This year's Ram-ler will be treasured both for its worth and for the memorable school year that it shall commemorate. The splendid record of the football team, the newly awakened spirit of the community, the new school plant, our loyal Pep Squad, the thriving club program, the Honor Roll and Honor Society are all signs of a school that is alive and moving forward. The most striking change is in the attitude of the faculty and student body, which seems to say, I am proud to be a part of all this. Yes, we are all proud to be a part of Westlake High School. So as we look back over the 1947-4-8 school year; there is only one suitable expression. well done ..MINIMI 1' ' HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY PRINCIPAL J. M. Le Tard COMMERCE Christine Saloom HOME EC.
