Achieving Excellence In Academic Phases. . The light of leaming never sets as students continue their experiments at night. All phases of life at West Side involve learning: learning how to get along with people and with ourselves, learning new sports, but most obvious, learning through our academic work--this being the basic purpose of school. Here, in our academic classes, We learn to meet many of the challenges of high school life: the meticulous experiments to find the unknown in chemistry.. .the careful decipher- ing of a geometry problem. . .the dishearten- ing attempt to speak with a French accent.. . that ardent endeavor to understand Shake- speare. As we face and overcome these, we are ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE. Frequent student-teacher conferences help achieve excellence

Accepting The Responsibility Of Leadership. . Darkness covers the classroom as a TEC member runs the projector for the teacher. West Siders rushed through a whirlwind of activity as they attended dances, went on paper drives, cheered the Devil teams on to victory, and participated in a myriad of other projects. Selling knives and pennants kept the junior class busy as they earned enough money to put on the Prom, and the seniors struggled just as hard to finance their Gala Week. Speech Arts, Hi-Y, Panorama, Pep Club, Sci- ence Club, TEC, SCARLETTE, and the SCAR- LET and GRAY all had a load of activities. Be- sides the fun of working on the plays, committees, and crews, West Siders obtained much experience in every facet of working together and leading others. Constantly on the move, West Siders made this year a most memorable one while MEETING THE CHALLENGE of responsibility and leader- ship in clubs and school organizations.
