Explanation of Hrt Theme Students of Westport High: You will see us on these pages as we have been represented by man for many ages. To you we may be just statues, but we once lived and loved as you do today. We lived more for the beauty of Art, Music and Literature and less for Commerce and Business. The reverse is true in your modern World. Many weird tales have been formulated about us and the origin of Earth. We were gifted With God-given abilities that the people of today never believed true. but we know different. We lived in castles in the sky, we guided Man on Earth, we traveled over Heaven, Earth and the Lower Regions. To some of you we are ideals, to others we are merely molds of clay which are eternally in the way, something to be cursed. But we are striving here to show you that we lived, had the same trials. the same joys as you today. You might find it interesting to read about us. We are glad to have met you. The Gods of Greece Jupiter fSupreme Deityl 5 Six artists were chosen for the Art Staff this year: Phyllis Reinke, Art Editor: Henry Sivewrightg Yvonne Bailey, Manuel Morris, Harriet Jones, and Mack Claggett.

DEDICHTION GX! l-IE KEYSTONE of the educational arch is the class room teacher. Even though the Qrch has its foundation in the best of administrative policy and educational philos- ophy, it will not hold if the Keystone is weak. Westport High School has been fortunate in hav- ing as a member of the faculty one who is typical of that teacher Whose service to society is the Keystone of our educational system, Whose service is not influ- enced by selfish personal gain, who will be remem- bered by his students for his sincere teaching person- ality, for his keen sense of humor, and for being at all times a courteous gentleman. lt is because he pos- sesses these gualities that the Class of l935 dedicates its Herald to Mr. Frederick C. lrion. l6l
