Our Superintendent I believe that Westfield may be justly proud of the fact that from the earliest days it has always emphasized the importance of education and has been the first to offer its youth the newest and most advanced ideas in this held. Once it was the only school of secondary education m this area and its registrants read like the names in a college cata¬ log. Pupils came from the east, west, and south. Our School has always done its part and more m the de¬ velopment and making of this country truly great among the nations of this earth. Mr. Frank C. Prown Board of Education How often have we heard, “I’ll see the Board for some new books,’’ or “The Board will see about getting that repaired” and so on. Well, just that is the Board of Education. It is the underlying organization which forms the groundwork of Westheld High School. Whenever any problems arise, they are shoved off onto the school board. For this reason and for many others, the Class of 1944 takes this opportunity to express its sincerest gratitude for all the splendid supervision and helpful co-operation so generously granted by the Board of Education. standing: Dr. Louis J. Brown, Mr. Wilson Rood, Mr. Forest (L Sparks, Mr. Edgar T. JVelch. seated; Mr. Dixon P. Whitney, Dr. Pail S. Laughlin, Mrs. Stockton Harter, Mr. Sam F. Nixon, Mrs. Herbert Thompson, Mr. Elmer 0.

H. M. EATON Principal 1944—What a year in which to graduate from high school! World-shaping events just on the verge of happening keep us in breathless antici¬ pation. Boys and girls, today seniors, tomorrow the men and women responsible for the destiny of nations, face an opportunity unmatched in all history. Will the nations learn the lesson of interde¬ pendence and the suicidal effect of recurring war¬ fare, or will they subside into self-sufficient isola¬ tionism and false prosperity until some aggressor is ready to start another and even more disastrous reign of terror.? The answer is with the college hoys and girls and the high school seniors of the world. It is for them, more than any other group, to say whether we are to face another blood-bath, or whether humanity is to realize, while still on earth, “the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.” Can there be a more challenging oppor¬ tunity or a more supreme responsibility.? H. M. Eaton ARTHUR J. MACER Pice-Principal To be associated with the Past m Our School, and also have a part in the Present, affords one the rare privilege of being able to wipe off traditions, grown dusty with the passing years and compare Youth of Yesterday with Youth of Today. One wonders, what we “Oldsters” would have done, if, in our school days, the public had ex¬ pected Youth to have the privilege of greater self expression and self discipline, rather than judging a school, largely on the degree of strict discipline that was maintained. To me. Youth has merely grown more frank with the passing years. Youth still has the same ambitions, the same high ideals, the same desire to be some one and to be looked upon with respect and pride. The manner in which Youth of Today have accepted the responsibilities placed upon them in this time of National Crisis, makes one proud to have been associated with them and their Class of 1944.
