PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE For most of you, Westwood High School has been your school for four years. We hope that it has been a worthwhile experience, providing you with the appropriate tools to learn, as well as an atmosphere in which you could live together peacefully. Never has there been a time in our history when we as a people have needed to be more united in a common purpose than in the present. Your talents and leadership qualities must continue to be nurtured and developed so that you will be prepared to meet the challenges of the future. Our hopes and wishes are that each of you will work diligently to establish an excellent and enviable track record for the Class of 1981 in the world of today and tomorrow. Best wishes always. Duane E. Kocina Principal

Paul LaCamera Class President VALEDICTORIAN ' S MESSAGE One of the most important results of our four years at Westwood High School has been to develop our interests and talents and to help us decide on possible careers. Our education has been excel- lent, and we will carry the benefits of it in whatever we do after graduation. However, during our Green Years much more has happened that will shape the rest of our lives. Our class has been involved in many activities, some competitive, and many of us have had valuable job experience. In both ways, we have learned some- thing about working with other people. The friendships we have formed in the past years have taught us much and will last through- out our lives. Indeed, our class spirit, as well as school spirit, have been reflections of the lessons learned concerning the value of unity and the necessity for cooperation. Our lives will soon be different, whether we go to college or join the labor force, but our experiences at this school, both academic and extracurricular, will help us adjust to the new and more re- sponsible positions we will hold. I wish every member of the Class of 1981 happiness and much success throughout life. Dan Scales Class Valedictorian PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE As a class, we started our Senior year in much the same way as previous classes. With apprehension and enthusiasm, we looked forward to whatever our final year at Westwood High would bring. At the outset we had our share of problems with class unity; but this was to be expected, since we were trying to bring together a group of talented and competitive people. We have taken our lumps, also, from the effects of Prop. 2V2, which has put somewhat of a damper on morale in general. We have spent four years growing and maturing, and we are now in the process of winding down our years as youngsters, wrapped in a cocoon. We will all look back with happiness at the friendships we have made and the memories we hold. As I write this, it is not the best time of year; the winter has been long and cold, and all those concerned are worried about college acceptances. The best part of this time of year for me has come at the recently played Boy-Girl Hockey Game. The class showed there that they can pull together. In the coming months many more senior activities will take place, and by June 7, we will be a class, a unified class. No matter what may be said, it is what you know and hold in your heart that counts. In closing I would like to say that I have no regrets. I feel that it is quality, not quantity of friendship which counts. I have cer- tainly enjoyed the privilege of close friendships here. I would like to thank Miss Dillon and the entire Westwood staff. A special thanks to Liz, Amy, and Nancy, who have given you their best. Finally, I would like to wish each member of the Class of 1981 the best of luck in the future. God Bless! Paul LaCamera Class President Dan Scales Class Valedictorian
