r No+e: Our principal, Mr. B. M. Woodad, came to us in 1940 from LaGrange High School where he had served as Assistant Coach. He was with us for three years during which time the students came to admire and respect him. In 1943 Mr. Woodard enlisted in the United States Navy and was commissioned a Lieutenant j.g. After serving a while on a submarine he was moved to the Aleutians where he instructed students in anti-submarine warfare. In December of 1945, after 32 months of service, Mr. Woodard received his discharge and returned to take over his old positiqn as Principal, which Mr. Lloyd Johnson so efficiently filled during his absence. With the new ideas and enthusiasm that he has brought back with him, we all are assured that Westlake High School shall go on to greater achievement. B. M.
