MR. ALVIN PANZER Vice-Principal The world would be thrust into deep despair and danger if there were not men who not only enforced the laws of mankind, but also understood and tried to help those who break them. One of these men is Mr. Robert I.ctt, assistant to the principal. Although there have been many times when he had to be quite stern so that the rules of West Side would be respected and enforced, we, the Class of 1966. are deeply grateful to have had Mr. I.ett, a man of great caliber, in our midst. Because of his kindness and great understanding. Mr. Lett has gained the respect, admiration and love of all of West Side. In this ever-changing, complicated world in which we live, leaders and organizers who are willing to give of themselves for the good of others are the key to success. Here at West Side, we, too, realize the necessity of firm but understanding leadership and, because of this, we say thank you to Mr. Panzer who has led us through four successful years of high school. No problem was too small to be considered trivial, no accomplishment was too minor to be considered commonplace, and no failure not worth deep concern on his part. To Mr. Panzer, we owe a great debt of gratitude. With the great wisdom, and knowledge of Solomon, he has counseled us toward the right decisions and has imparted in us a sense of responsibility and respect toward our school, family, and friends. MR. ROBERT LETT Assistant to the Principal

The world is constantly advancing and so is West Side. Mr. Brodsky spends a part of his day analyzing new subjects which may lx introduced in order to keep up with changing times. He has frequent consultations with the department chairmen and teachers concerning the broadening of subject matter needed to prepare us for the future. A considerable amount of Mr. Brodsky’s time is spent getting acquainted with the students of West Side. School adjustment problems are not the only situations discussed when he interviews students. He takes particular delight in helping students achieve their goals, such as college admittance or obtaining a job after graduation. Mr. Brodsky has l een a guiding light throughout our enjoyable high school life. With a ready smile, and a word of cheer and wisdom, he has always been there to guide us in the right direction. Because of his patience, tolerance, and optimism, he is admired by the entire student body. Before we bid adieu to Mr. Brodsky and West Side, we, the Class of '66, would like to thank him for believing in us, and wc shall strive always to justify this belief by living up to the standards of life at West Side which he has successfully instilled in us. 6
