The Seniors Remember Four Wonderful Years in Westwood High School IFE in Westwood High School is a phrase which is very difficult to define. Four years in Westw-ood High School cannot be explained in just a few words. For us members of the Class of '46, Life in Westwood High School began four years ago when we became freshmen. The Freshman Dance was the most important event that year. We tried to keep the decorations simple and representative of the autumn weather. What fun! What excitement! About one hundred little freshmen madly ran around to procure brilliant autumn leaves, rustic fences, and multicolored crepe paper. But when we were sophomores we were more polished, more debonair, more urbane. Our Sophomore Hop was really a spectacular dance. The semi- formal Hop was held on March l7, l944. The decorations were of emerald green in the true Saint Patrick fashion. To carry out the green theme, we bor- rowed an extremely green square of artificial grass. On this bright hued square we arranged yellow tulips and a bird bath filled with green water. Our dance was a decorator's paradise! l ln our junior year the Junior Prom was the social highlight of l945. lt was a wonderful promll The gym was transformed into a glamorous ship. Flags, anchors, life preservers, and hurricane lamps were very much in evi- dence. We remember the pastel, formal gowns swaying in the dim light, the fellows' tanned faces above gleaming white jackets, and the orchestras' smooth melodious strains. Lovely, Lovely, Lovely. The worst bl-ow came to our class in our junior years. Just before the Easter vacation we received the terrible newsithat our popular classmate, friend, and leader, Robert Langner, U, S. M. C., had been killed during the bloody battle of lwo.Jima. The entire school sincerely mourned the passing of our friend. Well, these are the highlights of our life in Westwood High School, However, there are many little things which, when woven together with the important moments, complete the pattern of our high school memories. We always remember the joking in the halls, noontime dancing, the crowded cafeteria, and the dash to beat the late bell. We'll remember the excitement of the first day of school each year. Even though we tried to conceal our feel- ings, we were excited just the same . . . We'll never forget the 'basketball games and the snowy walks home beneath the cold, frosted stars . . . Those sn-owball fights will always be clear in our minds . . . The day our class rings finally arrived was really a red letter date . . . . . . We'll often think of the wonderful friendships which were made. We'll remember many things about our high school years. We'll never forget our Life in Westwood High School. 30
