Westwood High School - Chipmunk Yearbook (Westwood, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 52 of the 1957 volume:

CJ H57 7 WESTWOOD HIGH SCHOOL WESTWOOD CALIFORNIA VOLUMN XL 11 MRS. ETHEL HURD Dedication It is with extreme pleasure that we have the privilege of honoring the above teachers. Together they have served the students and the community of Westwood for over a century. The years alone are insignificant, more important are the examples of kindness, affection and understanding that they brought to the classroom. The staff of the 1957 Chipmunk respectfully dedicates this yearbook as small repayment for the years of service and hours of devotion they have so unselfishly given to their students. We are better people for having known them. MR. LEONARD H. RANDALL Superintendent’s Message Because our school brings people together in groups, and because group action is often necessary and valuable, it is sometimes assumed that the group is the imponant and significant factor and the individ- ual is unimportant. This is a dangerous assumption. Individual differences are a much greater source of strength than uniformity. Progress depends on each individual assuming personal responsibility for his own development. Full respect for the philosophy, beliefs, convictions and aspira- tions of each individual will assure an environment which will promote the individual and the common good.

CHUCK OXFORD JOHN YDERRAGA BARBARA LEE SHARON EDWARDS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer LYNDA GLENN AUDREY PHILLIPS MRS. CLAGETT Yell Leader Song Leader Advisor As Freshmen we weren’t very active as a class, but as individuals we were thrilled to be a pan of the High School. That year we had two informal class panies. As Sophomores we became more active. To begin the year with, we sponsored the annual Christmas Dance, using the theme of White Christmas. We finished the year with swimming parties. When we were Juniors we started the year off with a bang by winning first place in the song contest and third in the yells. Throughout the year we had sales at games and at school. In the spring we sponsored the Star Dust Dance, using Evening in Paris as a theme. We put on the play, Nothing But the Truth, which was a huge success. We ended the year with a banquet and the Prom. Then finally we found ourselves Seniors! We were very busy putting out the Chip- munk and doing money making activities, such as putting out a Pep Book and having sales. We put on the annual Harvest Moon Ball. Now we look forward to the Song and Yell Contest, Senior Play, Prom, Senior Banquet, Skip-Day, Baccalaureate, and finally, marching down the aisle for Gradu- ation and receiving our diplomas. We feel excited and happy, but not without sadness about leaving Westwood High School. Senior Class Will I, Mary Armstrong, will my ability to do Bookkeeping to someone who likes it. I.
