M .Lau S .lean B. Wheeler To the Class of '63: It was with many misgivings last June that I assumed the counseling of this yearis graduating class. Now I realize that I should have missed a most pleasant and interesting experience had this not have happened. You girls have welcomed me and I have come to know you better than I ever thought possible in our brief time together. I have been impressed by your friendliness, your cour- tesy, your enthusiasm and your ability. I shall miss you and remember you with affection as though you had been mine', from the time you entered Western. Most sincerely, 15.

Dear Class of 1963, We believe here at Western that the basic purpose underlying everything that we do is the intellectual and moral development of each student to her greatest capacityf' You have caught the spirit of this statement in the theme which you have chosen for the yearbook. Wisdom implies knowledge and understanding. The pity in lacking the desire for wisdom, the tragedy in not knowing how to find it, are things to ponder. The quotation which you have used is profoundly true. In this present age we are traveling fast toward an uncertain destination. We cannot conceive of the future of life on this planet even a decade from now. We will need women who seek wisdom and who use the wisdom that is theirs to guide the world in the way in which it should go. l congratulate you on the perception that was yours when you chose the theme. As you follow the search for wisdom-and it is a never ending one--be mindful, however, of its two-fold nature. There must also be understanding. It was expressed many centuries ago in these words, an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad. Only when you combine the two-knowledge and understanding-will Western have served you in the best fashion. We see you leave with real regret, and we hope that you will return to share many happy occasions with us. May the years spent at Western have provided you with the wisdom that will make your lives successful ones, and may you keep your devotion to Western's ideals and contribute your best to your home, your city and your country. Sincerely yours, llw12'l2.BJ?

APPRECIATIQN MVS- H3261 Baer Mrs. Edna Lilienfeld Four long years have passed since the first gangling members of the class of 1963 entered Western. We came here frightened and unsure. As we plunged into the turmoil of year activities, we were grateful for the guidance and assistance of our advisors. Now, as we look back on our years here, we remember their patience and understanding, and we realize the debt of gratitude that we owe them. The class of 1963 now wishes to express its sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Hazel Baer and Mrs. Edna Lilienfeld. Miss Roberta White .sr .yy There is another person to whom the class of 1963 would like to express its sincere thanks-Miss Roberta White. Before her retirement Miss White counseled and advised us through the many crises we experienced in 9 our first three years. Her assistance lessened the immedi- ate strangeness we may have felt as new-comers to Westerri High School.
