The horizon of an American has expanded from the initial local community, across a continent, over the oceans to include both hemispheres and now to the brink of the space age—the Universe—the unknown horizon of unlimited potential and hope for mankind. A direct analogy can be drawn between the expanding horizon of an American and the ex- panding horizon of a student progressing through West Orange High School. This is the theme of the 1961 W est-O-Ranger. The faculty might be compared to the community of an individual. The immediate surroundings of the individual are always the most familiar and have infinite bearing on his future. Just as the horizon of the American gradually extended beyond the immediate community, ac- tivities expand the horizon of the student beyond the requirements of the curriculum. As a sophomore enters high school he is on the frontier of learning. The three years of high school life of the individual are formative years, and do for him what the frontier did for the American in years gone past. Nothing expands our horizons as much as par- ticipation in competitive athletics. Interscholastic competition develops initiative, determination and sportsmanship. Athletic competition has a universal appeal that overcomes language, custom and race barriers, and together with ease of communica- tion and transportation has tended to make our world a small one. Our horizon as graduating seniors in this day and age is virtually the world, and might shortly include the universe. At no other time in our his- tory have young people had at their disposal the instruments of communication and transportation that we take for granted. The story of an American's expanding horizon is portrayed by the art work throughout this book. As his horizon expands the story of the past year at West Orange High School unfolds to the reader. The class of 1961 has arrived at a new frontier. As the last class to graduate as a unit in West Orange, we are proud to present the largest year- book ever published at West Orange High School, the 1961 West-O-Ranger. JEFFREY KEIL
