4 TOP CATS Knowledge is found with books. Experience is found in the classroom. Wisdom is formed by knowledge and experience. The faculty of Westport tries to im- part knowledge and experience through the use of literature and various classroom techniques. This year seventy-five teachers strove to bring Westport the finest in education. They came early, worked hard, then stayed late. Some teachers worked on tests for the students while others sponsor- ed activities with the students. All was for the betterment of the pupil. The student read, observed, and gained experience. This was credited to the hard work of the Westport faculty. The faculty was under the direction of the administration, which was headed by Mr. William D. Evans, Acting Principal. Mr. Fiske Miles became Administrative Assist- ant, while Mr. Eugene Banaka held the job of Vice- President. Besides giving guidance to the teachers, the administration regulated the student body. There was a general tightening of rules, especially concerning tardi- ness and eighth hours. Although it took disciplinary measures, the administration remained in high respect by the student body. The administration was neither too lax nor too stern. A mutual respect among students, teachers, and the administration evolved.
