West View High School West View, Pennsylvania May 1, 1946 The Senior Class of 1946 West View High School West View, Pennsylvania To The Class of 1946: Your high school days have been most unusual. Those of you who started here as seventh graders in September 1940 were already hearing the rumblings of world conflict. That spring you were probably on hand to cheer the first two of twelve teachers who were to leave academic robes behind and don the blue or khaki of Uncle Sam's armed forces. And then the next December came Pearl Harbor and a country at war. That war continued almost until your senior year. While you were too young to ioin up for combat duty, you still did your share by attending to the many chores on the home front. Now you are at the milestone that marks the end of your term of childhood. You come out of a high school into a world not at peace but at least not at war. We like to feel that this war which cost us so much in human suffering, material resources, and upset economic structure has also presented us, and particularly you, with the opportunity to build a better world for tomorrow. Because if the world of tomorrow isn't a better world, there won't be any world left for to- morrow. You naturally ask what you can do about building a better world. It sounds like a tremendous iob. We at West View High School like to feel that we have helped in some small way to prepare you for such a iob. We hope that we have built character--a willingness to see the right and do it, tolerance for those of other faiths, colors, or creeds, sympathy for those oppressed or underprivileged, and a willingness to give and take. These things will bring a better world. To those of you who are planning, to continue formal education in colleges or other schools, I want to wish you all success and I know that great things will be yours if you are willing to work hard enough to obtain them. To the girls entering nursing, I wish a sympathetic ond understanding nature. To those en- tering soon into industry or retail selling, I wish a willingness to give honestly of time and ability. To one and all, I hope you will keep continually before you our school motto . . . Not to be served but to serve. Sincerely yours, Westvian 4- 10
