 JANUS WESTVILLE Hi h School Eight years ago the present building was erected and dedicated to the education of the common people. At that time the student body consisted of about fifty students and the faculty of four teachers. Many changes have taken place during the following eight years. Rapid progress has been made in all branches of scholastic activities, until to-day we are established as one of the leading schools in Illinois, ranking among the best in music, literary, scientific and commercial work as well as in athletics. The enrollment of W. T. H. S. has increased fourfold in the last two years. The increase in the size of the student body has been so great that much difficulty has been experienced in finding seating capacity for everyone. New classes were formed and new teachers were hired until finally the necessary adjustments were made and the school again assumed a business-like air. Our teams have lived up to their reputation and have made excellent records in athletics. This is mostly due to the wonderful spirit of our boys who take part in the different branches of our athletics. Improvement in our literary work has also been made. “The Westville High.” took second place in the Illinois High School Press Association Contest. The annual has been entered in the Arts Craft Guild and Illinois State Contests and it is hoped that we mav place in one of these contests. The building and grounds of W. T. H. S. is also something of which we should be proud. The campus is always green and is covered with shrubbery and trees. A lovely cottage, all modern, has recently been erected for the Principal’s home. On the back of the campus is a large grove within which is built a cinder track. Just beyond this is situated our football field. New bleachers were added this year and also a building to house athletic equipment. Westville High School is growing and it will continue to grow rapidly in the next two years. A new addition to the building is necessary and the board anticipates the building of this addition this summer. With this outlook in view we teel sure that Westville High will accomplish even greater things in the future than she has in the past. — Helen Anderson, ’26.
