There were long vests, short vests, long shirts under short vests and long vests over short shirts. Every girl had at least one vest hidden in her closet. Guys got into the act with vests that were part of three-piece suits. Some vests made an outfit dressy. A short vest over a long shirt created a casual outfit. Vests were worn over shirts, dresses, sweaters, and other vests. The art of layering reached its peak with the advent of the vest. We loved it! We Wore it!

9 ---f.sl.-afaPifnS I Our high school years were a time when we sampled life. During the summer we played, worked, relaxed, and grasped whatever we could from our vacation to make the past nine months' work worthwhile and to prepare for the next school year. School opened and we began to sample the student's life again. Each year is similar to the previous one and yet each has its own flavor. Electives were sam- pled as part of the academic life. Some of us drifted into welding and auto mechanics while others experimented with cooking and sewing in home economic classes. The extra-curricular activ- ities offered us another side of life. Many students became involved in chorus, band and Rammettes. Clubs offered us the opportunity to sample different careers or hobbies. Sampling sports was a big part of our lives. Some played football, some, basketball or tennis. Those of us who didnit join a team became a part of the Spirit Committee. We yelled at pep rallies, attended games, put up signs, and did all we could to support our teams. The night life did not end with the games. We were eager to see how many houses we could roll and how late we could sneak in without getting caught. On the weekends we danced at The Keg, or The Fine Fox. We went out to eat, to the movies, skating, skiing, boating, shopping, hunting and Hshing. All in all, work and play were very much a part of our sampling life at Westlake High School. .7

There were different types of fashion worn here at Westlake, but one thing was agreed on. If one wasn't dressed nicely or neatly he or she wasn't noticed. A tremendous amount of money was spent on clothes. Prac- tically every weekend we went shopping for a new dress or slacks to wear on Monday. Straight leggedjeans were very popular when worn with spiked heals. Big tops, Vests, neck ties, and flared skirts were fashionable and fashion made the man or woman at W. H. S.
