INSIDE WESTSIDE In the many, many years to come, mem- ories of this year will dim and fade. One day, in the dark recess of the attic, you will come across a book--a slim little book to be seized with eager fingers. Before a group of calm and curious grandchildren you turn the pages-first laughing, then crying, and finally blushing. With a rush this prank and that will come crowding back into your memory and a wondering, How could I ever forget thatl There is never such a charming or per- plexing scramble as the four happy-go-lucky years of high school life. lt is that time you have dreamed of from the cradle, wondered how you got there at the time, and looked back upon with longing eyes when you have left. With this future in mind, our purpose in publishing this book of the year is to bring back the days when it was a strain to look dignified, and to show a cross section of the inner workings of our school. The pride we have in our work and progress, clubs, and activities is pictured within so you can look again-Inside West Side.

THE MAN OE THE YEAR Because in these four high school years he has become increasingly important to us, not just as a teacher, but as a friend to be loved and a scholar to be admired, we, the staff of '42 and you, dedi- cate this book to Mr. Troy C. Smith. We have known him for a long time, indeed, back in the days when we still wore braces on our teeth, our older brothers and sisters were coming home from school with enormous tales of travel- ing negatrons that resembled hat pins stuck in rubber balls-because Mr. Smith said so. Mr. Smith's original ambition was not to be the successful chemistry and physics teacher that we know him to be. He desired to be a linguist--to speak seven different languages. After studying Greek, German, French, Latin, and Anglo-Saxon, he decided he wasn't made to be a linguist, and following this decision, majored in zoology, After he was graduated, he taught a variety of subjects, but, we are pleased to say, he finally chose to teach chemistry and physics. A Bachelor of Arts degree from lndiana Uni- versity and a Master of Science degree from Co- lumbia University are merely formal acknowl- edgment of his keen intellect. Because he pos- sesses an active interest in current events and a delightful type of wit, Mr. Smith's classroom be- comes a fascinating place. Mr. Smith, in our book we give the year '42 back to you.
