Record of Class Achievement WITH the traditional ejection of 210 Western neophytes into the cruel, cold world, we have time to reminisce over the achievements, projects, and victories of the A senior class. With Mr. N. B. Schoonmaker at the helm, the school sailed on an even keel, the thermometer of school reputation and spirit rising perceptibly. . . . Miss Palmer, Mr. Richardson lead the steering committee. . . . George Ludcke, Peggy Greig, Margaret Kenyon, Curtis Ahrens, as class officers, have kept us off the parliamentary reefs. Tuck Teeter, as new football coach, imparted a lot of vigor and sly strategy to the pigskin toters. . . . Bob Kreiger captured the all-city end position, while Don Norton rated all-city quarterback. . . . Flashy Lorrie Abbott corraled the Wells trophy as most valuable man on the squad. Social events of the season were topped by the Blue Tri hop at the Y. W. . . . Then there was the classic U. C. Gingham-Cord Dance that resembled a hill-billy pow-wow. Alumni Association climaxed an eventful year of service with the Football Banquet at Joppa Lodge. Winx redemonstrated their athletic prowess by garnering the Hi-Y football championship. American Legion medal bestowed on George Ludcke after school vote. To raise money for band uniforms, the musical extravaganza labeled West High Revue” featured Randolph Norris and his feminine chorus of dancing assistants. Homecoming and Green and White Day were rolled into one gigantic mixture of color and gaiety, culminating in the traditional gridiron feud with Central. With Art Ostrander leading the attack on student purses, the Community Fund drive went over the top by raising more money than all other city high schools put together. Betty Jane Colby and Lloyd Leemhuis sailed into the scholastic port with the valedictorian and salutatorian sails flying high. The National Honor Society underwent a reorganization with Grant Erwin. Mary Labatt, and Sue Pollock elected new officers. The Hi-Y clubs were galvanized into action by instituting searches for time worn toys, clothes, etc. Gene Garrett’s chosen class photographers by an overwhelming avalanche of ballots. . . . Newspaper undergoes complete revamping in name and policy. . . . Mr. Newstrand comes from Albert Lea to direct West High Times. . . . Lorraine Gaarden first feminine editor since Jane Levin. A seniors, William Kelty, Billy Prindlc, and Ken Morrison, comprise debate team which rises to new forensic heights to capture city and state titles. . . . Boys journey to Kent, Ohio, for national meet as result. A reorganized Student Council, with representatives from all grades, sponsored West High Revue. Armistice program, and skating party. . .. The Fuller Brush Co. shouldn’t overlook Service Club membership. . . . Candy, carameled apple sales zoom to new heights. . . . Newly formed Student Patriot League arranges Roosevelt and Constitution Day assemblies. . . . Dr. Hivali lectured on India. . . . Bernadine Shore wields a graceful skate as Ice Queen. Honor Roll makes startling 50 per cent advance. . . . Bird and Conservation Club launched a campaign to educate students to the value of birds. . . . Hesperian, with Harry Edwards, John Crysler, and Ken Morrison at the helm, again comes through as only semi-annual in city. . . This Hesperian is 40 pages larger than last year's. Band and Orchestra, under Mr. Kreiger’s baton yield some stellar performances. . . . New paintings lend an esthetic atmosphere to the old edifice. . . . Begger on Horseback fulfilled need for a rip-roaring comedy with a big cast. Advisory Presidents, headed by Ken Morrison, Bob Slifer, and Lorraine Dongoske, backed up school projects with vim, vigor, and salesmanship. . . . Efficiency improved by division of A Senior Class into small advisories. . . . Democracy had its free reign. . . . Class vote decided practically every major issue. The cap and gown controversy flamed into a disputed issue with the decision going to the proponents of the change. . . . Boat and Aero clubs appear to have kicked the bucket. . . . Margaret Wilson wins state fair style show and trip to Chi. . . . Noon movies, dancing, ping-pong become firmly entrenched. Student orations, diploma presentation, then Commencement Frolic at the Nicollet, and the January class goes forth with mingled memories of pleasure, and attainments. . . . High school joys and sorrows arc ended. . . . Our class has witnessed a new era in West High history. . . . West has been a great school. . . . May our class have contributed its bit to the Green and White’s forward march!
