Wa uniiomim TFIZE llln Ill GREETINGS! Well, it is over! With a sigh of relief and a sigh of regret we join the other classes that have passed through West- port's halls to the world beyond. The high school career of the Class of '18 is over. We have worked hard for West- port, and we are not at all ashamed of what we have accomplished. We have done well in athletics and well in debat- ing. We are proud of our boys, and our girls have made us famous. During the last year we have seen a wartime Westport. Our service flag bears witness to the more than two hundred graduates and students who have an- swered the call to the colors. Many of our boys have seen service in the Nation- al Guards. We have answered the calls for subscriptions to the Liberty Loans, the Y. M. C. A. War Fund, the Red Cross, and Thrift Stamps. Our Senior play has been a War Pageant, written by a Senior. We have done without announcements, and our girls have gone to the graduation platform without bouquets. Last, but not least, among our achieve- ments is our Herald. For several years the Herald has been gradually changing. The character of the material is some- what different from what it used to be. This is largely due to the fact that the Crier has taken over much of the Held that formerly had to be taken care of by the Herald. Stories, news articles, long accounts of athletic events, the stunts of the societies and clubs, and many other things have appeared in the Crier from time to time. These have no place in this Herald except as they recall to our minds certain memories, or as they are necessary to mirror truly the year's do- ings. You want to glance through the book, see the faces of your old friends, and have recalled to you all of those who have made history for Westport this year, but you do not want to read all about it again in detail. We are glad that we can give you a year book this year that is free from advertising. This is, another thing for which the Crier is to be thanked. We trust that you will like the change. The Juniors and Sophomores have helped us right loyally in the preparation of this copy of the Herald. We thank them. We are proud of the year book of the Class of '18, and we hope that you may preserve it to remember the many pleasant happenings of the past year. The Crier Before we pass to the various activi- ties of the year, we feel that we must say something about the 1917-1918 Crier.
