Our Captains... Dear Seniors: You are leaving high school at a very critical time in the history of our country and that of the whole world. Our universe has been dwarfed, and men of all nations are looking to the skies. The launching of the first satellite relegates the fiction stories of your early childhood to the back shelves. Men are now actually thinking of and planning on space travel and colonization. It is the begin- ning of a new age of science. Where will it lead? How will it affect you? What are your opportuni- ties? These questions are hard to answer but each of you, no matter what your place in life, will have some part in this new scientific venture. Each of you, with God's help, will live to see the results of this latest move into the unknown. My thoughts of you, in this thrilling future, cen- ter about the attribute of courage. Every new era is filled with disappointments of achievement. It is only the courageous who learn by past mistakes and who are able to forge ahead regardless of the cost. May you never compromise your courage for expediency; may you continue to grow in knowl- edge and may God keep you. Sincerely, John W. Kickham MR. JOHN W. KICKHAM Principal Mr. Ray Southard, our assistant principal, has many duties and responsibilities. Often we see him checking attendance lists and the inhabitants of the detention room. As the head of the Visual Ed- ucation Department, Mr. Southard has supplied us with many hours of constructive pleasure. Figur- ing averages and issuing the honor roll are more of the jobs he renders to Westbury High. Mr. Southard can be found in almost all parts of our school, giving his time and efforts to the needs of the students. Certainly his services are many, and apprecia- tion of his work is acknowledged by all. MR. RAY N. SOUTHARD Assistant Principal Page 6

JEAN ANGSTADT English Wing and Spur Production Advisor Pennsylvania State University; Columbia University JEAN BOGDZIEWICZ French; Spanish French Club Montclair State Teachers College Our teachers, through the years, have served as our guiding light; their beam has shone brightly with rays of friendship and service. Through the teachings of both tangibles and intangibles, they have unveiled to us unexplored vistas of knowledge. Their warmth and understanding have guided us through the darkest waters on our quest for the truth. Without their guidance we would surely have foundered on the rocks of ignorance. From our maiden voyage as Freshmen to our final voyage as Seniors, their wisdom and helpfulness have never failed us. Yes, to our teachers we owe much. It is the memories that we hold of them which will serve as a source of strength in the years to come. ■ ft — AUGUST J.
