orezoom' HE graceful ship lies before us, a mental masterpiece wrought in the beauty of human industryg its perfec- tion made attainable by the perseverance of everylln- dividual in the class of '25. Four weary years the ship build- ers struggled with their craft and now it is prepared to tempt the searching sea. In '22 the strong beams of scholastic interest which were, the beginning of its ship of learning were hewn out of the tree of knowledge which the first fresh- man class of Westport junior high found within its scope. Entering the senior high as sophomores, the buffets from upper-classmen only promoted the addition of resolution and personality to the class of '25, and with the immediate interest which displayed itself in all school activities and scholarship, other fundamental portions were added to their rapidly growing structure. As juniors they showed physical superiority when they gained the right to place their flag above Westport on field day in '24. Their originality and judgment in practical appli- cation of new ideas emblazoned themselves in school history, when the preferential ballot was successfully used in class elections. Outstanding debaters, orators, athletes, singers, and the general high standard of scholarship of the juniors had begun to make them a subject for complimentary conver- sation. So with each single accomplishment another yawn- ing seam in the keel of their ship was filled. For their senior year was left the task of affixing finish- ing touches to their worthy craft. A basket ball team with trophies showing it is the third best in the United States, and the enthusiastic support of all other activities have made the Westport ship of knowledge of the class of '25 a fit vessel to sail on any sea. Now to the seniors starting their journey on this vessel -Hold dear the ideals created at Westport and Bon voyage 'til you anchor in the harbor of Success.
