WQW' I an Jackman' T 1 ememger men . ks s In September, 1947, approximately 250 bright-eyed eighth-graders entered West- portls halls. After going through the fun of the first days, purchasing elevator passes, renting assembly seats, and buying a cafeteria tray, we were inducted into the Westport Way. Some of the highlights of the year included the pageant, THE SPIRIT OE WEST- PORT, and SPEECH ON PARADE, directed by Miss Edna Gales. September, 1948-49-freshmen at last! This was a Presidential election year, too, and much excitement resulted from the election of a Native Son. We joined Lit societies and departmental clubs and we felt that we were well on our way toward becoming full-fledged Westporters. 1949-50-Centemzial Year commemorated Kansas City's prosperous history. Com- munity activities added to the many school events made this sophomore year a happy and busy one. The school year was short, but it was highlighted by another first-place basketball team. The biggest event of our junior year was another championship in basketball. By this time, it was getting to be a habit. We were equally proud of Donald Stackhouse, head of the Kansas City R.O.T.C. regiments. We took the A.C.E., mathematics and junior English tests during this year. Much to our sorrow, we lost our R.O.T.C. unit because of low enrollment. Meet Me In St. Louis and Men Are Like Streetcarsu were big hits. As seniors in the year 1951-52, we were not oblivious of the chaotic state of the world, the threat of inflation and other momentous problems, but first and foremost we were impressed by the fact that we had reached the end of our five-year school program. Tiger Dens, intersociety dance, and plans for the literary contest filled our leisure moments. Finally that rare day in june arrived and we marched down the aisle dressed in caps and gowns to the strains of Pomp and Circumstancef' Our high school days were over and we were left with our memories of the best school of them all.
