We may not have even greeted them when we met them in the halls because we were so accustomed to seeing them, but our principals were closer to the students of VVest View than we realized. They were always near to us, ready to help in case we needed them. They encouraged us to go on to greater heights in our school work. VVe could always depend on them for aid when our outlook on lile was a bit dim. But they also had to correct us when we got out of line. They helped to make our Alma Mater truly another home-our Other Mother. As we seniors stepped out into a seemingly cruel world, we realized the sincere effort put forth by these people to give us a good start in life as newly graduated young people. And, as we go on our way through life, we know that they will still be working with us in all we do, caring about us even though our school days are left behind but not forgotten. To them, our Administrators-who were our friends-we say a sincere Thank You. W. S. LUKE High School Primripul , HAZEL MCGINNIS Assistant High School Principal

BOARD OF EDUCATIO the trail blazers There was probably no group working harder lor the improvement ol' our schools than the Board ol' Education. The members ol this board were elected by the people from Ross Township and XVest View, They held many meetings to try to solve the school prob- lems ol' this last-growing community. Ihis- has been a very trying year. ln addi- tion to their usual probletns ol' hiring pet'- sonnel. maintenance, and balancing the bud- get, they laced the problem ol' an overcrowded condition in all the schools, particularly the secondary schools. They voted to build a new junior high school, but this plan met with disapproval bv a large group ol' citizens- who believed the new building should be a senior high school. This dillerence ol' opinion called lor many extra meetings with parents, arch- itects, and olliicials from Harrisburg. The school board members- have worked diligently and successlully and yet have rc- ceived very little thanks or appreciation. But we know that they will always go on working lor the benefit ol, the North Hills .loint School District.
