and advice to cherish This year and in years to come Mr. Southard will be re- membered as he patiently fills out absentee cards and works on programs in an effort to please each and every one of us. Also as head of the Visual Education Department, he has charge of the school projectors and other visual-aid equipment. Mr. Southard can be found in any part of the school giving his time to various situations which require his capable attention. No matter what type of problem confronts them, the students know that he will lend a “helping hand.” Taking moving pictures at the fall football games is one of the many ways in which he shows an earnest interest in our school activities. Above all, Mr. Southard contributes to the friendly atmosphere we all enjoy and appreciate here at Westbury. MR. RAY N. SOUTHARD Assistant Principal MR. LEON A. PAYNE Guidance Director As Guidance Director, Mr. Payne spends a great deal of time seeing that our students have well organized programs for their four years at Westbury High School. He helps us in planning our futures with care in regard to colleges, business schools and job opportunities. This he accomplishes through carefully arranged College Night and Career Night pro- grams. During this past year, Mr. Payne has made arrangements for several college representatives to visit our school. At this time we have the opportunity to ask our questions and discuss our futures. In his office are catalogues and bulletins from colleges and universities all over the nation; these are available for use by the student body. Mr. Payne can also be consulted on scholarship matters, and he proctors the scholarship and cooperative tests given in the high school. We, too, will remember Mr. Payne’s patient, dignified man- ner as part of the Westbury tradition. 7

This historical recording of your days here at West- bury will afford you many happy memories in years to come. The year has been marked by significant growth and achievements which have added a bright page to the rich history of our school. In your performances you have received the plaudits of your contemporaries and you in turn have rejoiced in their successes. Your entire school-day relationships have been based on a vital community spirit, marked by friendliness, understanding, cooperation, and loyalty. Such a spirit of concerted effort, with opportunity for individual enterprise, has enabled our school to achieve great heights in all fields of endeavor. All members of the faculty join me in com- mending you highly on your accomplishments. Our lives must ever be bound inextricably to the lives of others. Our school experiences have taught us to work and to dwell together in peace and harmony, in the great tradi- tion of our American heritage, in which personal worth and respect for the human soul transcend all other values in importance. May you ever pay service to that great heritage, and may your school training and spirit carry over into your graduate years to give you strength and confidence in building a full and successful life. Very sincerely yours, Cecil L. Rice DR. CECIL L. RICE Superintendent Dear Seniors: You stand on the brink of a new world. Take into the life you are about to enter the good things of the past four years. Take with you duty to performance; responsibility to citizenship; loyalty to friends. As you expand your horizons, learn to be yourself; learn to use your own talents — do not imitate those of others; cultivate kindness and consideration toward your associates; learn to distinguish right from wrong, truth from untruth; and above all have the courage to seek what is right and to say what is true. Sincere best wishes, John W. Kickham MR. JOHN W. KICKHAM Principal 6
