1930 WEATHER VANE VI-—- ---------------------------------- MISS VIOLA M. BECKER lthough not of the faculty, Miss Becker is a charming half of the omnipotent office force. She was graduated from the Eastman-Gainer Business College and is now taking Dr. Anna Y. Reed’s course in personnel work at New York University. Every one appreciates Miss Becker’s friendliness and enthusiasm. MISS EDNA M. DRAKE Drake is the other half of our excellent and efficient office force. She is the half that brings to justice those few who venture to cut classes. Woe to him who receives a summons to the office signed “E. M. D.”! Miss Drake was graduated from dear old Westfield High School. MR. VINCENT B. FAUST J JR. Faust, who received his B. A. from Franklin and Marshall, is now teaching English to the youngsters of the school. Mr. Faust has proved himself excellent both as head basketball coach and assistant football coach. We must not forget the artistic powers he demonstrated in chapel during his several athletic discourses. MR. CARL B. HURLOCK ry[R. Hurlock was graduated from Juniata College with a degree of bachelor of science. He is engaged in teaching the “hard” subjects, except physics, such as physiography, chemistry, and commercial geography. Mr. Hurlock is to be praised for the invincible tennis teams that he has produced. MR. HAROLD M. THOMPSON MR- Thompson received his training at Oswego State Normal School. Woodworking, mechanical drawing, and auto mechanics are the arts of which he is master. Aeroplanes probably attract his interests in his leisure time, for the Aviation Club boasts his guidance.

1930 WEATHER VANE vj= ■of The chief of the Indian tribe was the official father of his people, a leader in war and in pursuits of peace. To become a chief, a man had to prove that he was the one most worthy of the position. He had to prove by undergoing many difficult tasks that he was superior to the other members of the tribe, both mentally and physically. When the time came to choose a new chieftain, he who was best loved by his people was acclaimed chief. During the period of his being chief he had to continue to show his superiority in order to keep the respect of the rest of the tribe. In times of doubt his tribesmen came to him for his aid and advice. When the safety of the tribe was threatened, it was he who led his people through the trouble and strove to uphold the honor of the tribe. We. the Senior Class, are in many respects like the Indian chief. We have received our position by proving step by step that we were worthy of it. During our term as seniors, we have been faithful to our duty of advising and helping wavering underclassmen and of at all times upholding the honor of the Westfield High School. Tw :ni j
