Page Seven As w© leave you dear old Westville High Memories of the golden days gone by Always deep within our hearts will lie They're so dear to us. All the football games and high school cheers Sometimes happiness and sometimes tears These will linger with us through the years They're so dear to us. We'll be so alone without you Faculty and classmates old, and new Senior play and prom have passed away Soon the picnic and our high school days To these things goodbye we'll have to say They're so dear to us.

A stitch in time saves nine JAM US Janus am I; oldest of potentates; Forward I look, and backward, and below I count, as god of avenues and gates, The years that through my portals come and go. I block the roads and drift the fields with snow, I chase the wild-fowl from the frozen fen; My frosts congeal the rivers in their flow; My fires light up the hearths and hearts of men. —Longfellow.
