Dear Seniors: Soon you will be leaving Westbury High School to take your place in other environ- ments. Regardless of what your future occu- pations may be, you will find, at first, that your new program is strange and perhaps difficult. However, these past four years have trained you to meet varied tasks and disci- plines. The integrity which you brought to high school and which was protected and en- n eaKcrcwWmaoVe you to fight a worldly greed. The freedom of thought and choice you knew here will always keep you as free men. The understanding of yourself as an American, which was cultivated and inter- preted here, will give you the strength to de- fend your ideals. Apply yourself to worlds yet to be con- quered with courage, honesty, diligence, and determination. You will, then, hold suc- cess within your grasp. Sincerely, John W. Kickham JOHN W. KICKHAM Principal RAY N. SOUTHARD Assistant Principal LEON A. PAYNE Director of Guidance For the smooth coordination of a school, a man like our Assistant Principal, Mr. Ray South- ard, is indispensible. His fine talent for efficiency results in making workable the schedule, attend- ance, school civil defense, and the point and honor roll systems. His fine service plus his bright personality have made him a most appreciated and important member of Westbury High School’s administrative staff. Students with hectic program changes, nervous seniors with college applications, and uncertain juniors and sophomores with ideas, but no plans, are daily seeking the guidance of Mr. Leon Payne, head of the Guidance Department. It is he who starts us on the post-high school road of our lives. It is he who helps us to find the road that best suits our capabilities and interests. We offer our many thanks to youfgMr. Payne; for we know that our future, started by your help- ful hands, will be fruitful. 8
