GIRLS ' COUNSELOR West Valley is Tops! We, the students and the faculty, appreciate our physical equipment-and all the work and planning and worry that is necessary to attain such facilities. Working together we can use these facilities to help you realize that school is more than books and studying and activities-that it is living, not iust the preparation for living. That it is the application of all the big bits and little bits of knowledge to your minds to enrich your personality and to help you mature into the best kind of an individual you can dream of being. Working together we can help others know that West Valley is one ofthe best places available to help young people attain mature goals and to develop into con- siderate, well-adjusted, thinking, questioning citizens, well-equipped to take their places in the business world or in college as each might choose. Yes, West Valley is tops and let us continue work- ing together to keep it that way. cgi-Ll? BOYS ' COUNSELOR A high school is more than buildings, classes, teach- ers, or students. A high school is spirit, attitude, co- operation, laughter, sorrow, winning, losing, failing, and succeeding. West Valley is making its mark, and we are moving forward. The class of T958 should be proud of its contribution toward making West Valley a great school. The measure of greatness of an institution of learn- ing is found in its ultimate product-the stature of the men and women it nurtures-and their contribution to the order, beauty, and sanity of their community. .

S UPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, Marion B. Folsom, says, Education is both a personal interest and a national asset. For education enlarges life-not only for each of us as a person, but for all of us as a Nation. With the completion of the multipurpose building, West Valley High School, as originally planned, will be completed. We shall, then, have full facilities for a top notch school program. However, buildings only help to make a school. A school is people, West Val- ley High is you. Each student must go the extra mile with his parents, teachers, and community to help the you of West Valley realize its full potential. This age, as every age, has its challenge. Today as never before we hear much about the special chil- dren and the gifted child. West Valley challenges not only the gifted, but every young man and young woman to develop his talents and abilities to the maxi- mum for his personal edification and for his maximum contributions to our community, our nation, and the world. -in-iw -'fm'-22 Hn-' TT: m.5.4l bnqyf a PRINCIPAUS MESSAGE Success is not rare, it is common Very few miss a measure of it. It is not a matter of luck, or of contest- ing-for certainly no success in life can come from one's preventing the success of another. It is a matter of adiusting one's abilities to a service needed by others. There is no other success. Most people think of it in terms of getting. Success, however, begins in terms of giving. To every member of the class of 1958 we extend sincere wishes for a full and generous measure of success in the years to come. May your eyes be up- lifted to far horizons, your hearts strong, and your ideals bright and shining.
