Rogr.on Photo V eei tf-osieu osulL We are called the Lumber- jacks from Westwood High School and our name is an honored one. Lumberjacks are the men who utilize their strength so that the trees may be severed from their terrestrial bonds and used to aid man in his search for hap- piness. We are forever grateful for the trees that have helped pio- neers to conquer wildernesses and build the wilds into flour- ishing civilizations. It is because of this gratitude that the annual staff for the 1947 CHIPMUNK has thought it appropriate to use THE TREE as its theme for Volume XXXII. I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose besom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. —Joyce Kilmer. 2

P UixU LcdX MeA aCfe RONALD W. COX, Superintendent and Piincipal Our School, like an individual, has a character. That character has been built into what it is by the fine things that all of us have done. We must never forget that all we do has its effect on the school that we call ours. Just as surely as a fine act builds good character, a poor, unthinking, hasty acl tears it down. We are all ambassadors for our school, seeking to make it a better one. The ideals we hold as individuals, manifested in conduct and action build the character by which our school is known. As we build the character of our school into a strong, successful one, we build the ideals of good charactei into our own lives, giving ourselves the real values of a disciplined life with high purpose. 4
