Staff would like to express the appreciation of the entire stu- dent body to the faculty members for their unceasing service to us.

With her friendly smile, kind words, and sweet disposition she is indispensible. One of her most remarkable qualities is that she knows the name of every student almost as soon as he ar- rives. No hour of the day finds Mrs. Wray too busy to listen to any problem a student may have- whether it concerns problems at school, problems at home, or the problem of a broken romance. With her unselfish attitude and her willingness to help, she has been a wonderful inspiration to all who at- tend West High. - M . ,I 21
