To you, the students of WGC, the "Chieftain" staff
proudly presents its yearbook of 1954-55. We have tried to
exhibit in this book how we have developed intellectually,
spiritually, physically and socially through the past year.
May you always cherish this book with the fondest of
memories for WGC.
