he Year arad The war has played an important part in the activities of West Bend High School this past year. From the first moment that the students of the class of '46 entered these halls to take entrance examinations the aim of the entire student body and faculty has been centered around whole-hearted co-op- eration. The freshmen have played their part in the school's activities and have learned what new and exciting thrills await them when they rise to the ranks of upper- classmen. When we entered classes last fall. little did we know how close the war would be brought to our front door. lVlany of our instructors entered the armed forces which created the big problem of 'iwhere to get teachers. Upon his entrance into the United States Navy, lVlr. Runkel was presented with a token of appreciation from the boys in the WB Club. Mr. Runkel was track coach, the assistant football coach, as well as an able instructor in history. Top -- Mr. Colby administers Freshman entrance tests Bottom, left -- C. Hansen, M. Gehl, R. Willkomm, H. Miller, R. Schacht Bottom, right -- J. Nehring, R, Klein Genuine morale lifters were the three one-act plays presented in the fall under the direction of Mr. Olson. The Dummy, one of the comedies, was particularly hilarious. The other two comedies, His First Date and Nobody Home proved to be enter- taining performances. Homecoming this year had a more seri- ous trend than that of previous years. Be- cause there was no bonhre, the person who found the toothpick had the honor of crown- ing the Queen of the Homecoming. The lovely queen, Joyce Nehring, elected by the student body, presided graciously over the evening's festivities. Joyce selected as her king, Ralph Klein who reigned with her over the gala occasion. Homecoming day brought a welcome guest to our stage to tell us about navy life. He was Ensign Baechler, one of our teachers who taught bookkeeping and assisted in training the basketball team before he en- tered the ordnance department of the Navy. Early in the fall a triumph was scored by the senior class when Cal Claus won the presidency and Tom Sonnenberg was suc- cessful in obtaining the office of secretary- treasurer of the student senate. Victor janz, a sophomore, was elected vice-president. Top -- The WB boys say good-bye to Mr. Runkel Botton, left -- Mr. Baechler shows up for homecoming Bottom, right -- Student Senate: C. Claus, T.
