0UR GUIDI MR. R. 0. CHRISTOFFERSEN I'ri11a'i1n1I The questions, What is the spirit of West High School? , How has it been developed? , and What best exemplifies it?,' are not easy to answer. l do not believe that it can be measured by the noise we make at pep meetings, nor by the number of parties which we have during the school year. I do feel it is in part exemplified in the following illustrations: A parent informed me that there was little danger of her child getting into trouble on week nights because he had so much home work to do. It is a good sign when the school and the community respect and demand a high standard of scholarship. Speakers and paid performers who contact hun- dreds of school audiences invariably remark, 'KMy, what a fine group you havclu Our athletic teams, drama. music, and publica- tion groups rise to their highest pitch of excellence when the occasion demands. Accepting a challenge and rising to the occasion typifies an important segment of West High tra- dition. -R. O. ctllRISTOFFERSEN SAM MR. G. A. STEINER lf.f.Vl.5l!II1I Principal Leadership is needed in the world today as never beforeg will you help? Remember, that in the United States it has always been each man,s desire to reach a little higher, to strive constantly for the better things in life. ln so doing, he has developed a Constitution which guarantees himself and his children the rights of the Four Freedoms. lt is this striving, also, which has made the United States the Mecca of the world. If each of you will forward these same ideas and apply the Golden Rule to all peoples of the world, then world leadership by you will be assured. -Guo. A. STEINER
