STUDENT AID The girls in the Health Center assist Miss Porter in her duties as school nurse. They can always be seen taking temperatures, making splints, and listening to the aches and pains of students. The monitors watch the doors and help to thin out the crowded lunch lines. The office assistants contribute to the neatness and accuracy of the office by answering phones, filing cards, writing ex- cuse cards, and permitting students to see the principal and vice-principal.

Have you ever wondered who keeps the floors of Westport so clean and shiny or who empties the wastebaskets or who that man is who always walks by your classroom with a duster in his hand? Or did you ever wonder what happened to the muddy footprints you left on the halls the day before? Well, if you haven’t, it’s time you learned about the wonderful men who do these and many other jobs. Because Westport is used by Junior College for night school classes, it has both a day and night crew of custodians. The day crew starts before the sun comes up in the morning and works until late afternoon. The night crew starts in mid-afternoon and continues working until the wee hours of morning. These men are responsible for locking every door of the building after the last light has been shut off. Besides being responsible for lowering and raising the flag, these men also pick up after Westport Tiger Litterbugs who might thoughtlessly clutter up the campus. In cold and icy weather these are the men who must shovel snowy walks and steps to pre- vent accidents. Now you don’t need to wonder who keeps the floors so clean and shiny or who empties the wastebaskets or who that man is who always walks by your class- room with a duster. You know! It’s your friend the custodian.

CLASSES The nucleus of Westport is the student body. The ever-changing stream of stu- dents, each class with its own problems, activities and expressions, are typical of any high school. The Eighth graders, bewildered by the building, classes, and the new faces, soon learn about classes and gradually become accustomed to Westport life. The Freshmen, who know what it's all about, are thrilled by new oppor- tunities for choosing classes and activ- ities. The Sophomores settle down to study as they await the time when they will be upperclassmen. The Juniors worry about activities, grades, SCAT tests, and preparations for the Junior-Senior Prom. The Seniors wondering about the fu- ture, filled with pride, savor their last year of school before they don caps and gowns and take their places in the world they have been told is theirs.
