GRADUATING CLASS (Hlasi - We salute our high school and we cheer her Our youthful voices to her raise, And we thank her for the life she taught us In our grandest of high school days. Hail to thee. Our glorious mother, high school! Hear our praises—hear us sing. Thought of years we’ve spent within your portals Dearest mem’ries to us will bring. “Iffail tii Mrfltcrlg” Mem’ries we will always carry with us, The happy thoughts time can’t erase. We will cheer the march of other footsteps That will soon come to take our place. CHORUS---------------------------- To the sound of echoing high school footsteps We will march, and wo’ll ever be Striving always for the right. Loyal to your Blue and White, Hail to thee, our Westerly! —Lois Maines.

The Senior Year Book — 19.39 Jlrmtont a Abftmsa Citizens, faculty, and fellow students of Westerly High School: We, the Class of 1939, extend to you a most enthusiastic welcome to our long-awaited evening of merriment. We also wish to thank you sincerely for the fine cooperation which you have shown us during our pleasant but strenuous hours in the beautiful building, your gift to our class and to those to come. It has been largely through your kindly, sympathetic spirit that we have been able to keep the tradition of our school activities above par. The time has at last come when we have to leave our beloved teachers who have guided us so well these past three years to this fitting climax. The sincerity and tireless work of our faculty have made them respected by all. With such an unusual teaching staff, we feel assured we are well equipped to meet the world’s problems. To the citizens of the town of Westerly, we feel much indebtedness for our splendid new high school, so far superior to most other schools in Rhode Island towns of this size. Our prominent alumni have again our almost exhausted thanks. They have shown their generosity by equipping our up-to-date gymnasium with an electric scoreboard which has enormously increased the interest and attendance at basketball games. We feel very proud of it. Now, friends, I must leave you to go to my home, as I have invited some of my classmates over this evening for a last get-together and celebration. Will you join us? —WALTER MILLER.
