A TRIBUTE TO OUR PRODUCTION ASSISTANTS Without the assistance of certain individuals, the pro- duction of the 1966 Herald would have been vastly hindered. Because these people felt the importance of meeting deadlines, were considerate and understanding, the 1966 Herald became a reality. Yes, a sincere ’’Thank You to the Victor Berline Studio for perfecting all our formal photography; to Mr. Norman Walters, our man at the Camera Center; to Mr. Bill Caster, our personal representative from Bremson's in charge of our class portraits, and to Mr. Penniston, our personal representative and advisor from Walsworth Publishing House. IN MEMORIAM MR. HAMILTON Mr. Edwin W. Hamilton was a very respected teacher at Westport High. He came to the school in the fall of 1963. Mr. Hamilton worked with the boys in Metal Shop, teaching them the basic skills and techniques of working with machinery and metals. In thinking of the talented workers in metal, Mr. Hamilton introduced a special two-hour course in 1963. He knew his subject well and he taught it as such. Then on October 16,1965, Mr. Hamilton and his family were involved in a car accident. Eleven days later he died from his injuries. His absence is deeply felt by the faculty and students who knew him. Mr. Hamilton was always held in high regard.

COUNSELORS Mrs. Kline, Secretary; Mrs. Agron, Eighth Grade and Freshman Counselor; Mrs. Holley, Senior Counselor; Mr. Yoesel, Sophomore Counselor; Mrs. Buchanan, Junior Counselor. Always must a friendly smile greet the Westporter as he diligently trudges into the office of his coun- selor. Each student has his indi- vidual problems. Each problem demands a special, individual treat- ment. The counselor never knows just what kind of a problem will present itself each time a student enters his office. When a student is called to the counselor's office, he never knows what to feel—hap- piness and accomplishment if he has been accepted at a college of his choice or uneasiness if the dis- cussion is to be about a puzzling drop in grades. Just getting in to see a counselor is often a difficult feat because each counselor has a packed schedule each and every day. Indeed, the counselor plays a busy and vital part in Westport life. OFFICE STAFF The telephone is ringing. A student has lost his book. Another student has been sent to the office because of his bad conduct. The report cards need to be sorted for distribution. The announcements need to be typed and distributed to the teachers. A tardy card has to be filled out for a late student. John Smith needs to see Mr. Banaka about a lost book. Seeing that these many jobs are performed is the task of Westport's busy office staff. Through- out the year, each student is in some manner aided by the tolerant patience and accurate directions af- forded by these workers in the main life-line of Westport—the office.
