Industrial Arts, Driver Educa- tion; Woodworking Club Adviser We are indebted to our faculty, who faithfully instruct us, strictly discipline us, and devotedly seek to guide us along the long and arduous road of our high school years. These men and women have willingly given us much of their spare time simply because they want to help us improve ourselves and our school. Not only have they sacrificed much of their time, but they have also set a sterling example for the entire student body to follow. Through the years, when the paths of our lives lead us away from Westbury High School, we shall never forget the teachers who comprised such an important part of our lives for these four unforgettable years.
