N D A 3 1' M OUR HERALD All that begins must end. So spoke Seneca in the long ago. At times, 'tis true, when the year seemed to advance with laggingi footsteps, We were inclined to doubt this maxim, but now the end has come, and all too soon! Once again has old Westport been be- sieged by attacks and fads as natural to her as the measles and mumps of our in- fancy. We successfully passed through such preliminaries as pigtail and hobo days, We survived countless graduation books, We thrived upon such joys as class day and the Senior Play, We passed through that week of night-mares, exam- ination time, with flying colors, and then, with a flourish, rounded up with the final flutter and excitement of graduation it- self.

This year, too, for the first time came Freshman organization, and a Fresh- man mixer. It was this splendid school spirit that supported the Crier and fostered the Her- ald, and has enabled the staff to place this book before you in its entirety. Thus it is quite fitting that we should dedicate this Herald of 1920 to the student body, for it is their support and help which has made the Herald a reality. It is for that part of the Student Body which returns next fall to produce the winning teams of 1921. From their ranks must come the foot ball team which will uphold our victorious standards, and men to be drafted for basket ball and track. It is the Student Body which must keep
