VOL. V, NO. 8
Westwords, Ho! The week of February 10th is when you can buy your Westwords during English class.
What is Westwords? Why, it's an anthology of student work poems, essays, fiction, non‑fiction, funny, and non‑humorous stories. All you need is 50 cents and it's yours.
How are stories chosen for Westwords? Any of your writing may be submitted to Westwords through your English teacher. They must be typewritten, and they must be in by February 29th.
The Westwords staff this year is made up of all juniors, Claudia Burnett, Diana DeFranco, Sue Gartner, Rebecca Hendrich, Beth Anne Holmgren, Linda Holt, Jane Kopping, Al Kracalik, Judy Latala, Gayle Reay, Marilyn Skeppstrom, Gerry Stec, Diane Weldon, and Jane Wolski.
Miss Anne Lauterbach, sponsor, related, "The quality of this year's Westwords will depend on the cooperation of the entire student body and the work they turn in to us. The staff and I are looking forward to the best Westwords ever, with your help."
Judy Latala '65, editor‑in-chief, summed it up by adding, "If everyone displays genuine effort, we can make this year's Westwords representative of the ingenuity of Maine West students."
Words that could have changed history:
Thomas Jefferson, "I'm sorry, gentlemen. Ten states have failed to ratify the Constitution."
Patrick Henry, "Oh, forget it, I'm going back to England."
Betsy Ross, "Let's see, was it six red and seven white or. . .”
