ChampiotiA, Early in the autumn of the year 1935 A.D., sixty-five little shavers marched down the dark corridors of Westwood High School. Although the leaves fell fast and early that year, the group didn’t take long to establish themselves with Jesse Herrera pointing out the course, followed by Charles Pierce in 1936. In the spring of the next year, Boh Creighton led the way and the gallant class of “41” climbed another step in the ladder of achievement with the “Yule Swing”. Harry Knecht then took over the leadership and for the two ensuing years pre- pared and organized his classmates for their final meet. Those two vears saw history made: a school hand hook, the winning of the singing trophy. Junior January Jamboree and the formal prom. In the school year of “40-41” John Anderson was to leave them the memories of his outstanding leadership. The Red, White and Blue Ball, the Junior-Senior picnic, and the grand and glorious proin-—all followed in rapid succession. On the evening of June 12, 1941, forty-eight students dressed in caps and gowns received their diplomas—the “champions” of that six-year course of sun and snow, of easy traveling and hazardous slopes. 13

J’IAaL QIoaa, Snowy slopes of Johnsville! Down-mountain race! A figure zig-zagging between gaily colored flags. Yes, it’s Kenneth Eggleston in the slalom. And there goes Henry Elam in the cross country. This class of “42” is getting in fine championship form, not only for leadership of Westwood High hut also for next season’s skiing. The Juniors came to school last fall w ith Alfred West, Russell Wilkie and Betty Jo Hartley as president, vice-president and secretary. Miss Wilson, returning from a year’s leave, is the class advisor. Under their guidance the class sold noise makers at the New Year’s Dance, sponsored candy sales and publicized a dance never held because of the flu epidemic. The Junior-Senior Picnic and Prom in the spring climaxed the class activities. 14
