Moments Of Pride To excel is to achieve, to achieve is to bring recognition, to bring recognition is to instill pride. At WHS we have witnessed many moments of pride. We have reflected in the light of a masterpiece of architecture and watched the crown- ing of the Queen for whom the bonfire was dedicated. A feeling of pride shown in our eyes as we cheered V-I-C-T-O-R-Y after the Memorial game. Many trophy cases around the school are filled with the results of achievement and hard work which our different departments have strived for and captured. For’ some, achievement and pride come in the form of an ‘A on a Calculus K final, for others a winning score, and for many a year well-done.

But Still A Place For Fun Despite the changing conditions, WHS developed a vibrant and happy atmosphere, achieved through its student body. The fun began with Homecoming Week, the time all Senior boys look forward to and administrators greet with Excedrin bottles and free passes to Saturday sessions. Wood was “‘found’’ in the strangest places, which began a pile ending in what ’ definitely was the best, and most trouble free bonfire in the history of the school. The Senior girls also participated in the festivities by dragging their weary bodies out of a warm bed to create a masterpiece sculptured in toilet paper in a football player’s trees. Soon after foot- ball season ended, Senior Carnival began. It will never end—the paint still lingers from the body painting booth and the water still remains waiting for another victim to be thrown in. The theme was Tucson—the Wild West—which was quite fitting. Instead of bounty hunters, the “wanted” were pursued by a Senior boy with a glint of mud in his eye. The Seniors were not the only ones who chased after the unsuspecting students. For awhile, money-hungry Juniors with carnation stains between their teeth seemed to be lurking behind every locker bank. Although a place of higher learning, Westchester also achieved the standard of a place where fun could always be found.
