foreword This publication is the final worl{ of the Class of 1953. It is meant as a summary of our journey through high school from our freshman year to today as we come to the end of the Westward Trail, our graduation. Its purpose is simply to record our studies, activities, and progress; and, in so doing, perhaps to preserve a memento of the personality of our class. We have many challenges facing us as we leave school. We are graduat- ing at a time when our ideals and theories will reveal much importance in shaping the future of our country. It will be our responsibility to meet these challenges by putting our theories into practice so that our country, our cities, and our towns may continue to carry on the reasonably calm existence com- mon to them. This will not be an easy tasl{, and perhaps some of us might have a more direct part in it than others. Nevertheless, the future is a direct challenge to all of us. This boo is intended as a reminder of the last days that we spent at Westwood High School, preparing for our Commencement. One of our journeys has been completed, and this is its chronicle.
