In Appreciation . . Tray after tray of strawberry shortcake brings smiles to the faces of Mrs. O'Neal and Mrs. Lewis. Now comes the fun part -forty gallons of whipped cream! You may have .managed to skip the cafeteria entirely, perhaps you're a nicotine fiend or you visit the library duringlunch. But you couldn't have missed one woman who is closely associated with the cafeteria -- Mrs. Ruth Lewis. Granny, : as she was more affectionately known, man- aged to get around quite a bit, !Who'd she flirt with this time?l. Seriously, Granny's job re- guired more than most stu- ents knew about. Her work day began at 6:30 a.m. and in- cluded ordering food, filling out countless reports, super- vising the kitchen, and keep- ing everything absolutely spotless. Even so, she still managed a smile or a friendly word for each student. The 1972 Amici staff consi- ders Granny a vital, part of Western's world, and it is with pride that we take this oppor- tunitiv to give her a special wor ofthanks. 'As of january 20, 1972, Granny. became an actual grandmother. Congratulations! f ' Marshall COverheard in cafeteria! Granny to Wayne David- Granny knows that it takes more than just planning for her cafe- son: I can't believe you ate the whole thing! teria to run smoothly, there are all sorts of reports afterwards, too! 1023 G

There were statistics galore that tried y to captu re what Western was like in 1972, but it was indeed a difficult task. To really know Western,,one must go to the students. The Amici asked What is Western to you? Student replies were just as varied as the statistics. l ' Perkins In the dimly lit auditorium, faces in the crowd blur to become the student I body.

It's a whole world in its Own. I think it's sort of fun. Well, we've changed this year . . .for once.
