These are the patient directors who tried to perfect our rehearsals.

Mr. Forssen, known as Tage', to the entire student body, appears to be the most capable stage hand ever to appear on the Westfield cir- cuit. Tage is given top billing by the members of all the decoration committees in Westfield High School who work feverishly on the decora- tions of our one-night standn productions, for either Tage or one of the members of his staff must be present during the painting and decor- ating sessions which precede our dances and our plays. Tage not only supervises, but also does half of the work himself. Tage was born in Herberga, Ostergotland, Sweden, and did not make an appearance in the United States until 1928. In 1933 he receiv- ed his final citizenship papers. He made his first MR. TAGE FORSSEN local appearance here in the department of maintenance in 1930 and has remained with us ever since, except for a three year period in which he toured with the United States Army. At a meeting of the school board on July 26, 1951, Tage was appointed chief custodian of the new senior high school. His popularity with the public may be attributed to many different reasons. Certainly paramount is the fact that he loves the students and is quite a child psy- chologist. With his kind and helpful winning way Tage has made himself a beloved part of the Westfield Senior High School cast, and a milestone in the memories of those who go on.
