Office Secretaries

The dedication of t he 1968 Occident could not hope to equal the dedication of Miss Harriet Brown, who has spent 36 years of unselfish devotion to the education of others. Mr. David Randall speaks of Miss Brown as " .... the most valuable person I've ever worked with in my life. She's a real person who is a master of human rela­tions. Her name has been indelibly inscribed on the lives of many hundreds of boys and girls who were fortunate enough to have known her. She is a person who cares and who has made young girls and boys into ladies and gentle-men."

Miss Brown obtained her Bachelor of Arts and Mas­ter's degree from the University of Chicago. She began her teaching career at Alliance High School in Alliance, Ohio whe.re she taught Business Education and Latin. From Alliance, Miss Brown moved to Columbus. Here she served as Vice Principal of East High School for 13 years. Since 1952, West has been fortunate to have her as its own Vice Principal

Despite the duties which keep her busy at West, Miss Brown is the Secretary of the Quota Club, a Wo­men's service organization in Columbus and an active member of the Beta Lambda chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, a teachers' honorary. She is also a member of King Avenue Methodist Church. Miss Brown's hobbies include reading and knitting. After enjoying trips to the West, she hopes to travel upon retirement.

Miss Brown is admired and respected by the faculty, students, and graduates of West. She is the model of com­petence and more than exemplifies our school's motto, "Wisdom, Honesty, Sincerity."

The '68 Cowboys led by Co-Captains Tom Randall and Chuck Francis, played such tough opponents as Zanesville, Mru·ion Franklin, Linden McKinley and Hartley. But the fight­ing Cowboys still went on to attain a 6-2-1 record, under Coach Gray and his fine coaching staff.

''Your joy is your sorrow unmasked." To know joy, one must have exper ienced sorrow. Both

of these emotions play an integral part in the lives of West's seniors. Students often find themselves in the

157

depths of despair, only to rise above their depression to a state of extreme happiness.

"For in reuery you cannot rise above your a,chieuements nor fall lower tlJ,an your failures. "

During the formative high­school years students learn to accept success humbly and de­feat graciously. They learn of their own strengths and weak­nesses and what they can ex_pect from themselves.

The crowd watched with anticipa­tion as the candidates filed past them. Who will it be?

It started to drizzle, then it poured, but the crowd remained. Their spirits had not been dampened by the sudden downpour.

When halftime finally arrived at the October 13, West-Marion Franklin football game the eager crowd was still there, despite the rain. They had waited too long already to see the crowning of the 1967-68 West High Homecoming Queen; nothing could drive them away now.

A silence over the stadium .... . then a voice announced the name .... . Karen Letsinger, Homecoming Queen for 1967-68. The crowd roared it's ap­proval of the wet, but very happy Karen.

1967 Christmas Queen and Court "It was the night before Christmas" ....... and all

through West High's gym was an air of festiviLy. The stockings bearing the candidates' names were hung with care.

The Y-Teens and Hi-Y Christmas dance this year was held December 16. Cheryl Decker reigned as this year's queen. Her princesses were Linda Neher and Susie Fleming.

Dancing and music were provided by The Esquires.

"Farewell to you and the youth I have spent with you. It was but yesterday we met in a dream. And if our hands shoukl, meet in another dream we shall build another tower in the sky."

As t~wards the west the constant' sun proceeas Day after day across the sky, So do our hearts hold true to you West High, West High, West High.

Men view the sun in many a distant land Their face still westward in the sky; Though we should go as far, we'll love West High, West. High, West High.

And 'tH the sun forgets his anCient goal And seeks a new path through the sk,y Our loyal hearts shall beat for yo.u West High, West High, West Nigh. ' .
