Mr. William Herron. Guidance Counselor Mrs. Lillian Lago, Adviser Mr. Herron, our guidance counselor, advised us wisely through our three years at West Side. Through his intelligent counseling we gained an understanding of the work that will challenge us after we graduate from high school or college. He also helped some students in the preparation for the College Boards examination and others in obtaining various positions in the business world. Our senior advisers. Mrs. Lago and Mr. Kriegs-feld. gave their considerable time and offered many helpful suggestions for our senior activities. Senior Day. the Mardi Gras dance. The Boyfriend. and the prom would not have been successful without their planning and advice. We hope that other graduating classes will be as fortunate as we were in the selection of the class advisers. Mr. Louis Kriegsfeld. Adviser 6 BIT OF HUMOR may be detected as we meet with our counselor and advisers.

■annui fer HOMEROOMS As a class, particularly because of our small number, we work. plan, solve problems and enjoy activities together. A very real closeness is found in the homerooms. Each homeroom thus develops a distinct spirit and personality. We become used to the daily ritual of greeting our homeroom companions and hearing the usual exclamations, jokes, and gripes of each person. Among this chatter, if we listen without trying to get in our bit of news, we hear all the imperative facts of the day—not answers for class, of course, but the teachers who are in' or liked for some deed extended, such as an easy test or shortened homework assignment. We are also made aware of the individual victories of our classmates, ranging from scoring a touchdown to getting that coveted boy to ask for a date. The homerooms, pictured below, show us sedate and orderly—it's a rare scene.
